mk1 project W.I.P

[big gra]

right, just bough this tidy mk1 with 20,000 genuine miles in the clock, decided to make this one show standard, or as close to, want it to be spotless. well here it is, first plans are to get rid of the chavvy exhaust, boot, wheels and mirrors! any ideas!!!! :thumb:

Very nice indeed.
Needs Mk1 bumpers asap.
The side vinyl would look cool too.

[muzzy]

Nice looking car that :roll:

I would put the original tailgate on, original grill and a mk1 SR spoiler, obviously take the exhaust and mudflaps off too

[Dave.]

that looks like a fookin mint shell graham.

get some sr bumpers on some nice silver alloys and a mk2 dash :thumb:

also i think ive got some clear mk1 front indicators and a grey grill somewhere.. not sure though

[Dave.]

is it polar or glacier? theres a white mk1 at my scrappy mate.. might have a boot on for you?

[Stanley]

I kinda the like the MK1/MK2 mix going on there.

I agree though, lose the mudflaps and exhaust for more palettable items and your onto a winner!

Even mount the rear Reg.plate properly and itl look tonnes better!

[Dave.]

[carls nova sri]

[Adam]

Git, where have those white cesaros come from :p
Looking cool, mk1 bumpers are still required. The mk2 ones just dont look right imo.

[big gra]

geting mirrors tonight hopefuly, and then searching for bumpers!!!

[big gra]

unfortunatly had a little misshap in a multi-story car park, the post had just been painted and i ended up with most of the paint, should t-cut off, spraying the bumpers white tonight, looking for some mk1 ones really!!

http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g201/biggra/131020070021.jpg

mk1 bumpers needed, pm me!!

[muzzy]

looks smart, i personally thought it looked better with black wheels though

[big gra]

i liked the black wheels but im goin all white, bumpers and mirrors aswel!!

[muzzy]

mirrors definetly need changed lol

will look much better once theres some mk1 bumpers on there too, looks really weird with mk2

[Stanley]

MK1's with cesaros are rather sexual

Looking good lad

[DTR-DEVIL]

IMO i think the Black Spoiler looked better! Love the wheels thought! How much u pay for it?

[Steve]

Looks nice mate, PM is on its way!!

Also might have a set of mirrors as well, but they'll need painting.

[P Whack]

By your friend? u mean mark? lol not gonna be as good as mine when its finished though lol

[125scouse]
