Yeah they're just standard sport ones Jaffa, they might look darker coz there next to my grey plastics???

As for sound deadening.. I'm not sure. I was sat on it while I wiped inside down and it was breaking up underneath me and coming out... :/ what do you think?

It's always a help if there is someone near you who you can roll down with. I'll speak to Kyle about MK.

Because you asked... Just a small update today went and got myself some colour coded wing mirrors.
So I took them to bits and started sanding them down. I hope they'll make a nice subtle to difference to the car when they're on.

Also aswell this week, me and my brother stripped the turbo engine down. Checked the size of the pistons with the micrometer and checked the crankshaft for wear. Everything is all the correct size according to the Haynes manual but before we start goin back together, a new set of piston rings will go in and big end bearings but thats another day!

Mirrors apart



Parts sanded down



Engine on the stand.





Stripped down





Sump off



Pistons out
