No, universal things on ebay, work well enough though.

Might put the fucker back on now, might speed the 1.2 up a bit

When my brother was insured on it he had it at 110mph indicated, down a big assed hill

Had 100 on a straight, not that bad, but still pretty poor. Most Ive had it at so far is 80mph.

Just ordered some new car mats, as the universal ones I had were utter, utter shit.

Cant think of anything else to do to it once the sebring is fitted & I get some MHW's, bigger engine is the only step really, or a new car.

Not updated this in a while, but quite a bit has happened since.

Firstly, the head gasket started to go



Just after I topped up on super unleaded aswell



Ordered the parts to fix it, but I may be getting a 1.4 SPI to put in it instead, then sell it, or 1.4 8v SRI engine will be going in .

How its looking atm, all sorry for itself with a missing mudflap, number plate and backbox, they all fell off
