Favourite additions - not for 'purists' !!

Post by Bidz »

So, what're your favourite additions to your car?

Mine are the eyelids (Sorry Roy) - they add a lazy charm - and my klaxon horn, which I probably use too much. People always smile though...

And I like the sun visors, cushions and glovebox liners, because I've trimmed them all in the same linen-look red fabric and they fit in so well.

On my last Minor, I had a genuine chrome John Cooper gearlever !
I'd love a Desmo roof rack and a Claxon horn on my next one. If I get a Traveller, I'm going for the wood inserts aswell.[frame]Image[/frame]

A set of LP917 van rims certainly look the part on my Traveller, whilst being a subtle 'mod'.

Then, there's the 1275cc MG Midget engine with electronic ignition and fuel pump conversion and matching close-ratio gearbox, which are quite satisfying, plus Ford Sierra/Escort ventilated front disc brakes, alternator, spin-on oil filter, telescopic dampers, extra gauges, stereo, intermittent wiper delay unit, etc, etc...

Nothing irreversible though, and I've still got the original engine, dynamo, drum brakes and lever arm dampers should I ever wish to revert back to standard...
