Reflection shot is outrageous.

That well in the alloys seems ridiculous! Why would you do build that in?!

Yeah I know! Everytime I see a hairdressers car MX5 I look to see if it's you :grin:

Update time! Everyone loves pictures right? Even if they are just from a phone :rolleyes:

Tidied up a few bits and pieces before Elsecar that I'd been meaning to do for a while. Firstly I sorted the LEDs in the boot that were thrown in temporarily about 6 months ago:



I ditched the electrical tape in favour of cable clips and refitted the perspex that fell out a while back.

Sprayed and fitted a delock kit (which needs redoing as the colour match is rubbish)



Arch is getting flaky from an accidental airing out incident :facepalm



Set up at Elsecar:



And finally another trip to OCD:



This time for new tie rods and to replace a leaky driveshaft seal.

Are those tyres not a little "too" stretched?  :shocked:

This is looking really smart mate, would like to see it with a chrome vw badge on the front but otherwise perfect mk4!

I thought I'd try my 15mm spacers on the front to see how it sat. Offside sits pretty well:



Nearside is sitting sh!t, I need to roll the arch some more but I might even need to use a 10mm spacer.
