looking good mate, how did you go about filling the exhaust hole on the bumper I need to do that, did you cut out a bit of a old bumper and fiberglass it in? If so do you have any spare bits of bumper I could buy of you?

:cool:

http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...ofstuff104.jpgwhats under there? lpg tank?

yep , they call it a donut but i just cant find the jam in it :), it bolts up in that panel to keep it out of the way

ah i knew it was lpg but wasnt sure if that was were it was located
bit of a awkward shape, location

it sits quite snug under the panel , fill's via the original filler cap so its nice and neat..the only down side is it takes up the beer carrying capacity in the boot :badone:

Looking schweet! What colour is it? Obviously its blue,doesn't look like reno?:cool:

Shame on you Miller for keeping such important information from the RTOC massive :cooter:!

TBH i bet nearly every 5 on here at some point has failed an MOT, theres no harm in it aslong as the work is sorted....

And the MOT tester in question may have been wrong... and by saying what you have said Smithsgtt could make yourself laible for what you are saying, be very carefull what you post on a forum about other peoples car/work.... or just look like a complete :jerkoff:

my car used to fail every time..... and its far from a ****ter, but even then who cares?!?!

its the green ticket at the end thats important

Can not believe someone is talking about a car failing an MOT, if they passed every time there would be very little reason to have them other then to check, i know of cars that are massive in spec and price fail an MOT, as said no big issue, you correct the issue and away you go.

Really scratching my head on why someone would make an issue over it failing an MOT. :confused:

**** stirring :rolleyes:
Carlisle thing innit :coffee:

i bumped into chris and emma a couple of weeks ago and have to say it looks as good in the flesh as it does in the pics.:goodJob:

LOL the adaptronic ninja :p!

Where does your mate work?

The car was booked in for three mots: the first one it did not make it because it was not finished in time (so never left the workshop). The second one, he did not test it because i forgot to re-fit the Vin (test not started) after the engine respray, it was the last test of the day so did not have time to find it and re-fit.

Then it went for the only test that got booked onto the system and that was at the Mazda main dealer and it passed with only a recommendation for front tyres. So technically it passed its mot first time.

So nothing to do with gas pipes, anyway what could be wrong with the pipes as they passed a mot up my way with those gas pipes fitted.

So go back to your cave and stop talking sh*t!!!!!!

Chris:)

miller you lay the law down... now do the same with my prob.

Lets forget that stains stupid comments, and get on with a good thread!

Car looks the nuts, and i love the hard work that has been put into it by people. its another class :)

Looks ace. :agree:

Now get clear indicators and a euro rear cluster and finish it off :D
