Re: Is this too chavy?

I like the green and the ronals - as others have said probably black bumpers to break it up

Re: New member with a 92 GT2 :)

Yes they do come up from time to time on here. If ur desparate then classic parts have them at about £45 per switch however be warned they do not have the white symbol on them so if ur only replacing one then it looks a bit odd

Looking for my next Rocco project so will be active again soon I hope.

Re: fuel overflow pipe

Cheers for the part number - that will come I useful - I am fortunately blessed with smallish hands so I recon I can get in there.

Is the tank on a carbed car presurised - if the gravity pipe is knackered - would this effect it

Re: Optional extra popout windows?

I have been thinking about this for a while - I can't see it being a great idea on the mk2 as the window is long and thin at the back and in my non professional opinion the glass would have to be much wider. I had a mg mini metro a fiat punto and a Renault megane coupe - all with pop out rears - the ...

creaking suspension

Hi - wonder if anyone can confirm my suspisions - I have developed a creaking noise - it's only really noticeable below 10 when driving and it doesn't matter what road surface. It doesn't get any worse going around corners or roundabouts.
