Looks fantastic! I love my 5, but we have a baby coming in July. The wife has a Mk5 Golf GTI, not sure we can run 2 cars. I'll be gutted if I have to let mine go!

Thanks for the comment

Would suck if you had to sell your car, there such fun to drive

While my cars been with Garath at the MX5 Restorer I thought I would give my garage a paint to try to make it a bit brighter and reduce the amount of dust in there.

How it was before, quiet dark and gloomy



And all done, its alot brighter in there now and floor is looking alot better, still needs a bit of tidying tho.

Not bad for £29 of paint





Go and pick my car up this evening, cant wait to see it with the new rollbar in and smoothed bumper

Picked up my car this evening

Stopped and took a few photos on my way home -

Smoothed front Bumper,





and smoothed rear panel and TR Lane GPV Roll Bar fitted,

Car really needs an OEM lip but that will have to wait till next month now

Good man

I wish my 328 wasn't broken so I could go for a blast up there.

nice looking car man, i love my na. you considered removing the rear mud flaps? one of the first things i did, imo cleans up the rear a good bit

[tim0854]

Cheers

Agree they are great cars, love mine

have taken the mud flaps off before to see what it would look like and I prefered my car with them on, so think im going to keep them on for now

Just won a Renault Laguna splitter for the grand sum of £1.20 on ebay as the seller had spelt it as Leguna lol

Pick it up Sunday, so will hopefully have it fitted by the end of the weekend

[House86]

Well cant pick my splitter up till this evening so probably wont have time to fit it today, so decided to clean the engine bay a bit by removing the charcoal canister that doesn't do anything.

How it looked before removal -



Removed from the bay



and how it looks now its removed, tidies it up a bit and saves a bit of weight

[House86]

Finally managed to get a matching centre cap so now have a complete set.


Can now get them refurbed, just need to decide what colour to do the wheel centres

[Gilhooligan]

looking good man

the bracket that holds the charcoal canister can also be removed as can be seen on the pic. i also relocated my coolant overflow reservoir too.

[House86]

Cheers

Did have ago at removing the bracket but couldn't get it off, will have to get the hammer out the weekend and have another go lol

Yours does look a lot better with the coolant moved

[St. Anger]

Just out of interest, where did you relocate it to?
