Looks nice. Normal headlights and a new exhaust to fill that gap I think!

Looks very clean! What is the project going to be (what plans)?
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

Thanks for the comments

Waiting to get paid so I can go get a stainless decat made up, i have scorpion backbox already to go on.
And I have only just installed the halo's but I am thinking about putting the originals back in. :|

They are just Surface Mount LED, they look blue in photo but are actually very white.

Well i've spent 5 months building her back up, bought for £150 so you can imagine the state. I lost all my photos which is rather annoying, and well apart from trying to get all the electrics to work im not sure what I want to do with it at the moment? Any suggestions? :eek:

Funny thing is it is lowered. haha

Only springs on the front because the new dampers i bought didn't fit in the housing. But I got 40-50 mm drop on the back with new springs and dampers. It rubs quite a lot if i got foot down around a corner.

I would like to consider something like that, but considering im only 19. Insurance is the biggest pain in the arse.... :x so it had to be the 1.8 for now and the 2.5 for later.

Get rid of those eyebrows and stick a silver grill back on! Would look so much better!
In my opinion of course :D

+1 the eyebrows have to go,

Do yourself a favour if you haven't already get the rear arches cleaned out properly, this i one thing i bitterly regret not doing sooner with mine, if your arches are still solid it will be well worth it! aside from that keep up the good work,

Its nice to see another moordoor getting some love,

:D
