Looks nice mate, much difference in performance and consumption from the 120T. Only thing with these is the tax, ours is something like £215-220 :-(

Performance is much better when I have sport mode on. The best thing about it. Its grip and handling is improved. It's more comfortable. It's just such a better car.

Tax is £180 and fuel consumption is bang on the same... So long as I don't have sport mode on.

I dont understand that, there was alot of discussion when we got ours why some are 180 and others 215! Ours is a 59 reg so similar age to yours too!

The 150 t-jet sport is the only model that does.

It's not a true dump valve mate. I've just disconnected the recirc pipe. Blocked the entry into the air box and fitted a tiny come filter to the engine cover. Still gives you the dump valve noise for a lot less than an actual dump valve. Doesn't affect engine in anyway either. I'll get a photo of the set up for you if you're interested

Great job. Really beautiful and I love the color!!!
Newbie question: Is the "Maserati blue" the name of the color?

Yes mate. It's a beautiful colour with extra pop in the sun because it is very metallic. In fact it's almost pearlescent in my opinion.

So the modifications and customisation continue, firstly I took the grills out. Separated the chrome from them, sanded, primer'd, and painted the whole thing Gloss black. I then used wrap cut and a roll of gloss black wrap to connect the grills and I also used left overs to make the wing mirror caps Gloss black too. I then took this opportunity to fit my Aluminium pressed plates to finish the look Next I plan on making roof and Spoiler gloss black but will be paying a proffesional. And at the same time will get windows tinted to 90%. (I think it's clear I'm going for blue and black theme here ), I'll also be doing the diffuser and fog surrounds at some point but all in good time. I have many other modifications including performance mods but they will be coming in a few months.
