Forgot to add, will get round to DIY smoking my headlights also

Light tints may come at a later date, need to make my pay last for another 2 weeks

Im wanting to try and find a good set of mudflaps, its forever getting dirty up here with back roads and going to the farm!

Phoned turrif tyres this morning and they said they could fit me in at half 2, so off I went

Got a full stainless steel exhaust and decat fitted, was sitting there for 2 and a half hours!

Love the sound of it, its really deep and not raspy and has a rare note when its flat oot! Also get wee flames when changing gear, witnessed by my mate 8)

Wee pic, car is dirty again! Also need a new no. plate light cover after breaking mine while in the process of changing a 75p bulb!

Also got a video of me going through the cullen viaduct, sounds quiet though!

£350 with a lifetime garuntee, go back yearly to get it inspected

They also cut my cat down to just the box itself, welded on two short pieces of stainless steel so that its easy to slot on for MOT's

i would raise the back just higher than the front, all front wheel drive cars need the back higher than the front.
