These were all taken back in july but due to not having the net I never uploaded them. Car had a full 3 stage megs clean including clay, polish and wax etc. Also been a few new additions since I last posted up pics. Comments welcome 
future Plans are:
Rear whiteline ARB
Vaux badges for the centre caps ( if I can ever find any  )
repaint drums
Paint calipers black or maybe gold?
Sell and buy either a CTR/clio 182 at the end of the year

just put masking tape over it and file the edges so that it just leaves the tape over the letters

Cheers adam. Used to love yours. Yer calipers look good in silver
I know you did alot of track days etc in yours. Did you have an uprated rear ARB and what did you think of it?

i had whiteline rear ARB, bigger one they did, think 24mm? seriously, the best thing i ever did to that car, if i had another it would be one of the first things i got, essential imo.
