Tru, and the roof, although it was siliconed to hell. You could go thru a carwash with it tho, and it wouldn't leak. Might wanna consider trying to get your mits on some new injectors, the ones that were in it were on their last legs and really noisey.

yep, it hurts to listen to 8O nice to see your new boot lid tho, I never did figure out how those 2 marks from the hinges dented the boot lid up from the underside. Obviously there was the huge mark where the spoiler was on it.

Need to hit the rear wheel arches 2 mate, if an MOT test wanted to be an arse, they are a little too close to a suspension component. :evil: WHat kit are you planning for it, tech 1 or tech 2?

White would be outstanding, but hard to keep clean. Beige might look a bit odd, but would be maintainable and match the interior. U 2 fussed about the numberplates being in the pics or shall i edit them out?
