it might not seem it yet but alot has been changed..
it looks the same because of having the same wheels but just stick around..

First thing i did was change the grill, i picked him up my bradford, 200miles away from home lol..that night i fitted my grill..the morning after i took all the stupid dealer stickers off and the punto badge aswell..used heat and a card to peel the letters off then a toffee wheel for the adhesive!..shiniest piece on my car now lol..

and de-tangoed my headlights

the next day i de-wipered the tailgate, this took the p*ss ..the wiper was seized on!!..took 30mins of continuous wriggling to pop it off..next drilled out the rivets and took the motor out and plugged it up!...love the look. no big plastic wiper. smoother

next i decided to do something about the front headlights so got in contact with lamin-x and they sent out a sample for me.. i decided to not waste it and tinted my rear badge with it.

Subcribe maybe? or stay intouch..much more to come at this point :)
any comments welcome! ..
^^ thats true! lol

and the roll cage has been delayed ye again.. i went an saw it last night and the colour was too dark!!.. i want a real candy red!..

im booked in for an exhaust on the 3rd and a remap on the 27 of march!..

subframe braces should come today and skid plates so i can go lower :)
 
I'm curious to know more about the skid plates, whereabouts on the underside are they going? I'd be happy with just one to replace the plastic engine undertray. Where are you getting them made? How much are they? Etc.



You saw mine fall off that time :D

Haha i sure did! Mine went long ago, useless even at standard height.
 
a mate who works at pro alloy is making it for me after he finishes work all last week and his week. basically its going to replace the original plastic sh**..
and the centre of it will go further back to cover the flex-pipe aswell

to be completely honest with you, its not going to be no where near a professional job. i bought a large sheet of aluminium chequer plate off ebay for 16squid, and pretty much just bolting it to the bottom lol.. if my car was standard height i wouldnt bother, but recently im scraping the subframe and exhaust alot! , so just a simple bodge job tbh lol
 
Hmm, bash some pics up when its done then.

Roads round here are awful, and dont fancying putting a sump on my mjet. Standard brace has took enough abuse.
