Spent my Saturday.... (with Pics)

de bump striping my car :D Looks much better now I cant believe I left it so long.
Plans over the next few week include getting it lowered more on the front, getting my RH AD cups on, getting a scrape and a small rust patch sorted and getting handles colour coded.
Didn't get any pictures as it was hammering down with rain, but will get some today hopefully.

those look like brand spankintg new alloys on it as it is! why would you want anything else?? Though the dish on those RH's is fairly sexy it must be said...

Taking the side strips off is always a winner!

Well the back two are in pretty good condition but the front two are badly marked but not that bad considering they have been on the car for 2 years. Thanks for comments guys. Oh i forgot to mention while the front is going down the back are going to be spaced 15mm. Wont be possible to space the front.

Looks good mate. I'd love to de bump strip mine but i'd be too scared of leaving it in a car park like I was with my Type R. I cringe when I see a people carrier full of kids :shock:

Yeah I always park as far away as possible from cars I see child seats in. Thing is though, the bump strips don't seem to stop alot of the marks from people opening their doors into you. They stop mars from opening your doors into walls etc

Especially some 4X4's, The doors are higher than the bump strips!

Or your bump strips get covered in dinks! :x

Yeah will be getting tyres on the rims towards the end of the week. There is a red polo with them on on pistonheads. I will be putting 15mm spacers on the back but I doubt I'll put the back down any further.
Cheers for the responses guys. :D
