Hey all,
am a newbie on here! been driving my 5 for a couple of months and liking it,so have modded bits and pieces but want to tidy it up.
firstly,was wondering where I can get a new front and rear bumper as mine are stuffed(garage made a mess of the hole to take my exhaust,and fronts got mould over it)
also I need some other interior bits that arnt normal service consumables.
also, any pics of some standard modded 5's would be great as I have wanted to lower mine 35mm front,and 45mm rear and get some larger wheels, but larger wheels that were stock on another car such as a laguna,etc.Is this gonna look stupid?
so far the list is: pipercross induction, big bore exhaust,all exterior trim sprayed black (want to get powdercoated black) interior dash and panels blackened and acoustic carpet used selectively.I have a leather gear gaitor,blue gear knob,black mats with blue footplates,cd player and 6x9's in custom mdf parcel shelf,also carpeted.
the car dosent look bad,but being lowered and some bigger wheels I think it would handle better as well as look better. any suggestions welcome,am gonna get some piccies tomoro! |

Ill remember that dan! that one on ebays alrite, but im talking about slight modification - keeping the original bodywork,but lowering the car,tinting windows,some nice alloys,spaced out nicely,with clean bodywork.
Im thinking of getting all the plastic bodywork powdercoated black to make it tidier. |
