Hello Alllllll ! please read =]

how you doinnnng people? lol i havent posted a thread on here in ages...been too long! just a lil news...my cinq has just had its head gasket replaced and a new cam belt !!! cost me(altogether) 130 pounds! haha kit from a local dealer near me called 'parrs' cost me 50 smackers! paid my mate 50 pounds to do it for me :P and to get my head skimmed 30 pounds...so well chuffed with that 1, had oil change ect ect...running nice and smooth, anyway....now the styling! i dont know if u can remember but i posted up pics of 'Team Dyanmics' alloys that i brought off ebay a good year back now! n that i was goin to spray them matt black, i did that in the end! brought them! had troubles with the offset n rubbin on the back arch, so decided to buy some spacers off ebay 32mm ones! WIDE look haha...but unfortunatly the spacers i brought wasnt hubcentric! big no no...garage said they would not fit them, due to it being too unsafe...oh dear! haha so iv decided.....

spray my standard cinq alloys matt black??

iv done a few small mods to the car....smoothing and spraying

i got myself a genuine Abarth Spoiler....sprayed matt black and fitted...

iv sprayed my wind mirrors matt black...

im going to spray my front grill on my front bumper...err...matt black? haha

recently smoothed off my boot and rear bumper! looks pretty good for a home made job tbh!

but less of the text and s**t lol...

i realised my cinq has already been lowered 40mm by my previous owner? but 40mm doesnt do it for me :P

i want to go LOWER! 60mm?? but as its still my first car.....i dont want to spend too much money on the car...just incase i cant get the money back for it! :P

im sitting on standard cinq alloys 155/65/13... (155 i want wider ! haha, has anyone tried 175's on a cinq??)

has anyone got pics of lowered cinqs 60mm?? (iv seen a couple in other threads buttt lol any moreee? lol)

and any pics of black standard alloys on a yellow cinq??

many thanx for listening peopleeeeeee

What a load of crap!

Any mod visual or not should be declared.

The alloys, spoiler should be declared as they are aftermarket products and werent standard from the factory as well as impending lowereing springs

People like above are why my insurance has risen slightly this year!

Endsleigh allow free visual mods. Don't know if they need to be declared but yea, I guess they might not need to be if they are free anyway.
