Is that a 3/4 plate? when I put my Turini's back on we will literally have the same car. We have all the same mods apart from the Trophy spoiler and a few little things.

Also, do you have a photo of your dial surround with the sidelights on? I fancy a change...

Yeah, had it on about a month now! lol car fwieeeeends!

The photo on the previous page where I hit 50k miles has sidelights on, although I'll get a better one at night!

Haha (don't forget the thumbs up)

Oh yeah sorry mate, I must've missed that. I just wanted to be sure it wasn't toooo orange with the sidelights on lol. Fancy doing the interior like yours and like how the 172 cups came as standard

Lots of tiny little details here and there! Yes, has been on about a month now

I need to stop spending on the car for a bit now, so just a few little bits for the next six months. I want a snappy wheel, 197 RS logo/badge, new bolts to tidy the engine bay up and to respray my old engine cover back to it's former glory!

I improvised, they're not proper covers!

The headlight grommets from the halogen headlights are a perfect fit, here is a better photo

Ah ok. Well there a better design that the MAD ones which score when turning :

I did read on here that someone found some off another car (Citroen or Peugeot rings a bell) that was a perfect fit and i thought you had the same.

I was planning on getting them ones, kind of glad I haven't now if that's the case!

Happy with mine though, sprayed some trim stuff on them and they look like new!

 

[Jekyll]

DO NOT get the MAD ones!!

I speak from having 2 sets. Keep yourself rubber'd up

Haven't had chance to update this properly for a while. Anyway, Recaro fitting time

Haha, yeah quite a big change. There's actually a lot in between as it went turbo, and then back to N/A before being boosted again. Currently considering going back to N/A ?

Cheers mate!

Why you thinking of going back to n/a mate?

 

[ThomasBrentnall]

A few reasons really, I'm doing my trailer license in the next month or so - and I'll only being trailering it to track days instead of driving it - so it makes sense to free up some cash out of the car to put towards the trailer.

Also, I think boost is incredible on the road, really brings these little cars alive, however I just think I prefer N/A on track in all honesty. For sale post now live on the FB group
