Planned mods (subject to change due to current lack of a job):


Blue sidelights

and whats with this unhealthy obsession people have with my handbrake do you all want it up your jacksy or something?


:nutter:
your hand brake is very wrong Carl, way to high. Needs adjusting or maybe replacing cables.

If it was my car on your drive id park it in gear and put two clicks on the hand brake.
 
stop wasting money on pointless things when you could be buying alloys:rolleyes:

stupid badges
vinyl which im sure you have bought before.
leather gaiter for gear knob and hand brake
steering wheel
wheel trims
stickers.....

the list can go for nearly every mod on your car TBH. I would say angel eyes are the only mod the rest of it i class as fannying around.

start saving

nah audio next im hoping. depends how bored i get saving up before i go and buy something else.

realistically rear lights and grills are next.

hmmm:
right got some plans for the future and un like rolf i will actually do them:p

cream chequers on the roof and wing mirrors.

cream alloys and chequered centre caps.

lower 50mm

bonnet and boot smoothage maybe.

:D

finished any of that yet?
 
in one day i fitted and aligned my headlights, did a final coat of lacquer and fitted my badges, cleaned and fitted my new wheel trims, removed the punto badge and removed my old sidestripes. then the following day spent an hour and a half cleaning it which i rushed.

.....and how many months talking about it prior to you actually doing it??

That handbrake of your DOES need adjusting, there is a chance you will run out of reserve travel allowing it to hit the stop before the brake actually applies. Incidentently this condition will lead to an MOT failure.
