i know :,) my dad is not for buying me any though :/ so i have to wait till i pass my test and can buy myself some coilies. he thinks if i lower it i will crash and die! theres been loads of people crashing around my area and there cars have all been lowered.  i have tried to explain to my dad that if there car wasnt lowered they properly would have crashed a few corners back aha, but once i pass and he doesnt have to come in the car anymore i will be getting it down!

get an espace splitter! be abit different to everyone else, but i do warn you! when you come to lowering the car, be careful cos the espaces splitters will make your car look low from the front as it is now! haha

cleaned the car today then went down the road to the youth club to take some photos for you guys! i bet your all sick of all my pics being in my garden ahaa (hate being a learner)  
 
so this was the first photo.. 
  
as you can proberly tell i aint no expert on how to get a good looking photo :L epic fail with that one 
 
they did get better though    
  
  
 
and a quick one of the back   
  
 
hopefully over time i will learn how to take a decent photo and when i pass my test i have a fair few places i would like to go to take photies

Looks good, still smaller tyres in order   
 
You'll have enough in that tub to underseal the whole car as I did mine   get the whole underneath mint

thanks! yeahh will be undersealing everything underneath when i get a few days where i dont need to take the car out   im a massive fan of the black on blue so im going to keep handles etc black :,) i was thinking about converting rear wiper to a fiat punto one, there cheap and are a straight swap also will make the rear end look a bit more modern

so after replacing driveshaft and cv joint its still clicking, replaced discs and pads aswell, just done front springs and rear shocks, and now we just discovered that the steering rack is nakerd :@ turning right is hard and turning left is easy! had nothing but problems with this car so far, got a noisey arse wheel baring which makes the loudest humming noise i have ever heard in my life! covers the sound of my exhaust, and the clicking i had before i replaced driveshaft is still here and getting worse :S coming from the same side :S we are seriously considering of getting rid of the thing
