Re: Introduce yourself
Hi everyone my names Pavan, im new to this forum. Brought a rocco 8v scala paprika red 1989 injection. I have done a few things like yellow tint the fogs, taken the bottom fog lights off as they had holes in them :( . New Exhaust and a few other things like cleaning the engine up abit, respraying the fan and radiator cover and wire brushing the alternator so the shiny silver comes back ...nothing major done yet.
Here are a few pics
Things to doo-
Put my 16" rims on, paint the rocker cover, lower the car, tint the back windows and maybe take the side plastic trim off? hmm should i?
My bumper alignment is not correct, if i take the bumpers off would the clips snap and there for needing a new one?
Sorry im a newbee

Welcome!
The front bumper bolts on with 4 17mm IIRC headed bolts on the inside of the chassis legs. They're all slotted holes, so overall alignment is altered by slackening them, yanking the bumper into position and re-tightening.
If you're planning a lot of work, get a build thread started!
