Hit the nail on the head Matt!!
At least this one is the correct porto colour and just one shade of it!!!
At least i'll know the turbo is decent now anyway.

LOL hadn't noticed the broom handle!!
the struts work fine too!!
just been round to see how it's going, so far:
new wheel bearing on
new driveshaft seal on
spare downpipe on
spare intercooler on
spare lambda on
replaced the last three for my spare ones as the other where full of oil and the downpipe was cracked
just waiting on the turbo now!!

Is the plug cover polished of black? its kind of hard to tell via the photos with the light as it is?

if black or polished, have you thought about changing the letter colouring as well?

Brave choice with the colour, A few more items color coded the same color and I think it should look nice thumb

It's chrome Sam but doesn't look it in the pics.
Going to sand off the paint on the lettering and polishing it.
When i looked at it today I was even more convinced it will look good when done!
I think the colour would look superb on an ink black

I think the rocker cover looks ace. Great job, some time spent there getting that looking good. Certainly bucks the trend thumb

well i have decided in an attempt to cheer myself up at the end of this miserable year I will start doing a few bits to the coupe again.
it's been happily hibernating in the garage since the end of october now and to be fait i haven't done too much to it.
so will start tomorrow by trying to finish colour coding the headlamps and maybe then start stripping the strut brace ready for paint.
plus i need to start doing stuff as patch is showing me up big style!!!!
