getting the wheels powder coated black or anthracite, will use until i can find
some i like, only prob is the ones i like arn't done in 13''

I was thinking the wheels would look good in gloss black and then some gloss black detailing round the rest of the car would set the paint off really well. Mirrors, wipers, numberplate light etc. sort of like my car really. Excellent work and the exhaust sounds brilliant, just hope it doesnt melt the surround :S

thought about doing some teeth in ally!!!!!!!!!

Hmmm, could be interesting .

only problem is the number plate has got to fit there !

Cant you just get one of them sticker number plates. Then put it on that nice big space under the grill. Would look mint.

O well. The police can cry them selfs to sleep about it then. Just put a normal plate on the grill for MOTs

you do realise that its not the MOT you have to worry about the plates for? its the police that will pull you over and possible give you points and a fine!

Just a little 'L' bracket with two allen bolts througt the plate and onto the brackets hidden behind, on the front valance is what I think would look best. And a 'mini trailers' grille to finish off the front end

well i'm a bit p****d off tonight, got my parcel from Minispares
today, the door bolts i received are UCF not UNC thread, so no
good, the boot rubber clips that cost £8 !!!! ,well i just couldn't
figure out how they fitted to the rubber??? so i ended up just glueing
the rubber to the body... which actually is a better fit
Managed to fit the door trim clips

sprayed the console with satin black paint and fitted the dash and
the water temp gauge..

Would that be the old type seal which mounts to the boot lid?
I just took mine of to replace it.

Basicly there is a small lip on the body side of the rubber which the widest bit of the clip sits into, and then the folded edge is pushed fold first into the holes on the boot lid arround the edge, then it stays (in theory).


Dash is looking great now!

Like the gauges, and I'm jealous that you've got access to a TIG welder!

I'm done copying your fuel tank haha =p Thanks for that
