Don't listen to her Paul, she's mental about yellow. If you could get yellow dogs she'd have them! :tongue:

Silver sounds good, is it like a titanium type colour?

Pretty much what I thought it would be. More of a classy look then. :+:

We've got spares for everything *but* the part you describe...! It comes as part of the lamp from Hella. I can special order them separately though, shouldn't take more than a few days.

I'm sorry trunks but that is not a product i offer, only one i invented, it would only be something done at the same time as an engine conversion.

Not at the moment i'm afraid, it has had to take a back seat while i finish putting this V6 into an Elise, finishing my V6 Rav4 and building my SC 4a-ge engine.

I just have too many things on the go right now, but it will get done, i always finish a project.

I didn't finish the convertible because the engine conversion i attempted did not work out, that was my first V8 Mk1 attempt and it meant cutting the chassis too much, so the project had to be abandoned in favour of going down the Audi V8 route in another less modified chassis.

It was a shame because the roof conversion was 90% complete, it only needed covering and it was done, in fact i still have all of that roof assembly, it was only the V8 chassis i gave up on.

I guess the lesson is not to bite off more than you can chew, other than that i always finish my projects, providing they don't meet an obstacle that makes it impossible to finish.

Only pulling your leg Paul, I'd love to have seen the convertible completed and I'm glad you've still got the bits for it. Probably a mod that's best suited to a car with a relatively stock engine though.
