ive been looking at either a chrome one or a carbon fibre one, but waiting to see if one comes up for less that £15. last time i painted a oil cap it blistered up, must be the heat from inside the engine.

just edited it, 125 was always a estimate, never rolling roaded it.
there were a few other bits, i had an uprated coil thingy, quad core ignition leads, oil breather.
this was my favourite car..... only changed it as the missus was expecting and i needed a bigger car.... that had some rear seats!
