..... awww cr*p I have forgotton!

Anyway, typhoon went yesterday, decided that although yes its great to have a monogram it was a bit tatty and I just got bored with it. So put it up for swap!

So yesterday a nice chap came over (said chap I got the black alcantaras from) and he was happy to do a straight swap for his mk2 180!

Few points need addressing but over all the car is in really good condition and has been totally undersealed underneath, 65k on the clock and best of all he didn't want to keep the seats so they are now back in the car they came out of the factory with :)

Points that need sorting:
Exhaust looks like its off a mk1 saloon, Its a scorpion one so swapped it with the xpower one I have as preferred the tip, just need to give it an extra 10-15mm.
Headlights are grey R45 ones but have a set of ZS ones ready to go.
Both rear handles are a little loose, one side isn't even right, possibly off a CR-V or something like that.
Front bumper needs a full respray, it is peppered with stone chips.

Other than that just a tiny bit of tidying up here and there but otherwise a sound car and also the belts were done recently :)

Looks nice :) you ever thought about trying something different though? All this chopping and changing for essentially the same car all the time seems like a lot of effort for little (if any) gain.
Not a criticism, I'm sure you have your reasons, I just simply couldn't be bothered! :)

I've had other cars, nothing compares to a 180!

Although this time it's more for the missus so she can get rid of her ZR.

Few with black alcantara that I've noticed now. It's the real deal though, not dyed.

Yeah but they will be black black, these are more charcoal, or almost black but not quite.

I've seen a few zt's with the real deal black

The material has been dyed at some point, before manufacturing or after.
