Re: Blu's Turbo Re-shell Thread

Didn't think any of them had autolevelling lights

Thought there was just manual adjustment in the engine bay, then hydraulic adjustment like you have there, using the screen wash reservoir, finally, electrical adjustment that was controlled maually from within the car.

Just jumkit all imho...looks messy

Re: Blu's Turbo Re-shell Thread

yeah, they're not auto levelling, just adjustable.

I have never seen a hydraulic set like that before, only in the haynes manual.

Re: Blu's Turbo Re-shell Thread

Well future of this project is not looking good at the mo, just bought another cinq, picking up on monday. Have borrowed the money though and need to pay it back... In an ideal world, i'd keep the turbo gubbins and put it on the new one but may have to sell some stuff, if not the lot - so not sure what the future holds right now.

One thing is for sure though, the drive is getting full.. Can't wait to get behind the wheel of a cinq again though, even if its not a turbo lol


little taster

more pics, and a new thread to follow soon

Re: Blu's Turbo Re-shell Thread

cough, what the turbo? cough

Looks tidy. but not a fan of the black wheels and black paint. A bit of a contrast would look better imho

Re: Blu's Turbo Re-shell Thread

i like the wheels, althogh perhaps some detailling will be done at later date.. they are 15's and i'd prefer 14's really, always got my delta wheels, swappage around will happen just to compare ans stuff.

Re: Blu's Turbo Re-shell Thread

I think I'd find it hard not to stick white mirrors and wheels on it, but it does look cute in an evil sort of way.
