well this is the back as it is. all resprayed and gleaming red. in the boot is a newer unrusted mk4 wiper arm ready to go on (at the proper angle) and a new number plate light in black cos that ones knackered. the tow hook is going to be removed and the bumper filled in. the spoiler will be back on sometime aswell. then when the new engines in time for a stainless steel exhaust. any other suggestions? bee sting arial will be going on too. the black parcel shelf and black mk4 interior then a really light smoke window tint should smarten it up too. :smile:

the boot spolier came off its in the boot! :bonkers: and getting exhaust when the xr2i engine and exhaust sytem goes on, no point getting one for a 1.1 at the moment. cant delock the boot lid cos the doors have been delocked. if the battery goes flat or the key fob stops working im screwed. tow eye is being done too. thought about having boot swage lines done too. will have to have em done now. cheers mate :smile:

ok in that pic above its got a european offside brake light without the reverse light or fog light cos they drive on the other side of the road and all that. i take it u have to have a reverse light to pass an MOT right? is it possible to get away with having the reverse light somewhere else? maybe in the light cluster but tinted red? i think it looks well nice matching brake lights. better than tinting em red :wink:

You don't legally need to have a reversing light. The car will pass the MOT without one.

It's a complete nightmare when parking in busy places though! No-one lets you out cos they can't see you're trying to reverse!
