Springs arrived on Thursday, started the backs and did the fronts too took about 3 and a half hours and Im quite happy with it, going to get 16's as soon as I can, alloys rub on the arches sometimes when on full lock.

Looking good mate

What's that foglight surround thing off of? Looks like an Astra VXR one or something to me.

The GT3 centre I got is pretty much the same as that one except painted mild steel instead of stainless and about a tenner cheaper, if you fancy saving a few bob

Cool, too bad the grille doesn't come out otherwise I'd get a spare or something Might do a photoshop one day to persuade myself

Its my colod air feed but its only really for show (pipercross), Can you u2u me the link of the race tube mate? Do they do manifolds? And you could have the grill off on a friday and back on sunday night probably, I let the paint harden for a week though

This is the centre mate http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350407383017

Don't think they do manifolds but Warren G did once tell me the Ashley one is a good one to get.

Yeah I'd be inclined to leave it off for a bit to harden too, I keep marking things I've painted within a couple of days of painting them as it's still soft

What were their reasons? Tbf it is only a 1.2 at the end of the day, but there's nothing to stop you getting a sweet exhaust on there

Looks better, will look nicer on 16's as you say, also mirrors let it down imo.
