Time for abit of an update been so slack on this thread! Been my daily for a while now and had no problems at all. Made up my own custom exhaust which runs under the axle, quite proud as it doesn't knock or anything! Bought a Clio and have ripped the engine out, now going to strip the engine down rebuild it and put some goodies on it! Put a saloon spoiler on the boot. Just got to work out everything I need for the engine swap now, I want to have everything ready so one weekend in the new year I can just get it done. Don't want to do it stages. May fit a hydro, don't worry my interior will stay in its my daily. Here are the pics;

Looking really nice, cant help but think the minilites look a tad small - might just be me.

Still, lovely car, will be fun once the valver's in

Cheers for the comments guys!
The saloon spoiler at some angles I hate! It's like too much is going on at the back! But other angles it looks wicked.
Same with the wheels, pictures they look a tad small and that's what I was worried about before I got them, but in the flesh they look wicked and they make it very low which I like. But if everything goes to plan I should be taking the saloon spoiler of soon ;)
Ill try and keep on top of this thread now and may need some help off you valver boys!

Alexander, the "spoiler" is from a 340/360 saloon.

This to me:

is more like a rear wing. At least in English English. American English is a completely different language again.

Unless it's an age thing. :?

I've always thought English English is "spoiler" American English is "rear wing"

I'll take your word for it Chris. Well we'll have to make a big glossary of car parts here so we don't get confused.
