The cover has a sponge there anyway thats been crushed so its simply adding more depth to the sponge. Fully fire safe

Mines a 55 plate mk2 2.0L Titanium.

 

The car drives perfectly fine, no misfire or running issues its just purely the ignition. My engine has the plastic cover over the top of it so even if my jet was leaking it wouldn't affect any spark plugs.

 

No fault codes stored either and no warning lights when starting up. About 8/10 times it will start perfectly fine pretty much instantly but the other 2 will chug and either finally start or start when tapping accelerator.

Mine aren't tinted either (see my pic above)!  :angry: Should they be fitted with tinted glass from factory?

 

They had been tinted in the past and the tint removed mind you, because about 6 months into ownership, when I finally had a rear seat passenger, they touched the rear window and noticed it was still covered in a layer of glue! Obviously the tints weren't removed properly by a previous owner, which left me the laborious task of removing it all...and it was a !Removed! of a job to do on all three rear windows! Also broke some of the heater element paint on the rear windscreen in a couple of places, so still need to get this sorted.

 

Personally I think wheels are the best place to start if you're looking for sportier appearance. What you reckon about the rest of the suggestions? Have you any preference or priority for future mods?

Maybe that's whats happened to mine, the lower sections of the rear heated window has big tears in it causing the whole bottom of it not to work. I wonder if my previous owner also removed the tints.. dunno why you would though. Will be getting it re-tinted.

 

I nearly got my hands on some ST alloys but it fell through (N)  I have just bought the better heater dials from ebay which i will be changing when they arrive. I will probably get some team heko wind deflectors as i had them on my punto. At the moment looking around there is no black st body parts available so will have to wait for that as i cant be arsed with spraying... did to much on the punto and it bores me now haha.
