Wow, glad I got mine when I did, I paid £154 for all three early last year

You were robbed mate, I paid about £80 for all three about 5 years ago!

Just for comparison, a few years ago I bought a complete new tailgate with glass for about £700!

I don't mean to butt in, but £343 for a piece of plastic trim???

To narrow the search, all clusters are the same, it's the code plug that differs.

I've been counting down the years until my car becomes tax/MOT exempt but then discovered that as my '89 car is an import it was officially first registered in 2016. I probably won't live to see it become historic. Gutted.

Is it possible it could be fitted wrongly & the lug with hole should be on the inside?
Cheers

That's how it looks to me too.

I've been doing this for every MOT since I moved to the UK, it was never a problem in Europe.

Where here any differences to a UK spec' car?

I'm sure they're very capable cars but they just look so dull.

Sick of hearing all this "coupe" bollox

I've been banging this drum for years but it doesn't sink in! I guess coupe just sounds cool.

What on earth would you hope to get for even double that amount ??

£26.5K would buy quite a lot I would think. Looks great though.

Thought you meant for the forum, I was gonna say the end has long been and gone, there’s only 5 or 6 regulars left on here now isn’t there

That was my first thought too.

Hmm, multi-fit alpina reps, DTM backbox, gaffer tape around the sunroof, and that's just a cursory glance. No thanks.

It's one of the red caps.

One of the bulbs in my check control panel has died, can someone tell me the name of these things for a replacement?

I don't ever use my AC for this reason. I can't say I've ever struggled to climb a hill but the power loss is noticeable. That coupled with the overly raised idle just makes it a pain. I guess it's fairly primitive technology.

The second pic could be the connector for an OBC 'gong' , the first may be for the airco' idle control, but not sure on either! Definitely nothing to do with headlight leveling system.

/\ This is how to build your post count /\

It goes up by posts. There are no prizes though.

Being an import you avoid those nasty US style bumpers - result!

Not a fan of the wheels but the rest looks great!

No thoughts on the rack but your grass needs cutting.

Also a preview of something in the pipeline, my M-Tech 2 tailgate spoiler had seen better days distorted by internal corrosion of the metal base frame , I did try a Lithuanian version but it was very poor quality and didn't fit properly as the lip was too big and fouled the roof, so I sanded my ori...

Renown wheels out of the USA?

https://www.renownusa.com/category/steering-wheels

Quite like the first two.

Nardi steering wheels were quite popular, no idea of the cost compared to oem stuff though.

Looking good, I really like that colour!

It looks ok but not half as good as he's trying to convince us.

Great thread, well worth the time it takes for all the pictures to load! You've unearthed some interesting parts from the ETK too.

I'm a fan of the last method, undo everything including subframe and suspension and then raise the car.

It's not the best place to find rust! I think I'm right in saying that the fuse box will have to be removed, which involves stripping the entire interior and removing the in-car loom.

You need to tread carefully with after-market back boxes. Quality and fitment can be suspect, as can the noise, and any claims of power gains should be taken with a pinch of salt. If you're after a tried and tested chav cannon then Scorpion is probably the way to go.

Hard to tell from the picture but it's more than like to do with emissions. If your car is fitted with a cat' then this would plug in under the throttle body and go to a charcoal canister bolted to the inner strut tower. If the car has no cat' then it just dangles free. Probably nothing to do with y...
