Before



After





New speakers fitted on modified spacers.



Service sticker I made.



And rubber strap fitted to oil cap.

the glorious Compound Valve angle Hemispherical combustion chambered 1.6lt lump... my second car was a red MK3 which after my Mini 850 seems like a technological marvel

Like the way this has come on - I 'get it' now :bigthumb:

lol......cheers mate, takes a while to get my ideas.

New head unit fitted and working.



Rear spoiler painted satin black.

Re-sprayed the spoiler and mirrors. As I wasn't happy with the semi gloss finish. This satin black is actually satin black lol

Isn't the spoiler a quishy foam materials?

Yeah, but it's a series 1 Rs turbo spoiler.......so has a hard shell, so should look better for longer.

Front pads, discs and braided lines fitted. Haven't painted anything yet, as I need to replace the piston seals on the calipers.

Replacement dealer plates.
