Re: One to go!

As you can see not much left for me to do - i'll have to sell her now...

i have the same problem, there's nothing else i want to do, so its time to sell and start a new project.

Re: One to go!

This was more of a joke. I may however have no chance to work on this baby, as my wife pushes me a lot to sell the car and buy something new.

What I'd like to do in the future is (in order of importance and most likely execution):
- install headlight washers so that I'm on the safe side when stopped by the police (I already have the sprayers and the pump, will buy a pipe and make a custom container shortly)
- install fogs
- upgrade brakes by installing 257mm ventilated disks from a Tipo
- go back to suspension as wishbones became squeaky already (after less than a year)
- maybe... replace paper nokias with 165mm kenwoods (little work supposingly big effect)- replace door handles with color coded ones
- tint rear windows
- install courtesy lights in front doors (out of boredom I think)

Why make a custom container, wont it be easier to get a container from a car that has the washers as they all use the same one?

Re: One to go!

I want to have two separate ones. The sprayers are also different from stock - small round ones which will not ruin the looks.

What model Marea do you have that doesn't have 257mm vented discs?

since i first read this post i've been checking every bravo, brava or marea i've seen, and i have seen several that have these bits cut out, but not all cars do. there seems to be no certain age or model that has them cut out. now i'm even more confused.

You're a wierd guy you know that?

I'd say eccentric. Just like we all are - italian car owners.
