MP Admin Posts: 8747 Location: Greater London \ Essex | Thanks m8, it's coming together nicely now @Mutts... this is what I'm good at hehe, trod on those chrome surrounds down the scrappy a few years back and realised they're the same fit as tro ones. I've posted what they're from once before but seeing as it's nearly Easter I reckon you should go hunting for it like an Easter egg | ||

MP Admin Posts: 8747 Location: Greater London \ Essex | 8 hours and aching arms later... Just need to do the rubber seals, window glass etc but the outside should only need a quick spray with Quick Detailer once it gets to the show. This is why I'm not sure about the splitter... I reckon it'll be scraping the floor the moment I go near speedbumps, driveways etc... | ||

MP Admin Posts: 8747 Location: Greater London \ Essex | I'll have to grit my teeth and smile at that comment (need to be nice to Miller until I get my ZR door off him at PoL ) And besides, it's now tucked up in the garage so unless pigeons can undo locks I'm OK | ||

MP Admin Posts: 8747 Location: Greater London \ Essex | After yesterday I have a new shopping list - Xsara headlamp washers - stainless backbox - anti roll bars and polybushes - smooth rear wiper (Frog is it?) On reflection the to-do list from the previous pages was very fitting, was very proud of the tro yesterday, drove like a dream and cleans up pretty well | ||

Transport Guru MP Moderator Posts: 4947 Location: Bromley, Kent | Xsara windscreen jets or headlight washers? Smooth rear wiper is from a mk1 Renault Frog. | ||

Best SHINNY so far with the aid of Zaino and a few other goodies before PoL Won a couple of show prizes with it in the last year, most recent being Best Modified Rover at MG Saloon Day 2013 | ||
