even if you just matt blacked it on the cheap it would look infinetely better, new badged boot as it looks better and headlights all round, new bonnet couldn't be too much to sort, i reckon 1500 on cosmetics and this would be an insane car.

Yeah everybody does 1.8t conversions for fuel economy  :whistle:

Course it's been ragged. Blowing the cobwebs out keeps the engine in good working order
