I’d eat my dinner off that. Great work on this Vinnie.

How’s the exhaust sounding?

[VV54]

We got the front end stripped now, just waiting for parts to arrive, front brake lines 1st job after a good clean up.

 

[Scooblitz]

Hope the postman has arrived with boxes full of goodies.

Is the car a TU spec model by any chance? As it’s a T reg, I’m assuming it will be and if so, thinking of doing an intake manifold swap?

 

[VV54]

It is a TU but we’re not bothering with the manifold swap

 

[VV54]

Coming along nicely

vv54 is that a Black or Gun Metal grey wheels and how does it match up with the Boston Green paint? Pics much appreciated once they are on.

 

[VV54]

Wheels are grey, as soon as the cills are back from paint I’ll put them on the car and add photos, I think they look good with the green car

Thanks my daughter wants black on her Boston Green but I’m not convinced….

Iain these things are definitely an each to their own kinda thing as we all like different things personally especially with gloss black i always think makes tyres look grey . Anthracite can look nice on the right body colour.
Diamond cut with black can look nice on the right style of wheel but requires maintenance to keep that way.
Colours like purple, blue etc is way to honda civic, vw caddy sideways toting baseball caps and finally good old silver comes in a multitude of shades and finishes if nothing else cant go wrong whatever body colour but thats just my preference .

Stephen.

Looks nice and was considering earlier in my ownership of my ///M but grown to love the hyper silver against the black body work, just got to find some where in Oxfordshire who is able to replicate this.

 

[VV54]

Big thank you to Andy @spurs fan in a coupe for supplying radiator fan switch connector as mine was broken had to get a new radiator because the old one had a split in the top and was leaking fluid

 

[VV54]

Finally all back together, new transports fitted out for a shake down run tomorrow to the Peak District ready for Scotland run.
