here's a nice pic I took of it at the Ace, now with RFX wheels on which I think are an improvement on the 280 wheels although I'm not sure. Image

Mk3 1.6LS Now 2.0lt powered 4 speed rocket box. Work in progress daily driver.

So were the rims off the race car?

Post by Matty28i »

I'd spotted the subtle difference, since Mk.

Also has the bonnet bulge been lowered slightly?

Car is looking good Simon.

Nope...

they're 7x15's where as the race car uses 8x15 & 9x16's. The only thing I've taken off the race car is the RS 4-spoke steering wheel.

Bonnet bulge still the same, still not sure what I want to do with it. Very tempted to put a standard bonnet back on and get rid of the air filter as I'm sure I'll blow the engine up before I wear the bores out :)

..I like that slightly taller bulge, subtle, but mean looking. If ou do decide to change back, give me a shout :)
