    Just a couple of bolts if youre taking the brackets from the rover aswell, or one bolt if its just the horn I took the bracket with one of the horns (cos theres two obviously) so put one on the honda bracket, and used the other bracket for the second one. Only tricky bit is getting them off the rover, as the bumper needs shiffting to get into them, but fitting on the honda is mega easy, nothing needs taken off (except the original squeaky horn lol )

    almost forgot, also changed the gay honda horn for twin horns from a rover 400. No meore meep meep excuse me horn now..........more of a "GET OUTTA THE WAY" Gene Hunt Stylee!

    Yeah it does mate! I was a bit concerned that it wouldnt tbh, as most short ariels have a helically wound coil (see, may days of CB'ing in the 80's did eventually come in handy!) . You can see the wire under the plastic on most, spiralling up the ariel, which means the wirse is longer than ours, cos ours is just straight from the bottom to the top. I've only noticed a very slight drop in signal, but thats on stations i was struggling to get in the first place. I wasnt too fussed tbh, as i never listen to the radio anyways lol always got my MP3's on!

    Latest mod. Only a small one, but makes a nice defference to the looks. And thanks to DAVEMB2 for this mod lol, saw it in his thread a while back! Right, was looking for ages for an ariel from an MGZS, as they are slightly shorter than the standard MB fishing rod thats on the roof! Couldnt find one, and hated the aftermarket ones, which sometimes dont fit right, so....................................................... unscrew,Chop chop, squeeze,pull,stick,screw....................jobs a good un! Modified the original mb6 ariel, so nice short length now, and still oem fit [attachment=1]ariel.jpg[/attachment] [attachment=0]ariel (2).jpg[/attachment] Much better!

    lol, was mega lucky, my mate spotted it in a breakerso got it for me, think it was a fiver! Yeah, was lucky to find her, was originally going to look at a vtis, but it was older, more miles, smashed fogs...........and the garage were really crappy to deal with. Spotted this and couldnt believe the miles/condition! She had a couple of niggles (thermostat, plus a garage that serviced it made a balls up of it and the oil filter fell off!!! Luckily, wasnt going fast, or it would have totalled the engine!) and now needs new tyres/exhaust, which every car needs anyways. Love her to bits, puts a smile on my face every time i drive it!

    Who's been a busy boy!? She's looking tops Dave, good work! Looking forward to seeing her at the meet. Youve done a top job on the rear tinted lights aswell! Haha! Love the wee car washing smilie Rich!

    C'mon man! The suspense is killing us! What have you done to her!!! We demand pics!!!

    Ok, thought I'd put a wee update in. Not done much lately due to weather/being busy. Things she's had are the clear side indicaters changed for smoked ones, which look really good with her colour. Most recent addition was today, in the shape of some nice VTiS mats (Cheers Ryan!) She's had her first decent valet of the year, which included the usual washing/drying, then T-cut to get rid of grime/swirls, finished off with 2 coats of turtlewax ICE (first time ive tried this, usually use mcguires, but the ice is superb!) Also got her interior all vaccumed out and freshened up.And fitted the centre console cup holder! Theres a wee mod you can do to stop the damn lid popping up (as im sure any of us thats fitted these will now have noticed that it does!). I'll pop a wee how to up when i get the chance.....this ones simples! [attachment=0]OEM Cupholder.jpg[/attachment] Still got to give her another coat or two of ice, followed by a couple of coats of turtlewax original car wax (some new stuff theyve brought out thats in an olde world tin) Also in the middle of getting Dawns Aerodeck done, as its been needing it just as much as ruby! Plus, getting Betty ready!!! lol it's all go here at the moment, getting the driveway sorted out tomorrow, so should have a nice sore back by tea time! lol Still looks like we live in the "Hous of Honda" with all these M's in the drive lol Pics to follow
