Mine needs a lot of work yet mate! I never saw speedlines look so good on a 306 either! Are you running stage 1?

The XUD pull like trains as standard! (With a bit of turbo lag in 2nd gear) but the stage 1 makes such a difference to the power of them!

Thanks man, yeah we should! Photoshoot!
This happened the other day:
Bit annoying, going to fix it soon.
Fixed the door strap so the door actually stays open now which is nice, and fitted the drivers doorcard:
Haven't put the passenger one on yet as still need to fix the window.
Finally gave it a quick clean.
Got some more parts to fit including replacing the fog lights and a 205 steering wheel
How do you get the standard wheel off?
Thanks!

To get the steering wheel off there is 2 T30 screws that go through from the back to get the air bag off and then think its a 21mm nut to undo and give the wheel a good pull.

Thanks Niall! Appreciate it
I think it's the perfect height now, was too low when I got it though!
I didn't realise how nice Miami was until I got this, I had never seen one in the flesh before!

No real progress but the rain stopped just in time to give it a quick clean on my break.
Hoping to fit some new bits and fix a few things in the next week!

I love this car. Looks epic.
Are the side skirts a different colour?

There supposed to be the same, but the colour match isn't brilliant. I don't notice it too much!

if you want a splitter still at least get a better one, its looking a bit battle scarred currently!

But you have a splitter on a splitter though,lol. C/C the bottom strip on the bumper if you going to keep it

Yeah, looks sexual but the splitter does let it down IMO, splitters just look wrong on phase 1s for 2 reasons:
Nobody has found one that ACTUALLY matches the shape of the bumper
They already have a matt black 'splitter' at the bottom, so as puglove says, it looks like a splitter-on-splitter affair.
