Here is a little update. Smoothed sporting spoiler is back on. Hands Free kit fitted, frontsplitter attached to front bumper and angel eye headlights/6000K HID. Hopefully get this roof sorted somepoint. Here some pictures I took tonight.

Hope you guys like

that is looking stunning!

think it needs more low. Also might smooth my washer jets and possibly the door locks. Not sure as i dont want to give myself lots of more work lol. Glad you like it Mrcento

This is a Nice punto .. nice and suttle , Realy like all the work uve done but the only thing im not soo sure about is them Mrrors ,,, i think some standard ones would be better IMO

Brad DON'T lower the car anymore than you already have.
You were only just able to clear speed bumps at the Edinburgh meet.
You sort out the problem with Eleanor's lights??
Anyway looks good.

Dont listen to mr Monster truck ... , Slam it some more you can always lift it back up it is is to low

Or just plan your route around speed bumps

+ i dont think i have that much of a problem with speed bumps

James, the rear arches rub against the Tyres on Eleanor... how much lower dod you want it to go????

More camber , skinner tyres ? less wide wheels = can go more lows
or get the arches Rolled

Thanks ive rolled the arches but still has few scrubbing issues on the rear. Ive got a 5mm spacer on the back to make the BBS to sit flush against the rear drums. Going to try this sunday make the allow ore slighly bigger as without the spacer its around 3-4mm off sitting flush hence the 5mm spacer. The profile on the tires are 50. All the tires have pleny of tread so no point of changing tires just yet. Thinking

Remove 6x9 from parcel shelf fit standard shelf
Alfa Leather interior Black or Red
Rear bumper numberplate recess smaller to the size of the plate

Well a mini update not been on here in a while. Ive managed to remove my 5mm rear spacer. So the 35mm rear springs got whip off today and stuck the 50mm drop back on. Still scrubbing. so that needs to be addressed. Ive now mounted a set of washer jets on my scuttle so can now smooth off my jets off the bonnet.

Here are the jets


Some people have been messaging me about my interior and pics of the boot build. As promised

Looking good, all in the details

Lookin good Brad, Elanor looks good I mean.
As for wanting to remove the jets from the bonnet, I take it the scuttle from a GP wouldn't fit then?!?!
Otherwise that would look good on Elanor.
Nice sound system.
Now come to the Dundee meet for a Sound off.....

doubt it, for starters the GP is about a foot wider than a mk2 and has a totally different profile around the base of the bonnet and windscreen, its not normally a part thats very interchangeable between cars

Just wondered that was all.
So 1ft wider & about 1.5- 2ft longer?!?!

roughly, it's the same size as the older astra, all modern cars are now the same size as older cars a class above

for example, you used to get

city cars
cinqs, seis, charades, minis, ka, agila etc

superminis
fiesta, punto, corsa, 106, saxo, clio, yaris

small familys
Bravo, brava, focus, escort, astra, 306, xsara, megane

large family car
Mondeo, vectra, cavalier, 406, laguna, avensis, accord, 3-series

exectutive
5-series, e-class etc

large executive
s-class, 7-series

all would be the same size, nowadays though we have city cars the same size as large superminis of the 90's, superminis the same size as small family cars, the small family cars are the same size as large ones 10 years ago, and the large family cars like my mondeo are exactly the same size as teh bmw 5-series and merc e-class a few years ago

the roads havent got bigger though...

the jets ive mounted in the scuttle work perfect. Had to tweak them with a pin though to get them to spray correctly on the windscreen. Might come to Dundee see if im free

Would be good if you could....
But NOT on the Z1..... you might make it next year on that.... :laugh:

Thats the washer removed and the smoothing has begun. Will fill in some small stone chips on the front of the bonnet so it looks new again
