pay day thursday and fancy another mod for my car.
these the the only things i want to do to it:
Lower Grille
Colour Coded Bumpers/Arches
Badboy Bonnet - Not sure, probably won't do this.
Semi Smooth Boot
GSI Replica Side-Skirts
Smoked Headlights
MHW Rear Lights
don't know what to get next. definitely buying a new lower grille as mine broke and may D.I.Y smoke my headlights.
so that leaves either gsi replica skirts or colour coding which i will also do with the help of my dad just not sure how much it will cost to buy materials and paint.
pics of said car:
should i put standard mirrors back on as DTM ones are getting a bit chavvy now IMO.

40mm is fine no need to go any lower.
wheels are staying until i can afford 15'' pro race 1.2's
not buying anything brake wise, just exterior design and anything that NEEDS to be done eg MOT TAX INSURANCE etc.

it's 40mm on springs. it wont be lowered any more until i can afford and want to afford a 60mm shock and spring kit. until then the springs are staying. in typical essex style: 'NUFF SAID
don't know if being on a hill makes any difference and the fact the handbrake was on? but i know its 40mm
and the fronts were put on yesterday, may need to settle i dont know?

ET 35. doesn't rub so good enough for me.
everyone please stop with the wheel/lowering comments. thats as low as it will be for a while and i like the wheels so until i can afford to splash out on new wheels and suspension, they will be staying...
