nothing for 3weeks. last thing i put on was exhaust and ff sticker. just waiting on the tint spray to do the rear lights. looking to get some dtm mirrors when i get the spair money. thinking of leaving them black or getting the carbon fiber look ones. probs be better in black though. suit the car better.

If you want to go down this route you will need to change alot more... abs sensors, hubs and maybe driveshafts, wiring loom brake pipes etc etc..

And alot of effort for something that is barely used. I think not having ABS is fun :'D haha

will stick to none abs. seems to much effort just to have a lil extra brake power.

how about those alfa wheels that are in the classifieds section, theyre already black so you wouldnt have to spend money on spraying

rim tape for the red lip

Re: Out with the old, in with the new (my punto mk2a progress thread)

ok so with the money i have saved so far (was saving to get some cheep alloys or get windows tinted) but whilst just cleaning the car noticed the rubber on the wingmirrir has a rip in it and is peeling away (so all wires are visable).
so iv decided to get some dtm mirrors. but cant decide wat would look best. plane black, or carbon fibre. its not real carbon fibre but its only a quid more. but cant decide wat will suit my car best. any ideas?
