Capri Technical Forum:

Hi Jamie, welcome to the world of good Ole Old Skool driving :wink: The only Capri's to have power steering were the 3.0L and the 2.8i and even then I think ther early MK I's had standard rack and pinion. 1.3L,1.6L and 2.0L's don't have it fitted as standard, but it can be fitted using some parts fr...

Hello I got mine here: https://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/home.php?cat=611 Bright as you like (can see them in the daytime!) - the only thing is that the dimmer doesn't work, but a small price to pay IMO.

Ok, I dunno if this is asking in the right section, but does anyone know of a company that will use my old bonnet, make a mold and make me a bonnet in Carbon Fibre good enough for road use?

Hehe yeah,that and sweating I don't catch the paint

Thanks mate, she's gettin there....slowly
