Head lamp protectors are there for a reason though so I dont mind lol. Yeah I hope so, not sure what to do with the front bumper yet, may put my laguna splitter on for now
And I'm selling the rear springs off the arden, wouldn't trust them on the flame reds standard shocks.. They fell out today when we jacked the arden up to put the 60mm ones back on

Cheers mate, not sure on plans apart from 2.0 8v so ill just update as it happens instead of making a list then changing my mind lol. And it goes OK, but haven't really put my foot down tbh, no point lol. I normally stick to 30-40 mph round our way so it will do till the 2.0

The red one is exactly how I would have it. I love it. Just please get a black splitter! Laguna?
Can't wait for the steinmets grille on it.
Instead of a 2l 8v why not a 1.6? They are really tidy and look abut more modern than the 8v inside the bay

Got a laguna one in the shed mate And I want to go for the 2.0 8v because it will be a good base for me to learn on and cheaper to fix etc. Not really bothered about how the engine bay looks either, plus it would be a bit quicker than the 1.6.

Stick the 80mm on this! That stance was 100%! my mate has 100mm on standard shocks, sounds mega bodge but just cable tie them in place, will stop them coming out over large bumps if your worried about that. Although that has never happened to him

The way it's going will be alot better than the Arden. Can see that already! Coilover rear springs are not low, I would keep the 80mm ones seriously!

I'd be happy with 40 front 60 rear tbh
So just had the previous owner come round with a nice little upgrade for me He told me I'll need 256mm discs, sound right?
Calibra Redtop brakes My gf took the pics btw before you ask about the slippers
