hi all , i bought the car around mid feb and thought i would finally start a thread , there was a slight bit of rust on the bonnet and bottom of the drivers side door but apart from that its pretty mint. here is what she looked like when i first bought
first thing i decided to do was buy a 60mm lowering kit off ebay and heres what it looked like
i wasnt to happy with the way it sat at 60mm
the next thing i did was put in a vectra gsi interior light
then i got a set of cesaro's off a mate but they needed a refurb
got rid of the wheel trims because they just looked abit naff and also bought some 110mm rear springs and FK shocks, also a sportex backbox and race tube but got pulled over for the race tube so had to put standard center section back on. here is what it looked like at 110mm at the back
next i bought a debadged grill from mod nats
then de-wipered
