I have uploaded the pics to some space of mine and edited your post to point at those as the other ones werent working due to remote linking of pictures on another server.

rick you need to trim back all the metal of the old mount cause the pvd one is designed to bolt onto a bare leg

[Rick Draper]

I thought you sold it?

[Rick Draper]

I thought you sold it?

Nar it would have pained me far to much to do that!

Ste he is taking the right amount off the plate when Rob finally drops my F28 mount and your spare block off on Saturday morning. Then he is going to decide what to do with the shit left over from the old gearbox mount, probably remove the whole plate, take the old metal work off then fabricate a one off plate for it.

Need to decide what to do with my wheels as well. Polished or Anthracite?

[Tilly]

white are nice.

But i think polished

[Ben (lurk75)]

Just goes to show everyone has different tastes.

(i like them in white)

[Jim]

I know little about Turbo conversions,but I assume the Intercooler is staying on display at the front? If so, some polished Alloys to match the shade of the Intercooler would look good.

Warp Tssshhh (new set of tyres for Mr. Draper please) ;) :P

I like both anthracite and polished.. But i'll be going for polished on my speedlines i recon...

Get the 'spokes' in anthracite, but the rest of it polished. Or vice versa.
