Give them seats a really good clean and try to match the fabric from the back and I'd say they would look awesome

Grill fitted months ago lol


bonnet (who done it) lip painted

hole in roof almost good as new

drive shaft is needing a wee repair...

took a break from the car and me and Kedowan decided to create a gokart lol.
got a set of steels from my mate at college and put some fresh rubber on them... this is how she sits now...


also machine polished half of my mums bonnet on her silver corsa c to see a difference between the both sides, this is the outcome...

not been on in a while so heres some updates, got a spoiler, looked so rough so had a go painting it and then stuck it on heres some pics.





also picked up some spax RSX coilovers and some 60mm springs and replacment shocks they were rough to so cleaned them up a little before fitting.





washed it ready for kames a few sundays ago before i got lows.





took a few pictures with mine and some friends cars, retro








found some matiz orange paint in my garage and just stuck it on my springs lol



began stripping my coilovers to get cleaned, this turned out to be a nightmare as the adjusters were siezed solid!!!!!!!!!!!



heres a picture with the lows!
