Since added a spoiler and louves, havent got bonnet sprayed as yet but all in good time. The bonnet vents may not be to peoples liking but **** ya, they work and thats what there there for. And work well they do.

Try it, 5 min job. I like it, but then this is for road use. When i go to a track it might be a different story and require the roll bars.
Bonnet cost ?106.

I have never had one an anti roll bar on mine,and im sure most the guys that iether run xe's on or of track dont use them iether,and as long as you have a front brace and/or if your running cage it should be fine.
Scott
never had an ARB or strut brcaes and never had any probs!
Ill be using a brace on the LET though!
i think the bonnet vents look great, its nice to see something different :thumb:

Im not a fan of the middle bonnet vent or the tints, the outer vents look cool tho, very nice car indeed.
If it were mine i'd have the grill sprayed car colour, and spray the mesh black.
Very tidy tho, good to see something a bit different with it on bike carbs.
very nice mate! bit of a break from the norm!

I would of said it wouldnt sit right, coloured grill on top of the black bumper.
And yeah, tint do look too heavy but they aint. Plus people dont need to see how ugly i amlol The middle vent look too far down the bonnet at times but it works. So who gives a ****. Also it nice looking out onto them from the drivers seat.
Damn nice mate loved the feature in TV lookin very sexy:thumb: :thumb:

04-01-07, 12:25 PM
We've all got a bit of chav in there somewhere. Plus it more for the coppers benefit. Used to get pulled over all the time in it when she was white. Turns out were it was de-badged they didnt know what it was, plus the fact it was a saloon, they had never seen one.
Just had another look at the pics, have you got pillar trims from a hatch fitted in there?
Saloony

Nah, the interior plastic trim that sits up the inside of the A, B & C pillars that is found on the Mk2s. Just thought it looked like you had them on the A pillars from the front view.

Sorry mate with ya now. No its not. I had a full headlining made which comes down the pillars too. Which inturn covers all the seat belt holes. Cunning.
Its a Fiat colour me-old-fruit.

fantastic! Cant help thinking that it needs a mk2 saloon rear, and mk2 front bumper
Saloony
06-01-07, 01:58 PM
It did back in the day. But took the retro route. As it stands i have the option late on in life (if i get bored of the look) is changing it all, its basicly a blank canvass.
Saloony
06-03-07, 05:33 PM
Havent got any new photos as yet but next on the list of things to do are,
- Fit epas
- Fit a nice strut brace
- Custom made washer bottle
- Custom brake ressie
- Chrome cambelt cover
- Do a bit of adjustment on n/s/f chassis rail (got a bit bent year ago and is holding the suspension arm, so inturn holding it up)
- (after the above) custom make a lower brace for between the two rails.
Thats all i can think of at the mo.

Saloony
31-05-07, 01:34 PM

That would be telling. All the stuff that have been made are one off prototypes so get a little discount, they're all made from stainless steel, which is nice. Ill pm you his details and you can speak to him, he'll create whatever you want, so you not limited to styles and doesnt look mass produced.
Cheers fellas, good to get some excellent comments on my old bone. Next year its being painted again, properly cos im just not happy with it as it is.
See ya at PV Chunny and others.
will do bud but on the pvg site with the omega as not bringing the stick along

It had the lovres punched in it after the paint job, the imperfections are from where they heat it up to prevent the metal cracking.
