didnt think they would be any different just because the new arches were slighty flaired.

thought that started life as a 1.6 (k4m i think) engine.

[Gt rob]

deal!

[unclebuncles]

that one from fast car wasnt even white when it started IIRC.

e2a: there is a build thread around here somewhere...

The one on Fast Car is Jamies

[welshname]

Just to clear stuff up. white was NOT an option from factory on any of the 1*2's, there are a couple of non sports and a lot of vans.

[AllanHardie]

thats the way jamies clio once looked,



then that ^

But after that jamie owned it and is as it sits now.
