My ST has a set of the curved locost ali side panels bought from Luego. Unfortunetly the salt off the road has made a bit of a mess of them and has eaten the surface slightly. It will not clean up with cutting paste, but a rub with some fine wire pads get it off. But are these panels anodised, as there seems to be a nice shiney finish?? By the way i have just bought the car which was completed in 2003

they won't be coated if their corroding, put a thick coat of clear car polish on them this time of year

Hello MK9R - haven't seen you on here for a while.

I remember using your (loft based) MK build diary as a bit of a reference point during the early stages of my build.

What happened to that car in the end?

Any pics of your new car?

Hi,

Sold the MK 80% complete as i had bought a lotus elise and put a Civic Type R engine in it. 9 months later i blew it up and lost love with it so bought the ST (complete). Only had it a couple of weeks but love it, total animal!!! he she is:-


ST

I want to colour code the sides and there are a couple of bits i need to tidy up, but other than that its fantastic, with a great spec!
