hi all

havent been online in a long time... small changes have happened since i was last on......

- ice install: two 12" pioneer 1000watt subs powered by a 2000watt amp (which is going to be ripped out soon)
- led dim lights
-replaced the clutch and serviced her couple of hundred miles ago

i hate to abuse my baby but certain situations call for a different style of driving and to this day she has impressed me and will continue to do so...

some of the bad points
as i have spent 90% of my time at uni my beloved hasnt been looked after...
my rear washer pump has seezed,
boot lock has a mind of its own
central locking stopped working till i swapped the drivers side lock with passenger one..(right pain that was)
some f****r keyed my front passenger door
front passenger wheel has been curbed
scartched my rear bumper when installing the subs :(
oh and drivers side window has stopped working
my floor and seats had been destroyed due to my car bieng used as a skip

but dont worry guys..... my baby is on her way back to glory...

whats in store:::
-just had full interior valet done, seats look brand new :D
-overall of ice.. every speaker upgraded
- HIDs to be ordered and hopefully fitted this week
- springs to be ordered *30mm drop*
-seat cupra front spoiler to be ordered..

currently that is all i can afford otherwise i would have had her smoothed out and resprayed her the scratches are awful and on the rear bumber the paint is flaking...

NOW heres a problem i face.. seen some porsche d90 replicas four stud but being a newbie i have no idea about fitments etc can anyone help??? all i know about these alloys is that they include tyres, they are polished ones, but could do with a vigorous clean

hoping to have her at edition 38 or ill just bring my smart.. :D

pictures to be uploaded soon!

i was annoyed when ma car was keyed... i parked it... walked out of the car park.. and turned back.. and saw that some prick had done that...


oh yeah also when it snwed in january kinda smashed my drivers side mirror.. not the glass but the actual housing... so if anyone got one lying around.. il be more than happy to take it.. :D...

coming back to the wheels... was at a mates yesterday saw that there was something shiny under a blue sheet... and there they were.. along with a collection of different 14" and 15" alloys... but my eyes fell on these..

also how do i upload pictures?

30MM DROP ?????

dont do it its like getting a breast reduction... pointless these things sit like double decker busses, i dropped mine around 100mm maybe more take a look... but if you drop it 300mm i guarentee in less than 6 months you buy coileys !!!!

What standard SE wheels?

Does look good lower but would look 3 times better with a nice set of aftermarket wheels.
