thats what i thought panesar, i thought the only thing is that the rear lights look a little weird with the tech 2 kit but it would all fit on without problems.

yea I used to live in southall but moved to windsor quite a few years back, but I'm always down in the southall, hayes, uxbridge area as I have mates and cousins who live around those areas. I don't know jassi properly just met him a few times through my mate who lives literally round the corner from him on somerset road.

I've just recently bought myself a 318 cabby and have found this site and the members on here very helpful, it's a great place to find out the answers to any burning questions you may have

finally got my car back from MOT, took the car for a drive and felt a little let down with the first drive. it felt really sluggish. i put some injector cleaner in and took it for a drive up and down the motorway and now it feels much better. the car has been parked up for a while so i think it needs to be driven to open up again. i will be servicing it next weekend which i hope will help.

whilst waiting for the car i have picked up the rims, lowering springs, ordered 6000k HID kit and also xenon bulbs for the side lights, beam and fogs (not impressed with the lights at the moment) i will be uploading pics as and when i work on the car.

my first mod :) it was a nice day so decided to lower the car, i have done the front only as i done it after work and only had a couple of hours free. the back dont need to go down by much so will trial fit my rear springs soon but may not keep them on the car if it sits too low.
