 Painted bumpers black  Had a big dent by the lights so bashed it out, tried painting with the 'correct' White but didn't match, Iv seen someone paint it matt black so gave it a go, not sure tho  Fitted these too |

Well, I'm pretty sure it works   In a way it makes the car looks wider and you hide the ugly nipples. |

Yeah, I'm with EB on that, looks good to me (BITD Vauxhall and Ford used to designate their higher spec models by painting the section between the rear lights satin black)

Picked these up yesterday. £73 from eBay!! Only tested with one on as I wanna sandblast them as the lacquer has started to peel a bit    Issues I have: Needs more lowering, so need a new car park place lol Arches need rolling, anyone in the Luton area does this? I have camber on front, how do I get it on the back? |

Nice upgrade!
Swiftmini showed how you can get camber on the rear axle. Basically cut and reweld the axle.

looking good matey, though sell the fuel regulator When I put cbr600 carbs on mine I used one, but they're not needed. The standard mechanical fuel pump provides the right pressure ;D Also got a spare reground cam here if you want it, £50 posted. |

Il be interested in the cam mate but it would have to be next month tho what type of fuel pump have you got? iirc mines got the return from the pump and not the original carb. Either that or my carbs have awesome seals or the fuel pump is knackered ;D Ill take it out of the 1.2 engine its still in and take some picutres, irrc there are some extra markings on it. |

Took hours but worth it Cheap Superlites are cheap for reason, all laqer has blistered, so used nitromors to get it off  Left lip a bit dull  £16 polishing kit and a lot of time later.....    Well pleased with results, better shine than originals for 1/4 off the price |

Next things on the list are: roll arches, aluminium door cards, Pre facelift front end...........maybe be brave and attempt my first ever engine swap, 1.3 16v from a k11 micra :s.
