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! ..
Loocas mine are on the last thread front and rear, just sorted some new wheels which may look better slammed so i might take the rear cups out and the front helper springs and deck it :p has any1 found a solution to the drive shaft problem?

Cheers dav, don't know if iv got the balls to go on the last thread or not, I'm running 205/40/17 on an 8j all round so il see how I go, and I worked it all out, north west propshafts will make me a new shaft that's 25mm longer for around £120 which will most definitely cure the problem and should be fine at standard height also, I just havnt got round to getting it done yet :rolleyes:
 
Have you got the contact info/ emails between yourself and the company that can make the extended shafts so we can look into getting some made
 
its not that low in my eyes, used to be around 130mm but my driveshaft popped out twice as you say so, for now its a 110 and doing fine, in that picture of my first post it was at 90mm at the front but lower now!! :)
how low do the FK AK Street coilies go with the helper springs and adjusters in :)? really considering getting a set for myself :)!!

sorry for the late reply!.. i had my tjet dropped about 120mm.. helpers out with VXr topmounts..being honest, i had them on for around 6months, i took them off a few weeks ago as i'm selling up and they were completely ruined! no re-bound what so ever..personally i would spend more and buy better!
