Page 1 - Wheels, Suspension, sound system, Black V-Grille, Exhaust back box, Smoked Side Reps, De-badging, De-wipering, Black Griffin Boot badge

Page 2 - Plain Number Plates, Front splitter

Page 3 - Wind Deflectors, clean pics

Page 4 - Wheels Refurbed

It all started in march 2007 when I bought this:









First job was to give her a clean and get my sound system in:





Followed by a black V-Grille:



And a new Subwoofer:



Then a New back Box:





Then the most important mod...CS Stickers:





Nexy up was lowering springs and de-wipering (the tacky gearknob was also changed by this point but no pics, the black v-grille has also been re-sprayed twice by this point ):

It's been a while matt

yesh the windows will be done by a pro i think...either that or I might take all the plastics out of the back before I try again so I have more room to work...although I've failed twice already

Glad the springs fitted buddy.

Did you have to piss about as much as me taking them off my front shocks?

Get the SXi badges off aswell.

Were did you get the de-wiper idea from

Smart buddy.

Not as much messing about with the springs but some of the bolts to get the struts out were a bit tedious

Quite like the SXI badges for the time being, breaks the door up a bit. Been meaning to get round to the wiper for ages but kept forgetting

I had to get a great big pair of grips and WD40 on mine and it still took some persauding...I think I might have mullered the thread for the nut . Didn't want to cut the arm off in case I decided to put it all back for winter

thats the cleaning from the other day (day after it was lowred) and yes its a new badge to replce the broken one Attacked it with black paint first though obviously.

I'm undecided whether to get some more paint and do the sxi badges too Can't get the griffin off the front and Don't want to break it so it's staying silver for a while

The wheels will just be repaired in the same colour they are now, but I think that'll be a way off yet I'd like to get the windows tinted first and possibly the new headlights, then work on tidying the wheels up.

Need to get saving
