I thought about doing the bumper tuck myself until I removed the trim strip. Long short, I changed a lot of things in the end over a period of 5 years so far. Car currently has or will have - Carbon roof, manual windows, Tillett carbon shell seats, fully debumpered, screw-in tow eyes, Hella 80mm fixed position projector headlamps x4, modified Serie Speciale air dam, customised series 1 indicators, custom grille, horn outlets blanked off. I also got rid of the original open diff, gearbox internals bar 5th, distributor, speedo cable drive, fuel system, inlet and exhaust manifolds, camshaft, tach, speedo, wheels, and a ton of redundant wiring. Fitted instead : Jenvey 40mm individual throttle bodies, Bosch wasted spark ignition, Omex stand alone ECU, Bacci lockers, Bacci close ratios, Bayless high pressure fuel tank, Kent cam & adjustable pulley, custom exhaust, custom inlet, big valves, 11:1 compression, flowed head, portmatched, lightened and balanced rods, crank, flywheel, fly cut pistons, Image billet ultralite rims, Gaz coilivers, Faulkner springs, SPA tach and speedo, Sassone clutch.

@@ELDESTBuilds hope you get inspired and yes, imo white is the best colour for an X1/9, I'm envious because in the UK white was an option and it's very rare to find a late production example in white.

good improvement, is the a/c any good on these cars?

This one was blowing 48° at the vents on a 100+ day. Right up to the time I blew the head gasket. Not related to the a/c just a 40 year old gasket.

Not sure what you are trying to do. What do you mean “tucking” the front bumper

I believe your answer is in the video

So I know you also did it in the 124-the drilling I meant-question is: could I do to the 124 what you did here? Drill them in place?

You can do it this way on the 124. I just did it the hard way that time.

It's not long enough to interfere

Could you do the rear bumper the same way.
