hi guys here are the update pics of the work carried out recently on the engine bay and exterior panels, as you can see the offending skuttle panel has been removed, the exterior come up trumps just 50p size holes that need welding.
got the cardboard ready to make templates for the inner wings ready for sheet metaling heres the pics.
hope you like

I think you'll struggle here. Maybe from a different model (Polos? Probably later head, different inlet design) or from USA tuning firms. Then you're into custom fabrication.

mate of mine wanted to sell me his carbs, set up for a 1.3, they are r6 motorbike carbs, sound bloody awesome, give a bit more power too, already got a custom manifold, fuel pump etc etc with it, think the setup is worth at least 150 or somethign like that
p.m me if your interested as i was meant to be buying them and cant afford it now, if u PM me ill get on to him
