I've been transfering all the bits off my old sport on to the pina. Only got the smkoed hella xenons left to put on and my hartge roll bars
What i have done is

H&R 60/40 cupkit springs
smoked indicators and side repeaters
black grill (not too sure on this)
quicksilver exhaust
CD player in and working
sparco Strut brace.
plus the enormous list of little bits i'm slowly getting through

That looks sweet!

The rear sits higher than on your sport from memory. It sits alot nicer.

I wonder why this is. Or is it just a visual thing without the Mtec kit??

Thought as much, My dad was in the Army when I was 5 years old! Thats why I asked where it was.......

But the more photo's you take, the more I recognize the place.....Brings back good memory's.

Lookin' good Simon :thumb:

Did you paint all the calipers red or did they come like that from WLN?

I'm on a 60/40 drop with my cab now and once in a while I know about it when I hear the scrapes from the exhaust :eek:

See you at Ace.
