This is our latest additon to the family :D

We bought her through the Zone.

She was driven from Brixton to our home in Edinburgh and behaved perfectly.

Since getting her we have fitted a stereo and speakers and put some other wheels on her.

Today we fitted 60 mm lowered spring ,Mtech spoliers front and rear and painted them , dechromed the car and painted the mirrors too , we also painted eyebrow spoliers and the boot spoilers although they are not fitted yet .

I just masked it all up and scrubbed up the chrome with a 3m pad and lighty painted with Halfords satin black spray , too about an hour in total , and looks ace.

Its fairly durable too, if its prepared right it should not come off, I have used the pressure washer on it and its fine.

Its a cheap way of improving your car

Baaathgate no moooore!

I had friends who lived in Armadale which is without a doubt the most depressing place I have ever been. Driving through it on a wet and snowy morning after Hogmanay made me feel suicidal.
