Oh right I guess that would go some of the way to explaining why I can’t remember seeing another road car with them fitted. Thanks for the info, i’m not likely to ever acquire a set now but it’s useful to know on the off chance. They certainly do a good job of filling the wheel arches ?.

No problem, I realise I also have a few close up pictures of the Trophy mirrors too if you’re still considering getting something similar but not necessarily originals they may be of use to you if you’re looking for a close match. Let me know and I will upload them. The new wheels just add to...

Sounds like a good deal ?. I don't think the opening is much, if any bigger but I may be wrong. The actual shape of the side pods are different though and they come out at a slightly different angle. Here is a picture of Trophy with them fitted: (Sorry the quality isn’t great). And I also...

Fair enough, a good attitude to have. Is the guy who did the work on your spoiler doing the cutting work? I imagine getting the holes lined up for the ducts is a case of measure several times and cut once. A few years ago there was a guy on here who had 10 sets of genuine Trophy/Cup car...

It’s been a while since I last posted on here, great to see the spoiler back on. I’m envious of the wheels you’ve tracked down, I may have mentioned I tried to find a set once but a combination of their rarity and asking prices for any sets that did turn up eventually put me off but I really do...

Yes there is an access panel underneath the carpet on the storage shelf behind the drivers seat (or in your case passenger seat being left hand drive). I changed my fuel filter a few years back and remember there being reasonable access. Unfortunately I can’t recall how easy it would have been...

It looks nice, I imagine it stands out a lot in Canada amongst the other traffic. Regarding the fuel pump I have the workshop manual here and it says the fuel pump marque/type is “BITRON” and under special notes it says “Immersed in the tank, Flow: 80 l/h minimum under a regulated pressure of 4...

It came out really nice, you can see where the Catalunya Trophy influences are in the design but the way you have subtly changed some of the lines work well. Any particular reason you went with the Absinthe sponsor? I wouldn’t be surprised if the designers had been at the stuff when they first...

Some great pictures there, the scenery looks fantastic in those mountains and Reims is one of those places I must visit one day it looks very interesting. ? I can’t blame you for not taking your car on track over there, there is an awful lot of risk involved.

Sounds like a good trip, did you take the v6 on Nurburgring or were you spectating? The furthest i’ve driven my car in one day is only around 300 miles but i’d agree that they do seem good at covering long distances. I’ve heard from others that the v6 does attract quite a bit of attention in...

Nice to see your update, I bet it was fun driving around Europe in it. Do you have any pictures from your trip? These “major changes” you have planned have me intrigued too, can you elaborate or would you rather wait until they’re finished?

Thanks for the nice comments :up:, since my last update I removed the rear bumper again to polish the exhaust and give the mesh a fresh coat of gloss black paint as it's been two years since I last did it in my first post of this thread. The process was the same as before so I won't bother...

As you can see below the Phase 2 wheels do a much better job of filling out the front arches: I’ve also found the Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres to be very good in both the dry and wet. I carried out another oil and filter change in October last year and fitted new wiper blades all...

Well I did say that I couldn’t promise regular updates but I didn’t mean to leave it this long before posts. Following on from the MOT advisory I mentioned in my previous post in 2016 adjustments were made to the handbrake. They worked as it passed its MOT in July of last year with no issues...

Haha it’s true, that’s why I was careful to write “short term” & “the time being” :smile:. A plumbed in fire suppression system would be a nice safety upgrade, fires do thankfully appear to be rare but they as you probably know/have seen pictures online have happened in the past. I was also at...
