Like Daz said mate, if you have the 130 engine you only getting 6 BHP more and its not much for the money and effort, then again if you have the 105 or the 115 like me it well worth it !!!

What did you use mate ??? I find PF61 diluted 4-1 works well with a dish cloth, I know its not to be used on alloys that are loosing paint but my mate always said the if you work quick and rinse its fine !!! Not got any left now and I don't know anyone in the trade any more lol !!!

Looks great mate, well worth the 10,000 EUROs !!! The Police in the UK hate us tuning our cars too !!! :icon_cry:

WOW, looks like a different car mate, all them shiney new panels, looks great, the transformation continues !!!

Cheers for that mate, I have saved all that in my notepad for future reference, i'll see what you say once you have done it !!!

Good advice bud but this is an old topic the cab has sadly gone !!! :icon_salut_gb:

It should go on the same as the Tin-Top version mate, the Peeps at Halfords should sort you out, get a Ski Rack and mount it on that !!!

Nice one mate, not the best of angles to work at either but great work mate !!! :clap: Like you said, it will do for now, can always do a winter strip-down and re-build then get it all resprayed next year, have a word with Brutus mate as i'm sure he will help you get the kit off and then put it back on and re-flush it again !!!
