Nice one Alex.
I got my local garage to sort me out with a new clutch master cylinder for £45 fitted so they're not much.

i almost got him to buy one but the insurance was too much apparantly

in his mums name so it would still have been cheaper than what i was paying for a 3cyl car

I like the black spoiler for a bit of contrast, any shots of the interior? May I say I know i've been off the zone for a few months but seriously Alex how big is your post count? When I left you were only at 400

Looking good you're so lucky! Although I think a black IS lip would look rather cool!
You should have got pics of the mazda's exhaust so we could laugh at it!

Lol well I'm obviously wrong! I think I might be on about josh-hocking! His posting just annoyed me! Would look very smart with some smoked headlights
Oh and a thing about not wanting to go sidewards, I was the same way untill my car decided to do it by itself on black ice

so keep vigilant! Best of luck!
