Re: The new car!

not at the moment - was bidding on some abarth bumpers on the bay but got outbid - the seller was jippers.

I've fitted mk1 GT brakes now, and got new plates, but nothing major lol

I'm still paying off the car at the moment.

Re: The new car!

are the GT brakes better than standard ones? im guessing just the front?

Re: The new car!

you get ripped off if you go buy GT brakes, see the FAQs for loads of other cars that are the same

iirc the higher end model Bravo/Brava/Marea are the same - I had some PGT brakes from the old car lol

The fronts fitted fine - had EBC Green pads and new discs on the old beast, just repainted the calipers red.

Re: The new car!

as this has 69 replies, that's gotta be a bad thing...

not lowered yet, please don't bitch about it - cash flow is the issue... lol

Debadged the rear, given it a good old clean and fitted my GT front brakes I had on the old one... and with it my old euro plates.

Re: The new car!

nope, not chrome. They're the euro plates so they have the black line around the edge of the plate

Fitted them myself... took all of about an hour to do (had to drill holes in the back of the light casing for all of the wiring to pass through)

they weren't too bad at all tbh. Quite an easy fit tbh (and a bargain at £40 delivered!)
