Possibly, and it doesn't matter, as there's a Nexia one taking it place!

It's from a company called JMS in Germany

[Benn]

[Ronin]

Right, little update for the followers...














Just to clarify, it's not me doing the work it's Evil's mate Mike.

[Dan Gliballs]

Get those bloody leather seats covered up out of the dust quick!!!

Excellent work , though I've never been a fan of badboy bonnets TBH.

Superb touches mate all subtle enough to give it the extra something but not send it over board .Havent you had that rear splitter for fappin ages ,i think ive got a pic of it on my hard drive somewere ,lol.

[Ronin]

Yeah I have had it for ages; it was the first of many parts I got hold of for this project, the hardest being that Nexia filler cap, that was a nightmare.

Dan: I know what you mean, and I thought long and hard about whether I was going to do it in the end. But wait till it's finished, cos I done a lot of photoshop work, and the ascending lines of the front splitter and the descending lines from the bonnet should give it one evil look...

[Benn]

very nice!
love the roof rails,

Personaly i like the bad boy look on the mk2s i think it suits them down to the ground ,.Had your bumper had the big mouth already done or is it aftermarket ?

[Ronin]

Had your bumper had the big mouth already done or is it aftermarket ?

No that's just been done, had the washer jets plucked out and filled in too

[ANDYRACER]

Looks sweet mate, liking the work on the roof rails. You respraying it in the same colour?

[Ronin]

Of course! Gotta be my favourite Vauxhall colour by far. Plus it's a Champ, so it would be rude to change the colour, don't ya think?

[Kris C]

You mentioned the filler cap ,how do you mean it was hard to get .Do you mean hard to get hold of or just a biatch to fit ?

[Ronin]

Hard to get hold of. As Daewoo no longer make the part, (well that what they told me) - and getting someone to cut the part off for spares is a mission and a half! Got a bargain in the end though, found a donor, and an ‘angle grinder happy man’ that cut if out and sent me all the necessary parts (i.e. solenoid, switches, pipe etc), for a total of £55!

[Kris C]

Does the pipe go straight on to the origonal mounts or tank or whatever it fits on to ?
