If you've managed to get a decent tailgate, I would keep it in good order. If need be, surely you could get another Boot and spray/work with it.

When I bought my B, it had been de badged at a time, and at the start I thought about buying all the new badges for her ie 1.2 16v, Breeze badge, but the more I see it without them, the neater the car looks, in my opinion.

However, it would look smart with them. Suppose you can always take them off again.
There was loads of Bs middle of last year in our scrappy I had some ace runs, so I was a bit disappointed this time to be honest? But scrap is low at the minute so I think there like stock piling cars for the crusher to get some cash,

Yeah well I will have the one I take off mine I could have a mess about with couldn't I, yeah I mean I think once it's painted and fitted and looking fresh I'll probably leave the badges on but just looking at the new one I thought it doesn't look to bad like you say could always take them back off if I didn't like it,

Does anyone know of anywhere you can get like samco hoses or something similar for the 1.0 litre engine?? Never seems to show any for the little engine and fancy some just to tidy the engine bay up a bit [emoji848]

Micksgarage.co.uk are doing a deal on blue silicone hoses atm, would have to measure what'd you'd need yourself but kits for the 1.0/1.2 only come up once in every second blue moon

Ash10 is the code for 10% until end of the month, I've been ordering from them for years and I'd highly recommend them, never had a single fault with them

Ahhh right no they wouldn't spoil it at all mate like I say Hartley noticeable with standard h4s in so with hids on you won't see them at all,
I got the bulbs from my work work in a body shop so endless supply haha, but they are just Amber 501 cap less or 501A I'm sure you would get them at any halfords or euro parts or something like that,

Haha thanks man [emoji106] been getting quiet a bit of good feedback on it, for something I just tried spur of the moment. Them error free LEDs should be brighter as well I would of thought so will probably look better, yeah I would get the matching bulbs for the fogs too lad
