Ive taken your advice shaun and im going to try get the dents out myself using these dent remover kit.
Some NOS would be nice but the poor 1.0 engine will prob explode :laugh:
Dan, if you lowered yours any more the sump'd be sparking along the ground :laugh:.
Yeah, I noticed how low my sump is when I raised the car up today to start removing my air-con :laugh:. I reckon if I made up a few more exhaust brackets to hold the midpipe up a bit more, I could chop off another coil on each corner and have the front splitter about 1cm off the ground. euro_micras' facelift K11 is lower than mine though, but he's on coilies. Think he dropped it 6 inches on each corner before he put the Capri alloys on. Now that's low (Y)(Y)
Cheers for the comments, will start on the tinting the rear windows black over the weekend.
Dan: Do you have a link to pics of your car so i can see how your grill looks? Also like the idea of spraying the inside rim of the headlights. Does anyone know if this is hard to do??
R-ReG-SR: i will get more picks up after weekend after i get the windows tinted.
Induction kit looks good mate (Y). How did you do your mesh? Makes me want to mine as well, including the lower part :grinning:
Looks good (Y) The mesh is quite wide, do you think you could possibly get a few stones flying up and damaging the rad? then again there's not much protection on the stock front end thinking about it.
Nope... it's held together with a stubborn silicone of sorts.I wouldn't have thought the headlights are massively hard to do. I need to do mine at some point as well. Presumably if you remove the headlight completely, and take off the 4 clips around the outside, it should just come apart.

The four metal clips are just extra support.
need to take off the clips and then use a heat gun whilst the lights are on the car (saves you time and having to take everything off.)
or take it off and heat in an oven. then prise it apart. be careful of the glass though it does chip quite easily.
There is a guide here:

Yes indeed! need to do the SR's headlights soon aswell miss the super s ones i had...Yeah, I found this out when I eventually came to do mine. Although all I had was a hair dryer, but it still did the job :laugh:. But you have to be careful when heating the glue though - too little heat and you can crack the glass when you try to prise it apart (as the glue is incredibly strong), too much heat and you can melt the plastic backing. It is worth it though, because it does look quite good when finished. Gives it a slightly more "aggressive" look :grinning:
You're car is looking awesome mate, really loving what you've done to it, especially with the headlights and alloys. Lowering next eh? :grinning:
Arrg, I really wanted to buy those Alloys too but I was too late by the time I saw them listed :doh: They look great btw (Y)...Finally i picked up the alloys from ElmoK11 who sold me his 15" Advanti Alloys which i think are awesome, cheers ElmoK11! Hes breaking his K11 so if you need any parts give him a shout:
