cheers all,
bit of a update just been messing round with a few bits, car has been mapped at grperformance in rotherham where it made 365/333 while it was there gaz moved the battery to the boot so we could run a intercooler pipe up the enginebay as the hdi one was scraping the floor especially over spped bumps plus i put the new steering wheel in and made the horn work propperly.Cant fault gaz from GRPerformance he's a top dude

Looks really tidy, I'm toying with removing the ABS as I cannot get the RCM cone to fit that snug - I presume the profile of the bug bonnet doesn't help. Liking the battery relocation idea too

bit of a update, i have retinted rachs windows after the previous job someone did had started to turn purple inside and the film had started to breakdown,
next was a pair of harnes's
next up was a trackday at blyton where the car ran faultless all day
then once back it was all cleaned and back in its home
thanks craig

Looks like not a bad match, I'm interested in how the battery connections are made under the bonnet now you've relocated the battery as I'm thinking about pulling together the bits for a relocation kit

Looks awesome Rach - inspirational that, looks individual without looking over the top.
What size are the wheels? Second thing, who makes the mirrors, and do they retain the standard electrics?

Cool - I'd seen those mirrors fitted to bugs before, but not a blob until I saw your pics. I'd want some electric ones though.
Shame they're 18's, as they look good, lol!! Trying to convince myself to stick with 17's & std ride height, but keep seeing good looking blob's on 18's which isn't helping!!
