vardo 0 Posted November 16, 2013 BILLCOR,too hot,easypops,Harrier and clumpy1 Thank you very much for the comments. too hot that was 2012 and it was a lucky grill from my mates old rado and id not seen an early grill on a late car so wanted to try it. ill update now this year it took me ages to update that last night lol 2013 trialled many sets of wheels as the ruby black boxsters were sold on, i nearly went with these seat wheels before going for the trusty porsche wheels this time: cup2 7 and 9 x 17 (pics from Scottishvag13) and refitted the proper grill It was time for edition 38 and 1 week before my mate Stu and i decide to get the engine bay done. we had left it out in the respray and it was letting the car down big time sooo... started stripping it down scrubbed,replaced bits and bobs,moved stuff,rewrapped wires,colour coded inlet/rocker and of course got the bay painted,also made a scuttle cover from scratch we got finished 4 am the night before travelling the 300 odd miles to edition and ended up with a runners up rado prize which to this day im still so overjoyed about Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
