It's illegal because if you run without a bonnet it's easier to munch pedestrians when you peruse the pavement.

it is illegal because when you're racing, the forced intake of cold air all over the block, causes an increase of 7265bhp, which is clearly too much for the road.

Woh there fella's.  This has all come from a trial fit,  I need to take a step back and remind myself of what i'm doing.  I'm not even rolling with the front end i've just done.  I wouldn't worry too much about driving without a bonnet, I would never consider it.

However, saying all that I can see what my future options are... I just don't think I could ever be happy with a golf sporting square headlights.....

Yeah I know... Just wasn't expecting so much attention over the bonnet... I certainly wasn't expect suggestions of how to change the rest of the car already.  :grin:

Box arches... lets say next year.

In other news.. A friend at work told me he has a Gas anyliser, I have borrowed it off him to see if i can set the engine up myself.


At the momement she's running a bit rich and wont settle below 1200-1300 RPM.  Also keen to see what the CO2 is like before the MOT.

Got to agree about the square headlights.
Not sure if you have seen this Shaun........this is one of the first pictures that I took of my Mk1 when I purchased it in 2002:-



I think that is the only picture that I have with the Kameii grill and headlight kit fitted.........it didn't stay on long as I seriously did not like it. I've still got it all in my shed of parts :smiley:

I forgot about that till now!... think I saw that once many years ago!.... you wanna let go of it and sell it to me for a fair price (i'm poor).  Might be worth a try at a later date..  :lipsrsealed:

Just found a couple more pics. These were taken by the previous owner in August 2000:-
