Intend to fit the wheels and possibly the spoiler Saturday as I've been mega busy this week and barely looked at my little blue beast, even though I driver her daily

Payday came and I splurged on some stuff for the car, as well as the Director's cut of Commando on the Front Line which is brill

Been a while since I've posted but had to postpone doing anything to the car for a while

Alloys are on and I swapped the tyres for smaller Hankook ones (From 195/65/15 to 195/45/15)

Spoiler can't be fitted on till I remove the nuts underneath it, but I intend to remove remaining glue, put black reviver on the bumpers and tint the side repeaters as soon as possible as they make the car look like proper trash

I'll get some newer pics up in the next few days or so as well

Finally got round to a few photo's for a proper update

Vectra 288mm front brakes, Goodridge braided stainless steel hoses and Mintex pads - cheers to DaveGreen for those

Painted the callipers blue easily enough but masking was a pain in the ass



Managed to snag some MHW's in pretty good condition







Current progress so far - Forever Black bumper trim sorted out any grey spots



Next on the line is half a new exhaust system as I have no backbox and only a rusted end of a centre section where it used to be

New timing belt may be due soon but after all that hope to get some coilovers and lower it to a much nicer looking height

Gave the car a long overdue wash with a Simoniz cleaning kit I received for Crimbo, tyre shine definitely gives the tyres a more sleeker look imo

Didn't use the alloy cleaner that was in the kit though as I'm pretty sure the wheels aren't lacquered and the paint job isn't the best anyway. Would like to have them powder coated gloss black but that's not in my immediate budget

Nice work but as said before removing the glue and badges will make a massive difference
