 They see me rollin'.... they hatin'.... ;D I wasn't too sure but my mum thinks it looks "FANTASTIC" and "like a proper car" as a direct result of these two bits of fan-tastic 80's tat.  What do ya reckon? I'm not sure but I do like the louvres  The car also now has a proper black interior - with gearshift gaiter, proper floor mats, the works - flash makes it look much dirtier than it is!  To the BLACKMOBILE!  |

Loving the louvres, alas the spoiler is a bit tat-ish for me. But meh.

Not sure about the spoiler but I don't think you can have one without the other if you know what I mean.

louvres only look right on about .0001% of cars. Oddly enough they seem to do the job on the Dolly. Now if you'd said "louvres on a Dolly" I'd have thought you were mad. But they look good.

Russel - the louvres are "autoplas" I think, the spoiler is "Formuling" (who? Has anyone heard of them before?). I've only ever seen one rear spoiler like this, the louvres once before. I got 'em off the bay, I don't think you can buy them any more? If I see another set I'll shout, or if I choose not to use them you'll get first dibs - 'coz I'll be selling the 1500 now anyway so not sure if they'll look any good on the '8 Sprintparts still do their tail spoiler, it's about 30 quid minus shipping, I think  www.sprintparts.triumphowners.com/products.cgi?sectionID=480039&articleID=480066Price is in Austrailian dollars |

Not sure about em on the Dolly, but my eyes can be trained once am used to it!

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts |

3 at the moment, The V8, the 1500 and the joint project with my dad (also running on 8 ;D). But that's the only detail about that you'll get, it's a secret, f'shizzle ;D
OT - Yes, 1500 is T&T'd, tax'd till March I think, MOT till late Feb. Can't seeing it needing much, it drives lovely - only a few minor issues, really. All electrics work, yada yada, few bits of wodge in it, sometimes creaks when you turn right, bout it really ;D

They look sooooo wrong on a Crapi though. Even the rubber OE spoilers are touch and go IMO.

Never do white! :x or do, just to be different!    not into the side ones much. I seem to be going off Louvres a bit, not sure if thats good or bad!  I guess it came from rear-engined cars, engine covers etc, so has always been a bit fake, or 'barry'! so kind of works in an Ironic way. |
