Update:

Got some prep done on the bumper, just needs abit more doing then hopefully will be ready for the top coat


Fitted the front ARB today, havnt really driven it properly to see what difference it makes and also ordered a new tip for the exhaust as im not a lover of the one on it now. The brakes will need sorting soon aswell as they arent very good and are on the limit

Update:

Today i got the exhaust tip fitted


So much better than the old one

opinions/comments welcome

Also had the pads and discs changed, the drums and shoes checked and the clutch checked which thankfully isnt fucked so thats saved me a some £££s, just need to buy a nylon bolt or something like that which has striped the threads which should only cost a couple of quid

Update:

Yesterday me and my mate fitted the front coilovers, have been putting it off for months as i heard so many people having problems, was all going well until we put it back on the floor and the tracking was way out so with the help of his dad we set it the best we could so i could at least use it until i get it booked in to get done properly, this is the height i set it to until i get the gsi bumper fitted then il just keep going down until it starts scraping


After the coilovers we set about stripping the rear, cant believe how much noice difference the seats made


Today I fitted the rear suspension wasnt going to put it that low at first but as i was fitting it i thought fuck it and wound it right to the bottom, then took it for a little drive to see how it was getting over bumps and it wasnt to bad considering, still needs to settle properly aswell



thinking of removing the centre caps to see what it looks like without, comments welcome
