I rather like the 16v lol lets people no its a 16v ;) ha. i lost the black blades and im skint :( yea its look okay =) .. Could be better :( with splitter and lowerd and some nice side skirts hint hint dan ;)
 
fine fine you win again! i will remove it on the weekend :). i think you should remove them if im honest, would look so much better on mine. well as you no its my birthday in 2days so i will have a spare bit of cash so im going to pop down get a splitter and saving up from some 50mm lowering springs from mat humpries :) what you think daniel lol. ? oh and also come on msn :D
 
good idea :) megane front splitter is what you want, same as raceworx's ;) my badges where removed when swiper had the car...even the play boy bunny from the boot thank god!

oh happy birthday :) incase i forget in 2days! lol
 
yea i love raceworx old car :) i just wish it was 1.3 mine haha! :) owell need cheap insurance for abit.

you must not forget my birthday is important since i wont be receving a card a forum devoted to alex now being on road learning to drive will do fine haha!
 
Well since i have done nothing to my blog for a while i had to think of stuff to do to my car so, today i debadged the stupid 16v sign :) (although need help on how the bloody hell you get the celebration sign of the back?) I also bought some clear side repeaters from halfords ment to be universal but are to small :S argh! so have to get some diffrent ones! i will get some pics up asap!

Very nice, the only question I have with this sort of setup, where the hose comes from the rocker cover and enters the induction kit, is there a filter inside to prevent engine rubbish entering the engine?
 
no phill they aint mate ronin_kid put a post up i think on my blog with this kind of filter that would go in the kinked pipe to stop all the oil etc going into the throttle body
 
Well i havent added to my blog for a while so i thought i would put up some nice boring pics of my lowering springs i got :) not fitted yet. :(. Although i was suprised they are black :).. Also have two home made compressors so lets hope i keep my fingers when i try to fit the springs :).

(sorry about bad pics, i have craked my lense :( bad times)

good luck on fitting the springs. take a pic before and after. (Y)
 
I'd be concered about using those compressors...mine are slightly more hooky and even those have escaped a couple of times. Which aint nice.

Doesnt mean they wont work, but id keep an eye or two on them :)
 
Well not had an update in ages!! :O got my springs fitted look so good im happy :) will get some pics up tommorow weather is crap today. :(
 
Okay got bord so took some bad pics, which do not do it justice.. :( well it looks abit lower but hopeing it will get abit lower when the springs settle :).
