Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I want that sooooooo badly!
Thanks, I want to keep it 100% OEM so wouldnt put any ph2 parts on it. Not convinced that the ph2 18s sit right on the ph1, think its something to do with the different off sets.
2003, however there are some later registered ph1s and earlier registed ph2s so anywhere between 02-05!
Thanks mate, Its the OEM one, just give it a bit of a clean every few months.
Do you still have the mesh in the bumper mate? My exhaust went all dull so I had it painted matt black, the colour's chipped off though, so it needs doing again 
Out of interest, what are your wheels like ? a couple of mine have gone pitted on a few of the spokes. I think it's happened to a few other too.

yeah mesh is still on the bumper, you can see it better here:
The wheels are currently unrefurbished and are pretty good, but not perfect (as you would expect on a 12 year old car). Pitting has started and there are a few marks. SG motorsport knows a place that matches OEM finish perfectly so im going to get them refurbed next spring.
Ive not recently seen any other unrefurbished phase 1 wheels that don't need doing, i guess years of grime, salt and cleaning products gradually ruin the finish.
Cheers that looks really nice!!
Yeah oddly my wheels have only gone a bit dodgy on the rear, the front ones are still pretty mint. I need to get my exhaust boxes sorted as they really let it down. I did consider boxing them in (even looked at getting phase 2 inserts) but I wanna keep it OE. I do have a spare back box, but I don't fancy messing around with it.

Cheers guys. I wasn't 100% about mars red before I got it. Ive always liked it, but its not the normal colour I would go for.
I still hanker after an acid, illiad or another iceberg vee, but really enjoying the mars now. Its just different and shows the lines off well after a polish.
I am missing driving it now, but its so clean underneath that its not worth driving it and getting it covered in cack to have to spend the time cleaning it again… The phase 1s had minimal rust protection from the factory and id like this one to last a good few more years so going to take care of it.
