Think it was just on its way for a while, but a bit of a blast down the motorway then coming of a slip road and round a few roundabouts threw the gears seemed to do the trick :lol::thumbs:

Yeah, black cars always look good with colour coded bumpers, get the handles done at the same time and bumpstrips if your keeping them :thumbs:

Hello, A little thread on my car 'Fef'.

Well this is how i bought her. V reg 1999 1.2 Sxi with 60k on the clock :)





Then next i got offered some 16" BK Racing wheels, So i thought id have them :lol:





It needed lowering, looked like a monster truck. So one day got round to my mates house with a flat drive and got it slammed -60mm on Gmax Shocks and Apex Springs.



Then got a De badged Grill of the bay.



Then got vectra handles.



So then she stayed like this for a while, some clean pics of her.







Then got some Depo Smoked Lights.



And how she stands now.








And finally i got some new i.c.e the other week.



Hope you like :thumbs:
