Black would look nice, they had a thread on here called night rider i think and that MK2 was the bomb, i loved it! black really suits the mk2, as for the nose cone sell it to someone with a mk2 who cant afford a real RS lol, Btw what's under the bonnet? with that cage in there id like to think somthing with a bit of guts, worked 2L? maybe some twins? Overall Nice one
Rhys.
the motor that is going in is gettin slowly built lol but its a 2L pinto bord to a 2.1 and the head will be pretty standard as for money but it is gettin set up for a big cam n poo poo. ye i will get some twins when i get the money.

Get rid of your square headlights...
...
Everyone should get rid of them, then I will be the only one with square ones =P. Looks good. Dont make it a RS lookalike, better the way it is.
Paint your bonnet mat black, would look sweet. Did mine the other day =) lol. Just remember that changing the carby is ilegal. Cops haven't checked under my bonnet yet but they have asked if they can buy mine off me lol.

You could start thinking about, how your going to fend the Ladies away when you get your car on the road;)
Have you thought about wiring yet, someone on here might have a MK2 RS wiring loom avalible.
That will save you some pennies if you don't have a Auto electrition handy.
