Im not happy with how it sits though. It has Apex suspension (was already on when I bought car) that i believe is 40/40. Would I be able to just whack some 60mm springs on the rear?
This is quite a good one of the bonnet
What size brake discs will I need to fill the wheels up a bit?
Reflectors are on ready for MoT
Also painted the engine cover recently (cant remember if I already posted pic or not)
Got its Mot next week so need to sort out some lights, though James has agreed to help me out, as mine are LHD
Just bought a Pipercross panel filter from Rimstyle and I am gonna drill the airbox.
When the weather starts to warm up next year me and Dad are going to smooth and colour code bumpers/arches and other bits and bobs.
Also looking at getting some morrettes. thats all i can thin kof at the moment.
oh, btw, i need to fit washer jets, bought some today but they dont fit in the hole.........

Bonnet looks good imo, would have to agree with Mav tho sell the 17s get some 16s and put Cavalier/Calibra Turbo brakes on it (will need re-drilled to 4 stud tho)

need to sort the shut lines out on the bonnet, not really doing it justice fitting it like that, or is it a poor fit?

That bonnet looks so nice
I didn't know you needed reflectors for the MHWs. Standard rear lights dont need reflectors and the MHWs are the same but just smoked?!
I'll just stick my standard rear lights back on for MOT to make sure...
