Welcome!

Loved the car in the first set of pics, but that bumper you stole from the starship enterprise just doesnt go (even when painted).

Get some standard ph2 coded bumpers, perhaps a 16v bonnet, and if you must, lower it, but no more than 40mm and you will have a 19 to be proud of.

No, trust me - it will still look shit. You're setting foot on the slippery slope that ends with a prime spot on www.barryboys.co.uk and people (including me) laughing at the car in the street.

Lose the comedy bumper mate, pronto. Spray up your standard one or put on a valver one and it will look quite smart.

its not perfect . . yet.

drivers side wing has a ripple along the top from where MOT testers have bounce tested it over the years so thats to be replaced soon.
the passenger side door has a hole in it where the lock used to be from where some chav attempted to break into it.
i have a new door for the car and it will be fitted this weekend.
Drivers side rear arch has the demon rust taking hold but thats gonna be chopped out very soon and sorted.
Bonnet is also to be resprayed in the near future to rid it of stone chip damage.

Legend. Noticeable improvement? Or was it already lowered when you got it so you don't really know?
