Car looks very good ! Much better with those white steelies than with the big blacked alloys imho !

Thanks, Alloys where the same size they just had silly tyres, i prefer the steelies.
I still want to lower it but i may keep it as it is just to get me around for now.

Passed its mot with flying colors. Allowed 0.30 for CO2 got 0.02 with the 1.3 cams!

Started to open mouth the grille, i think the headlights need more black in them though. What is the legality with blacking of the mirrored section on the front indicators, much like Daniels?

Also this is the remains of a Bently that our college have been slowly destroying.

Think I'm gonna re-paint the inside of the headlights and i could have a free polo splitter lined up.

Lowered! took me good few hours to do and the front needs a little more lowering but its done and i'm happy.
Pictures tomorrow.

I WILL be back...
Looking good mate, and I have to say that it's always nice to see ones own car mentioned in relation to a modification someone does on their own car :grinning:. As for the legality, I haven't had any problems with it. I've got really bright side lights and indicators, so you can still see them clearly, even during the day (Y)

Hmm i may re-do it then, i painted the inside of them ages ago but i avoided all the reflectors just incase haha.
I love your car Daniel its just so pretty.

It's definitely worth doing, makes it look really tasty (Y). And thanks, just a shame it'll be gone in about a months time :(

lookin good davey (Y) you did,nt go for the 4 coils then :wasntme:

Bloody good thing i didn't! That's a 60mm drop already if I'd gone 4 i think my sump would have become my suspension haha.
Front springs are still captive, just, rears need some work but there ok as long as i don't jack it up.

Now i need something to straighten the pan hard. (Bushes please Fank :p.)

Hi, davey

I'm very happy for you :) Car looks great! Lowering it made a hell of a difference (Y)(Y)(Y)

Keep up with the good work!

Btw, what do you think about clear side repeaters? It would match very well your white wheels and the red color...

I'd go for it peposhi :grinning: Well, i did it on mine :upside:

Also think them white/clear indicators give a good contrast even when on winter tyres

Lots of visual changes now, Steelies are gloss black, side repeaters are the same, headlights have been redone with the complete side reflector painted.
I have a set of franks bushings but there is no way in hell my panhards coming off.
Edit: Was about to go take photos and low and behold down poor....

Maybe put the jack between the panhard rod and axle to press it off the bush, then get the bush friendly with the angle grinder to remove that?

its just the axle end you take off eh davey :)
Z,s was the first one i have done where the bush actually came off lol, then you just refit it without the washer and lever the rod off the bush.
all the others i have done left the bush seized on its stump, and had to grind the side of the bush down till it split open

Need to get rid of the side stripe gunk but hazaa!
Deffinatley needs more front lows and some spacers.

Looking good. No spacers needed , cross Frank's palm with silver for some reverse rimmed/re-offset steels (Y)

Does your Tow sticker on the back point to the exhaust, rather than the tow hook?
