Loving that black and white picture, Gareth - looks nice and moody 8) Alas, none of mine on there though :(

 

First time I've seen your car in the flesh- absolutely stunning mate. Have you ever entered it into any comps?

These are uprated but the stock leads for the year were red I understand so just trying to keep it stock looking

Cheers guys, the Maxpower comment really hurt :(

Acquired new platics trims/guides for the plug leads and have got the 7mm HT leads seated far better now, the little retaining lugs were trimmed back to allow them to sit nicely in the channel.

Goota love the red leads and i wouldn't change mine if i was given a set of brand new black ones, i actually bought a brand new set last year and demanded they be red Lol! black just look a little boring to me so nice to have a bit of candy under the bonnet :grin:

Agreed red just looks right, I don't routinely look to add colour but with red being the stock colour its good to keep it and know that the eye candy is OEM

Totally agree with that comment, Maxpower my asre lol the red HT leads for me are like the red trim around the grille of the MK1 Golf GTI is subtle but hints at its power, and you wouldnt say the MK1 golf is a bit Max powery would you lol :norty:

Its all cool, no offence taken, I tend to agree on the brakes (mine are black) I don't suppose if they weren't a standard color I would have deviated from black but funnily enough red and even blue ignition leads seem to add a bit of character to the engine bay. Rest assured everything else will stay factory OEM appearance under the bonnet not a big fan of bling.

I was thinking the same :) when you click on a pic, it opens up near enough the same size as the preview. all the cars are looking very 8)

Thanks guys, sorry I haven't got bigger pics I pinched those from someones show pics but they are small. I keep trying to get a decent pic with the refinished 301s fitted but just can't take a decent pic, the car is infuriating most cars look better in pics than in the metal.

I think your car looks good from any angle... just get the phone camera out and start snapping. Then you'll prob delete most of them but you might find a few gems in there :)
