Re: 1986 340(Leo test fit)
I like it!
My Leos (on the 343) need a refurb, and I'm torn between white (as on the R-Sports) and the current black centre with silver dish. I was going to paint them white last year, but never got around to it. I'm thinking of doing it now...
cheers

Re: 1986 340(Leo test fit)
James, If your toying with going black and silver lip and dont have any bad curb marks then have ago using nitromors, When i used it on mine it took it right back to the bare metal with (minimal effort) which looked prime for polishing which i think would look awesome with a black center.

Re: 1986 340(Leo test fit)
Well bit of a small update really, just been experimenting a bit with the car, nothing serious.
Firstly i finally got a horn push for my wheel, so no more air horn in passenger foot well

Also sprayed the bonnet black because it had gone pinky/white in places, not to sure on it really may do it again in satin black

Oh and had a fiddle with the grill, wanna get a mk2 grill as i think they look really good, if they fit mk3's




Cheers Dan

Re: 1986 340(Tiny Update)
wheel and bonnet look really cool Dan.

love the hornpush!
looks like a propper emergency panic button.

Re: 1986 340(Leo test fit)
they "fit" but look like shit on a mark 3. the lineplay of the front just doesn't work with a mk2 grille on.. and the front of the grille "overlaps" the front bumper..Bazboy wrote:Oh and had a fiddle with the grill, wanna get a mk2 grill as i think they look really good, if they fit mk3's
Re: 1986 340(Leo test fit)

Re: 1986 340(Tiny Update)
the problem is the heigt of the grille. funny thing is, that a mk3 grille on a mk2 car fits aswell and doesn't look bad at all..
nice progress by the way, like the black bonnet makes the car badass (that's why i painted mine black too
)
