I've got some which I never fitted to my Trophy Blue so don't think I'll be fitting them to my silver one.

Car is spotless
and a few suprises like the exhaust, springs and the oem CD multi changer and air con :)

Looks like a bargain :)

Green springs are likely to be the eibach (also known as x-power) upgrade. No longer available and highly sought after.

Lucky on the springs there!

That metal sheet doesn't look like it's any good for rad airflow lol

Clean and tidy looking.

I'd be out there removing that metal panel now before arranging an enclosed filter or a inner wing filter.

My mk1 had a traker fitted, I found it when I scrapped it, I was only the second owner, I got no paperwork for mine. It was hidden behind the panelling in the boot.

So a little update on this (photos to follow)

Since my last update she has had a new inlet manifold fitted.
Developed a leaky oil cooler (replacement on order)

Ive also purchased a better innerwing induction system, catch catch and some silicone hoses.

Along with a new bumper, headlights and a few other bits and bobs, these are currently being referbished and are almost ready for paint. so big updates coming on this.

that's all for now,

Get that sorted ASAP, they have been known to fail dramatically and dumping all the oil very very quickly.

Quality. How much did the manifold set you back?

Was going to get mine done (bought one on ebay a while ago) just took it out of storage and the two clips at the back have perished and snapped off. ******.

A little update from the weekend!

Bumpers just ready for sanding,

will get getting it painted in the next couple of weeks.

I like how the Mk2 bumper merges with the MK1 kit.

Undecided if I should leave it like this or add the front bumper spats and wings etc.

What do you think?

Dan1971
06-06-16, 01:25 PM
Personally - I'd leave it as is.

Lets face it the spats will be costly, will likely just fall off and then you'll just have a Mk2 180. You'd lose the wheels under the spats so may need spacers.

As it is - it's unique - Probably.

I have the spats and the wings, but its how far back do you go... I like how the bumper merges with the Mk1 side skirts etc.

Just need to sort out headlight wiring.

Or fit mk2 wheels...

TBH I'm with Dan and say leave it as.

Then it should be fine under the spats but I still wouldn't.
