How much did you have to pay the mot tester not to fail it

 

[tempz]

£40 and it was not a fake test she was being poked for an hour

Sounds like a good spend of £40 ... To get that sort of treatment up here you have to pay a lot more

Ok Guys So its been a few months since i bothered to update anything.

Seemingly shes now rocking her winter look and hating every minute of it. Decided on taking my Coils off for over the winter purely down to the fact that they are seized at the bottom, So i got some new struts off s4p and swapped them back over onto my eibachs and my 15s standard winter wheels.

Its oddly good to be able to not worry about speedbumps and pot holes for a few months anyways,

Im starting to think about my plans for her next year.

At the moment i think that her blue chequers will be coming off, kinda wanna see what its like without them on. The wheels really need to be refurbed before the start of the season and the interior still needs to be retrimmed.

im just hoping that she will hold out and let me do it, rather than break on me. Getting an intermittdant EBD and ABS failure at the moment but i think its being narrowed down to one of the sensors round the wheels.

Jodie you said your having problems with ABS??

might be an idea; https://www.fiatforum.com/grande-pu...water-ingress-corrosion-connection-block.html

Ok so its been a few months but I'm back out to work on her, pictures coming later this weekend.

Should be picking the headlining up and getting that back in tomorrow.

I'm not putting her coils back on yet and tbh still undecided on her white wheels going back on, i'm not convinced that the snow has gone yet!

But she is getting a bath at moment for the first time since about September shes utter filth!

Nice one Jodie looking forward to the pics and the update, it is also nice to hear from you.

P.S. its just started to lightly sleet here in Gateshead!

 

[tempz]

Ok so shes back on her summer wheels and had a bath!

You may notice that the side chequers have been removed going back to just the white look!

I have also redone the black vinyl, and put a badgeless upper grille on along with my pressed plates which have been in the boot for near 10 months lol!

I've had the ABC Pillars and head lining done in black Reuuk has a pic of this took yesterday.

At the moment i am undecided whether to return to coilovers or leave em with my sportlines, so shes not back on her arse atm but you never know, part of the reasoning is i live on a new estate which doesn't have the best roads and i don't fully know the area to be able to avoid bumps so we shall have to see.

Hi Jodie, Casper is looking absolutely lovely . Really do like this GP alot. For what it is worth I would have the sportlines on.

Dont get me wrong i like her on sports but she has that little summit more on coils i just dunno

 

[tempz]

Ooh i have abarth rears on aswell i almost forgot

 

[SJB1985]

I agree Jodie its just that with the coils on and being that bit lower it can cause the car trouble and can be more hassle than it is worth!

Thanks Jordan

I like to try and change it up and th chequers well they were last years look, I'm excited though to bring her back to just white I reckon her original look only better never fails

 

[Wisey]

Not offended at all. Red wing mirrors are classy in my book

Casper is looking slick. Hoping i'll be seeing her again at the meets soon enough, as twice now at Trafford you've been there but in the wrong car (IMO)

 

[tempz]

I wont be at the next un but i'll be at the one after with her
