Daily run-about

the car originally:





started with some corsa sport stantard 3 spokes alloys



changed to these TSW freeze:





then bought a new backbox for £40 off ebay; a scorpion monza:




before:



fitted (not properly though):



Fitted an induction kit:

before:



after (with induction kit):



Then decided to lower the car, bought a new suspension kit, Spax -50mm VSX kit for £130 but unfortunately, the offset (ET38) of the TSW freeze would have caused a problem if lowered.

So went to halfords, argued/complained with them for wrong/misleading info and advice, got an exchange and some vouchers:D. Finally changed to some TSW pace ET42 alloys:



then lowered:

just after lowering:




fitted new badgeless grille:



then got some depo smoked headlights and new lights (thanks M15TXE):







smoked side repeaters followed:



de-badged:

from this:



to this:



got a new aerial and fiat marea wiper fitted, no pics though

not satisfied with the wheels, opted for a change and got some Speedline Mistral 7 off ebay for a bargain.Better looking and also better offset





started to repaint them:

washed with MrMuscle to remove dirt and grease ans started sanding to remove the scratches etc...







first coat of primer (testing)



more:



finally, after more sanding and smoothing, painted one steel grey:



But finally decided to go for matt black,laquered






and all fitted:







a new LAGUNA splitter fitted:







and a new OPEL grille:




As for the interior, some calibra leather seats:





and a new Momo RAce steering wheel and still waiting to fit all the Sparco pedals:





Engine:

there's a Adj Strut Brace fitted:




there's a de-restricted airbox back in place of the induction kit:










also have some 2l brake calipers fitted (not pics though)

that's it for now :)

planning on getting an A3 in the near future. Not bad in the 2 years I've been in the UK
:)
