Been hard at it this winter getting it ready for summer but finally finished.
New michelin ps4 allround.
New oem front disks and pads.
Lemforder control arms front and rear.
Gearbox oil and filter change.
Full service, plugs, filters and oil.
Powder coated all wheels as they were looking dull.
Clay barred top to bottom, DA polished and finished off with gyeon can coat.

If it wasn't for this site and some very helpful people I would probably have sold it on by now but very happy bunny at the moment....hope I haven't spoke to soon.

Looks well, that's a great stance you have there.

What a beauty!! Credit to you mate and I 2nd that for the guys on here

Yup, that’s looking very nice indeed.

Think it would look even better with the usual silver rings on the grill.

Does the plus not come with black rings ?
This is Philt's old car so blame him...only kidding.

Nope.

Thanks Shopp, need to have a think about that, grown quite fond of the look tbh. Might just buy some and see how it looks

Looks good . Photos probably don't do it justice - reckon it looks even better in real life.

Does look nice. As for the rings.... Either go black front and back or silver front and back, not a mix of both. But it's only an opinion, and we are all different !

Love the black optics, thinking more and more often on getting my silver bits wrapped......

Glad you said that, didn't even realise front and back was different lol.
Where would one source the rings, had a look on Ebay but most are black funny enough.
Car looks brilliant in real life, usual stone chips on front and back arches had a quote for £600 to do full bottom of the car up to the door line (handle height) but not to sure if it would match.

Spoke to soon, just back from a run and got coolant leak, looks like left hand side of engine but can't be sure till I take the bottom cover off, guessing it's the bufkin pipe is that a straight forward fix I can do myself and where is the best place to purchase one ?

Just done a search on here looks like a bastardo of a job.

If you need to do the buffkin and need a 2 post lift give me a shout, as got one at the house.

theres a bufkin pipe on ebay at the moment mate the item number is 323772067343 i did mine when the engine was out so was fairly easy.

Thanks Gripper/Jayjay, haven't had a chance to get the covers off and had a look. Topped the coolant up then drove back home last night about 30 miles and now no sign of a leak...any idea?
