time for an update after 7 months of owning my first car
some of you may recognise it from when i first introduced myself-
if not, check it out anyway..

its running well and im still keeping it clean and well looked after
bought some DEPOs from egay a few weeks ago-
cost me £50 inc postage, thought it was a bargain and glad i treated myself
deffo give the front a much harder look- and give it a very subtle mod (which is all im after)

here it is lol

BEFORE (december 2005)


AFTER DEPO (april 2006)






quite pleased with the DEPO fitment, quite snug with no obvious gaping


behold the wonder that is.. the C12NZ lol









happy with my car now, after all the work ive put into it getting and keeping it clean
i only want to perform subtle mods- already added a GSi spoiler, smoked DEPOs, K&N for sound etc

going to keep it mint, bulid up my no claims.. then throw a silly engine in it lol
cheers

mounted the cone filter on the airbox, because it makes it so much louder (and thats all im after)
kept the airbox in place because it looks shoot without it on my car
i can also just reconnect it if i wish. not afraid to step out of line and try something different

thanks d_jay50

tbh, im not so fussed with wheels and lowering at the min
i would really love some black wheels, but id have to lower it otherwise it would look gash lol
as you can see from my driveway, lowering would kill it
(if my tyre pressures get too low, my CAT scrapes the path big style)

thanks for the compliments, it certainly wasn't that clean when i bought it lol

DEPOs are good for what they are
for the price they cost, you cant go wrong-

they;re very subtle anyway- so its hard to distinguish loads of difference lol

C12NZ, 1.2 8v with the distributor cap
slow as feck, but its better than walking haha

the K&N is nice, got it for £10 from a mate
sounds extremely loud on induction- chavs often turn round and expect to see a big bore exhaust
