Oh here HE is. no name for the vimto monster yet but lets see what you guys think.

SPEC - HLX
ENGINE - 115BHP 1.8 N/A

MODS -
De-Badge
Stickers.

The mods no doubt will be constantly flowing knowing me so dont be too shocked its standard ive only had it two days lmao. here are the pics so far anyways
(Note its a red colour in mild light but due to the metallic it apears to be anything from burgandy to bright pink in direct light)

as you can see i have a rear light issue and the handles have seen better days, but other than that everything works and there is only one 1" scratch on him... bargain!

Looks no bad, looks a nice colour imo

Looks tidy certainly a great solid base for a project

lol step one is down to the body shop tomorrow... golf r32 was nice enough to reverse into the front of it tonight. said i had no lights on when i was stood infront of the car with the lights clearly on....

they have promised to sort it at the shop tomorrow.. i have there name (from a passport) vehicle reg and a phone number.. hopefully is enough. they cracked the bumper chipped the wing and moved my headlight... pure gutted. just gutted

ffs man bad luck seems to be following you about atm

Sakes mate

You're right though - less than 3 days and it's not standard any more

lol aye. well i drained the old coolant today and put fresh stuff in, temp needle still reads sweet f/a so thermo must be stuck open.. shame their too expensive lol. cheapest i found was £49.

oil is fresh as is filter and thankfully cambelt . brakes are new too and fully serviced so nothing for me to spend money on.

going to make up some sort of induction kit and mabee paint the rocker cover next. then ill save for a zorst

Bloody hell Steve, there's just no gettin away from bad luck at the mo for ya.
Nice enough Motor & I'm gonna say this before anyone else gets it in...... "needs lowered" :lol:
Unlike Neo the Bravo's aren't always in scrappies so can't even say I'd be able to get parts for it.
Anyways nice enough motor, good project car an all.

There is a fair amount of them in the scrappy here even a few hgt's. got a stack of mareas too so parts are not a issue. none are my colour though mostly ink black.. ....booo

it does need lowered but im really enjoying not feeling bumps lol. dont want to ruin that atm as the heated seats wont be as good if im bounced out of them

Sometimes get a few up here at Persley. If you need owt once she's fixed let me know.

Also got a few parts in the shed - full service kit, front lower arms, handbrake cables etc, but they were for the HGT not sure if they'd fit the 1.8.

I do, though, have a nice set of Stilo alloys...all need re-tyred, one has some scuffing.

was in the scrappys today, 3 bravos in, 2 silver one blue, not much help for body panels tbh

Looks like a good clean car that

Hope the VW driver sorts you out for the damage. As has been said, pretty crap luck after having the car so short a time, could be an excuse to source an Abarth bumper and the like though

Oh hell: bad luck mate. Hope you get it sorted

lol cba with all the abarth gear. it a pain in the arse and expensive to buy and fit and paint. what do these stilo alloys look like? i really like my hgt alloys atm though lol

I'll put up a pic later. Look nice on the Bravo imo. I was planning to take my HGT alloys off and swap them over.

yeh think i know what ones you mean... and id be tempted my hgt's arnt even slightly curbed atm lol.


pm, me a list with all the bravo stuff you have spare/want to sell and ill let you know if i need/want any of it.

At least one has a bit of kerbing, the rest aren't too bad iirc. Tyres would all need replaced though.

Willing to rid these for a nominal donation to the site. And could more than likely courrier them down at the meet if need be.

In the **** Im sure I've a full set of mintex discs and pads. Now, they were for the rear of the HGT so not sure if they're any use...but could be? Never been out of their box!

nice project potential steve. plenty of engine to fiddle with by the looks of it aswell

how big are the stilo alloys and pm me the donation to keep it private and i may be tempted...

rear disk conversion wont be too hard to do. i already have the mounting plates. just need calipers disks ect.my sei rear callipers are from a marea so would fit but ive already sold them lol. ill keep a eye out for a cheap set

engine does look good tidied up a little

induction kit
momo strut brace
bonnet lifters
and wire brush polished up top
