Well stage one of the subtle mods for my car is complete. Got the car back from the bodyshop on Monday and am very pleased with the results. If anyone needs any work done in the SE London area I can definately recommend 'Warren Coachworks' in Bexleyheath, top lads and the price wasn't bad either. Colour match and finish is perfect.

I have taken some pictures but must apologise for the quality of them. It's my new digi camera and I haven't really sussed out how to use it properly yet. The fact that the sun was going down and the car wasn't fully clean (just threw a few buckets of water over it!) didn't help either.

Here's the pics of how it looks at the moment:

And how it was previously:

-------------------------------------------

I still have a few things planned for the bodywork. Namely sorting the holes where the missing foglights are, fitting some Irmscher mirrors and a few other subtle mods.

I have the suspension sitting at home, just waiting for my new wheels to arrive, which I have been told are on back order and will take around 3-4 weeks! Apparently the factories in Europe don't work through the summer?!?!

Then it will be off to Courtenay Sport to have their Stage Three upgrade with VXR turbocharger and front mounted intercooler. Currently debating whether to add a Dbilas turbo manifold and cams to that.

Then finally, once I have purchased a 7-seater for daily use and for the girlfriend to drive, I will be stripping the interior out completely and fitting a rollcage and a couple of bucket seats.

Getting quite pleased with it. I was actually thinking about selling this, so glad I didn't now!

**Sorry for the mahoosive post**

18" Pro Race 1.2's like the ones on the new Astra 888 but in 'Racing Silver' £899 which I thought wasn't too bad as I upgraded to Toyo T1-R's all round. It was going to cost £799 but didn't fancy Marshall's.

id de-badge it and also get plain plates (ie.no badge and company on). other than that, will look very nice when wheels and suspension goes on

Looking good, simillar to mine (before the irmshir bits and gsi bumper) have debated weather or not to go down that route, but have decided i actually like it without spoiler etc, just going for subtle on mine. However you cant beat the gsi front on any mk 4 .
Nice, not sure about stripping out a coupe, but if thats what you wanna do...
Also cant decide wather or not to debadge, same with yours!

I know the wheels need cleaning, as did the car. Like I said (just threw a couple of buckets of water over it). Will clean the wheels once they are off as I am selling them.

As for your last comment in the sentence, you cease to suprise me.

You mean because it was parked on the Ferrier?

It was only there for 10mins, I never leave the car there for any longer.

The shite RR was putting my car out at 232bhp and 262lb/ft.

It's had a couple of bits from Courtenay so far, but the major bits are yet to come..
