Thanks for the comments everyone,I'm glad the bumpers are approved of :)
nova_tek: it's an off the shelf full magnex s/s system for a 1.3sr,I don't think you can still buy them new though,I bought mine off a memeber on here who bought it years ago but never used it!
Yeah, Magnex no longer make nova exhausts.
Yep i completely agree now Adam those GTE bumpers look hard a fook and this pic gives me the horn!Quote:

Never knew the 1.3SR magnex system was suitable for a XE.
Yup!Quote:

Nova-Tek- Magnex systems are 2" bore, which is what xe's have as standard..
Was just about to say 2" is the least i would use on an XE (standard anyway)
Looks bang on mate, though im not ready to ditch my all in one's on the mk1 yet! lol

Very nice, really like the colour of the bumpers.
Hat off - looks ace!!
Looks awesome, great result on the bumpers.
Those bumpers look to be in standard colour which actually looks cool and looks very clean.
Love it long time....
But, theres always a but with me, the spoiler needs to be red.
Think there could be a GSi spoiler in the pipeline.

Not that I'm styling my car around his,but have a look at karl rowntrees car regarding the spoiler dude,I'm sure he has a gsi spoiler on his mk1 iirc and that's an awesome looking car ;)Quote:

Update on todays and yesterdays mincing,
Ages ago i bought some bottom ball joints and track rod ends, i fitted the bottom ball joints but never got round to fitting the track rod ends, after i had the exhaust fitted on my car and lowered it to were i want it the tracking was way out so i thought it was about time to whip off the old track rods and fit the new ones, counting the number of turns etc when i fit them:

Old track rod:

New one fitted: (both sides are the same so only took pics of one side:

Also received my clear front indicators off auzzy2000 ages ago but never got round to fitting so i chucked them on too:
Old amber ones:
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...7/SDC11120.jpg
New clear ones, i think they tidy up the front loads to be honest:

Also while i was outside i thought that i would finish off the interior, putting on the undertrays, tape up all the wiring under the dash and also mount the ecu on the under tray and fit the side board sill things and generally have a good tidy up there as it had 12 mounths of crap on it, sooo the end result is:
