i think you can get some ronal turbos for not so much more than 400 !

Just have a look around and find a set that tickles your fancy !

i can't take the side plastic strip of because at the front where the privious owner mnaged to rip it of, then stuck it back on, and where it came of theres no paint and starting to rust, so thats a no.

yeah clear indicators are next on my list.

(don't have enough money for coilovers (silly student :lol: ))



*can the standard springs be replaced with shorter ones to lower the car?*

cheers for the comments, keep them coming :wink:
