Well after learning to drive and having to have a complete shit piece of a car to keep insurance company happy i sold my old car.



I went for a top of the range 1.6 16v sport with A/C (pointless) and ABS (has come in handy) it only had two owners and was completely standard.



Had it for ages now and finally got it to a respectable standard

Spec so far:

colour coded bumper strips and boot lock
slatted grill
opel boot lock badge
ultra smoked lights with red spray tinted sections
homemade depo style headlights
enclosed induction kit with cold air feed
short shift gear linkage
4-2-1 raceland exhaust manifold
sports cat
remus race tube
sportex twin 3'' inch backbox
bbs style alloys (wish i knew what they were)
175/50/14 low profile tyres
janspeed coilovers (wound right down, rear adjusters removed)
ebc brake discs and greenstuff pads

Still got some more bits to get fitted:
flame inlet manifold
white dials and blue interior leds
sparco pedals










suggests welcome except telling me to put a drilled airbox on and anything Irmscher

making your own depo's is a piece of piss, get cheap headlights (non valeo) off ebay cause they have clips as well as glue, heat with hairdryer pull apart and spray reflective bit then heat glue up again put together and put clips back on. cost like 30 quid all in all

bit of a drastic comment that.

I like it, little bit different but still very subtle. rear lights are a nice touch

Sorry to spam your thread mate but why on earth do people post bad/negative points or what should be done to it? It's his progress thread, he has done the things he's done for a reason because its his car and his choice. F*ckin jokers.
Anyway, minus my rant, nice car mate. Keep it up
