hey ppl.
since my gsi went ive been playing around abit with the wifes car.
its a 1.2i 8v merit. used 2 look like this:
it now looks like this :
so far i have fitted a badgeless grill, JR's old 15" sxi wheels and the newest mod yesterday is a new powerflow cat-back system. its a nice rumble and nothing loud to keep her quiet lol
still to do on the list is corsa sri interior (collecting tomorrow), euro front bumper which im spraying atm, smooth there rear bumper, respray the bumpers and arches in std grey, replica gsi skirts, debadge the rear, lower it and fit the spoiler off my old gsi
what are peoples veiws on it so far.
its still along way off but its getting nearer every day
cheers
james

cheers ppl. she wants it subtly moddified but wants it 2 look std from a distance. have just given the bumper a quick coat of paint.
if it woz my car i might swap the wheels but the gf likes them.soz
the exhaust isnt that loud really coz its got a cat still and its only a little 1.2i lol.
would fitting a sri manifold, downpipe n cat on it make ne difference n gettin a decat made up aswell?
