Galliano Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I have a slight feeling i have some pictures of this in my recieved files - did you know a guy that used to have a white Paseo Si? Had gloss black wheels and an exhaust with a red backbox?Anyways, i like the motor, personally i think, exterior wise, leave her as she is, i think it looks descent ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mattgtt Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 Another small updatefitted these tonightthey made a nice difference made the gear lever feel much sharper! jus a pain in the ass to fit due to close tolorence fit, would suggest putting them in freezer for couple of hours and maybe heating the hoops they fit in to make it easier for anyone else wanting to fit them!
