RSRudeboy,

I live in Kettering and I go to StreetRacers just this side of Leicester. The owner's wife has a VERY modded 220 tubby.

I put my ti on their r/road and came out with 191BHP :(

The R800 Coupe turbo is the best. No question.

The fastback is OK, but the coupe takes it on looks.

ZooZoo,

Have a look at this recent thread

http://www.rovertech.net/forum/viewtopi ... hlight=fog.

The front fog light switch is the upper of the two fod light switches and comes as a complete unit. You cannot just remove the blank. You will need to get a whole unit with both switches in there as shown in this ebay item

Well I'm a OE lip spoiler fan. Keeps the car understated, but from behind (with Vit Sport alloys) it still sits ever so nice.

Modern Jags and Beemers have seen the light. Lip is the way forward.
