Got the car back last Saturday but been busy with work so haven't had time to update.

Really pleased with the car and the service from Andy down at Low Standerd Designs, highly recommended :)

Some pics, not the best due to them being taken from my iphone :(

Everyone loves a 3 wheeler ;)

The rear sits really well but these pictures don't show it really. I need to role my front archs and slightly modify arch liners because when I air out its catching inner lips of the arch and resting on arch liners!

Next in line is body work but gonna be in the new year before show season. Gotta save up due to Christmas coming up, having a big family and a girlfriend so not good :(

Well today I took a trip down to Swindon to pick up next years wheels from Emma on here.

They're RSL Cults 14x7 et15 and 14x8 et20.

Today she went into winter mode :(

P slots are now on and spaced out but on the upside she's sitting lower air'd out ;)

(Please excuse how dirty she is)

While I was putting the p slots on I thought it would be rude not to trial fit the cults, only tried out the one 8j on the rear and was very pleased :)

Also the other week I was cleaning out my garage and found a jet wash which had been in there for months so ordered myself a snow foam lance.

Wheels are now fitted :D

Had a problem when one wheel decided to leak air when fitting yesterday but got it re-sealed today so. All is good :)

Some pics but not the best as on my iphone and was getting dark :(

Really liking how it sits but the rear end is slightly higher as it's sitting on the tyre wall but gonna play about with the camber :)

Also my gti wiper arms came and looked abit dull:

So as soon as they arravived I took them in the garage and sanded them down and started painting and finished them today.
