Been out and about this morning so thought id take some more pics of the car seeing as i fiited the lamin-x to the rear lights and the smoked side indicators. And my new steering wheel, absolutely love it! feels soo much better to hold than my old plastic one not sure on the lamin x yet though think i may have gone too dark?







please excuse the gf's shocking pictures!

It actually looks pretty good in the flesh

Will reserve judgement on the lamin-x till I see it mate - doesn't look quite as I imagined it would I must admit!

I see but surely you didn't want it to look tacky, your car looks very classy now but that just looks like a corsa where you spray the centre bit some random colour for no reason..

PS i have a bora too

Few New Bits 03/10

Been snooping around ebay the last couple of days and ending up splashing some cash

First up, black r32 Richbrook tax disc holder to replace the crappy plastic thing i have now



Some new centre caps for my wheels, which im pretty sure im going to need refurbing now as theyre getting really bad. Just need to buy some new BBS centre badges after ive decided which ones to go for



And a Pipercross panel filter. The performance of my car is awful, and there is no way of making it go any better. The 1.6 has very few performance modifications and you wont see any real gains from anything you do, essentially money down the drain.

But hopefully this will make me fell better and in my head ill have +50bhp





Will get some pics tommorow of my H.I.Ds and the car cleaned, and add pics of parts when they come and i can be bothered to fit them

Cheers mate.

Well, had a few crap days with the car. Firstly, i tried to fit the air filter but as soon as i removed the engine cover you could see it was too small, so im going to try and exchange that



Then i got down the bottom of my road last night and it lost all power and the engine management lights came on. So now getting that towed to a garage on Monday to get fixed and MOT'd more moneys!

Just a few pics from today anyway and of the tax disc holder

You sure you just didn't knock something when fiddling to do the air filter or something? May be worth checking.

Oh and MOT / HIDs - what you doing with them? Risking?

well i pulled it off again and checked if i'd knocked or disconnected anything but all seems ok? have a feeling it may be the coil pack?

im going to risk the HIDs, hopefully theyll be ok , just put my old number plates back on to be on the safe side

i just have a feeling this could be expensive
