Finally I have put some work into my car, as stated above i purchased the exhaust and from day one, my plan of getting some bbs's has now finally been completed. The exhaust gives the car a nice tone, and i am pleased with the purchase although i may consider purchasing a straight through so i can get lower on the back (see pic)

So here is how my car is sitting right now!

In the next few weeks i will be buying a new set of coilovers and the back will be dropping as much as i can but obviously with the exhaust on i dont think i will be able to get extremely low.

After exterior has been completed i will be challenging my interior so keep an eye on this thread!

Thanks matty

I kinda agree tbh, when i bought it i wasnt expecting it to be as big as it is, also noise wise its abit over what i wanted.. Send me a link to your exhaust and what sort of price are you after?

looking good :) i like the exhaust :P only coz im fan of chavy sounding cars with massive exhausts and that i have the same one on mine :P

Haha yeh :), Cheers for the info again buddy! hows your car going ?

This is looking pretty tasty :D

2 months has passed Christmas has been and gone and i now have my 1 years NO CLAIMS!! YAY me. Also just gave the car an MOT and it failed for emissions and a lower arm, got these issues fixed and re insured and back on the road :).

Before Christmas i noticed the top mounts on Aro where broken so i got them fixed and all the rattles which i had before where eliminated, i was so happy because they were really annoying I had been cleaning the car a lot and keeping the BBS shiny, i asked for an electric car polisher for Christmas to make my cleaning a lot easier as to no shock at all my Nan and granddad spoilt me rotten with cleaning bits, so ill be very shiny for a while.

In the corner you can see a steam cleaner, it actually cleans the interior (apparently) so ill be giving it a go as soon as i get a free weekend or couple days to crack on with it, as a tester i did one of the back seats and it worked very well however i think i will be getting VAX washer as it will be much easier to use and probably leave the seats a lot cleaner.

Im yet to try out the car polisher but i will be giving it a shot in the next few weeks, waiting for the rainy weather to go, i also got some spacers and put the on, there is a little bit of poke but not as much as i was expecting:

excuse the glove on the door panel to stop the rattling :D

Nice Mk1 mate :thumbsup:

Cheers mate :), your car is an inspiration, so nice !

Nice!!

Thanks :)

Just had a read through your thread, looking good mate! Will definitely have the 'Mmm' factor if you lower it further and get spacers on.

How's the interior coming along? :)

Thanks mate! and yeah i did have spacers on the rear but i need to get the arches rolled as when i had one person in the back it was rubbing, I will definatly be rolling them soon ! The interior is pretty standard at the moment, i am hiring a vax cleaner to clean the seats and head liner in the next few weeks, ive got a double din head unit and some fli door speakers but i really would like leather seats but i am saving for a lupo gti so when i get that i will get the seats :)
