Bamboo16v Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 (edited) yeah, on mine is the Elegance rear spoiler. i,ve still got the borbets with 215 40s in my garage just in case i need em in the future. Aquired the new brocks a few months ago and the tyres i have on them are 205 40s, i,ve rolled arches and the manta is lowered. Both sets of alloys just fit . Its going for a respray soon,,, not sure whether to paint it cosworth monsoon blue or aubergine/black.... i'll send you a few recent pics soon....

Stonymanta Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 very very nice indeed - thanks for your comments about my Commodore much appreciated especially as it's not a manta - but old opels are worth every penny. Mantas have a special place in my heart as it was the first sports car I owned back in the eighties - steady boys going all misty eyed now..... I'm now on Manta 5 'Road to recovery' in the Your projects section. Two projects at the same time, I must surely be mad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
