Look at the top pic, look down and to the right of what you think is the fuel filler, just under the black stripe, notice the actual fuel filler ;)
No idea what the round things are though, anyone fancy clarifying?

And as for the mk1 fiesta comment... all mk1 polos look like mk1 fiestas to me! i like them both

Hey, you don't happen to have any exterior door handles lying around? Or know anyone who does?

whats wrong with the ones youve got ? theyre fairly easy to repair if the mechanism is shafted, or is it cosmetic ?

I loved this car pre-mini lites but now it just looks the titties! Everytime I see it I want to sell the mkIII and buy a mkI as a runabout instead :lol:

Whats with the random hose coming out of your boot in this pic? :lol:

hehe, i believe the hose was the one used to fill the bed of the caddy in the left of the pic full of water - caddy watersport !! - dodgy perspective i guess

i still like the pre-minilites look too, but they put a smile on my face every time i look at it, which is nice! Keep the mk3 rubabout, its so ratty and so unbelievably cool !! besides, you got the derby still havent you... ?

Ste, What size is the width of those wheels and what offsets are they? I assume that they are 13 x 8 but with minilites I thought that you could only get ET0? :? Wouldn't mind a set if I decide against the ATS Classics.
