I’ve only had the car since late August so not had a summer in it yet but I never imagined I’d be driving with the roof down as often as I have done over the winter! The car is lowered at the front but not the rear and it’s a pain getting in the drive, would there be any benefit for someone to have done this or is it more likely they’ve just used the wrong parts? Im also looking to get both bumpers painted and the wheels done in a darker colour, would like black but I’ve not convinced myself on that one yet. Clutch is also heavier than I’d like but my indy says there plenty life in it yet although I still think I’m going to get him to change it sooner than he recommends. Me personally. I like silver wheels Against a black car anything “dark” will get lost. same with grills. i think black needs highlights not low lights so I would be looking for more things (mirror lowers) to be a lighter colour But all personal taste. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's got 2023 calendar written all over it, if the source file is good enough for the printing. @Malcolm E Box 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fewtrees Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 A spin into the peaks.. With a fast road setup this thing sticks to the road like glue. Shame other drivers get upset when you’re not even pushing it.. Had my first encounter with a peloton of cycles in the middle of the road. New rules or not, ideology is gonna get them killed..

earley231186 Posted January 31, 2022 Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 Removed the Toyosport Exhaust after 3 days of use. It was too much for me daily driving. Replaced the AC switches with new ones. Give her a good washing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would've preferred silver wheels to mine.

iborguk Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 First wash of the car with the new roof on. I found myself surprised that a new OE roof "beads", I'd always assumed that was a third-party thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
