Re: UK Sam's 1.6 Turbo MX-3 project
grill meshing the hole was a mare!
so instead the siliocon tubing has gone
around the bumper and new grill mesh
is being bought to go behind and fixed
to the back of the bumper.
in the meantime have started work
on a wind splitter made from 5mm plastic
also need to get a drivers side headlight
as mine has a crack, before I fit this lot up.
few more weeks waiting yet!

Your doing a great job. I look forward to seeing it on the car.
We all want to be fast and look cool. Cool changes but fast never does.

Re: UK Sam's 1.6 Turbo MX-3 project
How about a custom headlamp with an airduct to complete the look?

Re: UK Sam's 1.6 Turbo MX-3 project
test fitted up my 25mm spacers.
located with 54.1 > 67.1 spigot ring
Too wide on the front without loads of negy camber
just inside with negy camber
going to have to arch roll or turn the spacers down a bit...to pass MOT laws
Rears are in, just!
wheels are 15 x 7 et35 195/50/15's btw
Took the fronts back off till I decide what to do with 'em
p.s. and please no spacer bashing I know the deal
