So you got me a price for the side skirts then?

Is there any damage to them then?

that suspension looks a little jealous, i think you should give me those piaa's to make me feel better and to say thanks for the pulley

I offered you the piaas but you said they wouldnt fit your big brake conversion as theyre 16"s

and ive not forgotten the pulley - ive got 3 wishbones here for you as recompense - now you want a mugen manifold and probably mugen downpipe as well - ffs

theyre in very good condition - no tears cracks or gouges - theyve been painted really badly so yellow paint is flaking off so should be easy to strip and then prime them - they were fitted using aluminium L shape section and have some other aluminium clips and clamps - not sure if theyre mugen or fabricated by bodyshop

would need rob to check it out once ive got some decent pics.
Ive bought them and have yet to decide if i want to keep them

those piaa's would just sit in my living room so i can look at them, way better than scatter cushions!

dont need rear wishbones anymore as i have much more exciting one, not sure i still need the fronts either

so just the manifold and we'll call it evens

fair enough phil but im not expecting to hear from him for at least a week or so

I wasnt until i felt how light they were - looks like you use the aluminium brackets to fit them directly to the cills so you do away with the stock sideskirts altogether and that saves a LOT of weight - will let you know

say what?

yeah i was asking about the bumper

Post by **vanzep** » Mon Oct 08, 2012 10:20 pm

Ive bought it merc and got it here - dont think i will want it so make me an offer for it - you can see in the pic it comes with the bumper bar and funny looking metal number plate/brace to attach it to - theres also the side indicators in there some wiring and bulbs etc
i though Tramroad motors might like it as it yella

Did you take the suspension then, or ask if he'd split the motor/controllers?

Nice hoarding of parts from him though. The brackets for the sides are all needed. I have been missing those long L shaped brackets from two sets of sides now. And yes they replace the stock plastic sills and save a shed load of weight. Bumper too is a heck of a lot lighter.

I had to make the sides brackets. you can get identical dimensioned brackets from B&Q in aluminium for around £10 each, then just cut the notches out for the OEM sill plastic clips. I've just finished mine.

I also have a spare set of Mugen sides in my garage. Still here if you fancy them as a backup Nath!
