Re: project:UFO
I so wish I'd painted mine white now. But that was in 2007 and white really wasn't a good look then....

Re: project:UFO
Looks good down there, much neater. Is it worth putting some mesh or something under it, to prevent rocks etc bashing it?

I think you can buy socks for them to stop road grime getting in when they are low down, often used when fitted to the Mk1 FRS as they are low down on these too

Re: project:UFO
watch you dont get water sucked up in there!!!
When i had my Xsara vts, the green cotton filter was away down there (as is the stock airbox)....but it had some nylon type cover over it. Very easy to breathe through, but when you threw water at it, it repelled the water. Just a thought mate!

Re: project:UFO
finally the car made it on track at castle combe yesterday was a awesome day and the car never missed a beat,in fact it loved every minute of it torque steer was a big problem but im putting that down to not enough prep on suspension settings or tire pressures. i need a few more track days under my belt to realize the cars true potential,its certainly more capable than i gave it credit for ..theres a few pics about and there will be a video but found this one
