This is our latest additon to the family
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.
