Hi all! Havent updated on here for a while because I haven't really done much else to the loop but I've got plans ready for winter... Wether I go through with them or not all depends on my cash flow as it's mainly bodywork changes. Anyways here are some pictures of how the loop stands at the moment after a good clean... Then it rained... typical!

I would like to get some opinions on these bumpers that I am looking at aswell... Probly wont be to everyone's taste but I like them and theyre different. I was just wondering if they would be difficult to fit as theyre aftermarket.

Recent update...

I was driving yesterday to my house and noticed a nasty smell... smelt like my clutch was burning but it felt fine and didnt smell anything after that so I took no notice until I smelt it again today and felt the steering wheel was pulling to the left... which I know that my left caliper has recently started sticking... so I gathered my caliper has seized and the pad was getting very hot causing the smell so I pulled over as Ive heard it can set on fire! So the front pads, discs and caliper and being replaced!

Update... Replaced the caliper today... the old one put up a fight to get off as it was stuck on lol! Braking feels so much better now and feels like my car can move freely unlike before it felt like there was a weight slowin it down :)

Thanks mate... Theres still a few minor things which need sorting over winter and the wheels are actually up for sale but I prefer to swap as it saves the effort of finding some :) I went with purple because everyone does yellow and black *boreeeee*

Out of a can? Then lacquered on top? Thinking of getting white primer and the Lupo Flash Red so it really stands out bright. And doing similar bits to you. Reckon that'll work?

Na was done with a spray gun.... would look nice :) I really like red cars especially when the paint is perfect :)

*Update*

So I decided to get my sub fitted as I couldnt sell it for the price I wanted. My mate fitted it for me as he's the bass geek and done an amazing job setting it up and getting it to look tidy :) Really pleased with how it sounds aswell for a sealed box... Im using a good quality 4awg wiring kit with the terminals grinded down to fit the amp as the 4awg terms are alot bigger then the amp ones... Ive got the audio bug now so I want to upgrade everything and hopefully have my mate design a box for me with a 12" DC Level 5 sub running off a Sundown amp and 0AWG wires but for now this will do as I can get the air shifting on a decent song and the interior shakes like mad :P I will upload pictures of it when I get them off my phone!

Sadly I hit a pothole the other week and now the stereo has no power going to it from the ACC wire so Im driving without music until my uncle sorts it out :(

Also my car wouldnt start the other morning when it was cold so got the RAC out to test the battery and it needed replacing so got a Lion battery

Sorted all my receipts Ive had since Ive owned the car aswell... was shocked how many there was!
