Barnsley-Arosa Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 (edited) Right then heres my thread.Bought the car August '09 and it looked like this...Got it home (Bought it in Blackburn and I live in Barnsley) gave it a wash and a good fettling on the inside and the outside came up quite well bearing in mind this is my first car etc.First mod was new wheels among the other little bits; picked up a bargain from a local scrapyard and bought these for £60Then sent them off to the refurbers (Metal Magic Barnsley highly recommended!) and they came back like this new tyres on aswell, stubby aerial on aswell instead of the antenna to call mars that it came with.Didnt do much for a while then apart from service and MOT and debadged rear however no photos of that, and saved up for christmas . Gave it a wash and wax about a month back though and came out shiney in time for a local meet.Then came the SNOW!!!CLUB LUPO windscreen ftw!however even though the snow came it still needed cleaning more than ever. Private plate on now aswell And thats it so farThanks for looking any and all comments welcome.

Little Green Giant Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 could you not do them yourself? a garage would charge between £30-£50 a corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnsley-Arosa Posted January 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 thought they were quite hard to fit would any garage fit them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
