right ive not posted on here in a while

the car is now raised up on some h&r springs, around 40mm drop. its risen the car up around 2inches or so and made it much more usable lol

ive tried to clean the car up a little, cleaned inside, added a tech1 shift knob to replace the old stock one, new drivers side kick plate and clips on the sill, new fog light blank, towing eye blank, front oil cooler grille and new bung and clip and i picked up a front valance off doc323 (cheers).

heres a few random pics in no apparent order, also fitted the eyebrows i bought off someone on here (their name evades me... sorry) and they were already diamond scwartz.. not too sure on them but il leave them for a while as i tidy the car up

ive got to finish the front valance, fit new blanks and grille to it so it can be fitted to the car and also it will have a a stock lip then... then i need to mend the rusty patch on the rear valance and it will look sweet then...

anyway pics......

you need to excuse the lack of front lip, fog blank and wonky bumper, it was a mis-hap in the wet and detoured into a front lawn.... hence new parts to replace lol

finally got round to fitting my new valance and bag of new bits from bm

here was how the front was looking before, it had no lip, missing fog blank, rusty valance on both sides etc..

Image

unfortunately i dont have a pic of it with no valance as i was busy trying to get it sorted so i could get off out. it was very easy to change though

heres a few pics. newer valance off doc323, oil cooler grille and clips and fog blanks and clips from bmw and my brake ducts off my bumper. i painted the blanks and valance myself, came out quite good.

Image

while it was like this i repainted the kidneys matt black and also the horn as it was grotty
