Re: Ratspeeds Mk1 plantpot plus
well after doing 100 miles or so with the coilovers on and with a few tweaks here and there i can say its the best £500 i have spent! Completely changed the cars handling. Now it makes me smile even more when im in it!
Plus with the great weather this week its been used as a daily too

Re: Ratspeeds Mk1 plantpot plus
very nice touch, you have a keen eye my friend
so you got away from me that day to buy them? did my best to take pics of your every move
i didnt find anything that day worth buying, mk3s are still too new for auto jumbles
even a mk3 capri is too new!
btw i love them seats, would make an awesome lounge chair!
