Yeah, MK2 grille. Painted the mesh and the chrome on the fiat badge black.
OP
OP
no the chrome is still chrome it's just the way the camera caught it was pictured with flash in a dark room
but now you mention it it looks kind of mean if the badge chrome was black too
i used smotherite spray buy hamerite aplied in many thin coats it makes a very glosy finish and very durable i'm mega impresed
i thought r reg would be mk1 bravo? were does mk2 grill come from

i dont mind losing the rear badges as most of my friends think it's a 1.2 tarted up and i like it that way
but i wont remove or make any effort to hide the front badge that's too chavish

The grille is a MK2 grille, either its prob had a bump at some stage or the previous owner changed the grille.
This is a MK1 grille.

ah that's interesting is there not possibility that a late r reg could have that grill it was registered in the 12 month of 97 on the 11 or so i believe
oh my handles are here thanks again

nope. that grill started march 1999 on the T reg. it was only fitted to the mk2 models, and yours isnt a mk2, so it is definately not the grill the car was born with.

did cam belt and water pump today
i was shocked to see my belt tentioner on it.s stop with the belt flapping lose

also fixed a leak in the rear roof seam quite comon on bravos apparently so if you have water in the boot look in the roof guley for a split in the paint and rust

what make is your compression tester? i want one that long.
OP
OP
lol jug you silly moo
it's a dial guage in the top of a fiat tool a tube with a rod in it basically
it's for finding top dead for the timing notice the cam locks i have on
as it happens i do have a compression tester that long
there all the same really just depends were you get tubing for it from
or you could custom make some with a length of hydraulic tubing or such
all they are is compression tester at one end and plug thread at the other
try snap on

damn. i really want to find a compression tester like that.
yes i know what one is. i do own one
i simply saw the shaft and got excited assuming it was a compression tester and my search was over.
yeah but i want a compression tester that sits on a fixed shaft rather than a bit of tube.
Electrical Tape something to the shaft to keep the limp tube erect
i had no idea you were so kinky.
