Here she is, sorry for the lack of a decent photo but I'm back at uni and left her at home.. (mainly to avoid chav abuse).

The front has eyebrows and the leather needs a bit of tidy up but other than that, its not bad. Gonna keep the momo alloys I think, but any suggestions for the back? Needs lowering perhaps? Different rear bumper? Stainless exhuast perhaps?

I'd appreaciate any ideas/opinions, cheapest options being the best!

Cheers in advance..

Lower, BMW option or tech1 front spoiler, same on the back (or at least re-colour-code it), nice shiny 'zorst, despoiler the boot, get rid of the eyebrows & smoke the front lights. Well that's most of what I did anyway! :lol:

Enjoy... & welcome to the zone :thumb:

1988.. Think I'm gonna leave the front alone, I like the eyebrows and maybe fit some angel eyes if I can afford it. As for the back, yeh I'm looking into exhausts and bumpers.. I like the boot spoiler though. Where you get your rear bumper delphini? Any idea on prices?

Good god that's some garage!!! My garage is only fractionally
bigger than my car, and usually occupied by a different car. I think you'd
get a much more comfortable ride with front seats, althougth they make
back seat driving much harder - almost impossible in fact.
As it is the car looks pretty fab, I'd keep it tidy by buying all the niggly
plastic bits you need from a dealer and think about putting a sound system
into it (see my setup in the Styling/ICE section too. If you want to use
your car as a mobile disco you might like a system like Bootyman's
to help setup your own private 'rave' parties in the back garden. 8O

depends what you want doin on it, how much your willing to spend? tech 1-2 kit would look really nice on a cab, drop the suspension, stainless steel twin exhaust.

lol its a barn guys, not a garage. I live in Cornwall, there everywhere trust me. Notice the old land rovers.. awesome machines they are..

Anywho, yeh I've acquired a fair amount of stuff for it.. missing trim, front fog lights, m tech wheel etc just to keep her as tidy as can be.. Think I'm going to drop her 40mm (I think thats ok on standard shocks?) and get the stainless exhuast. Not sure about the m tech kit right now, bit low on cash..

Yeh Globulator, at the moment its got twin 12 inch subs, and aftermarket rear speakers (although they are hidden by the rear trim atm - this will be changed) and a pretty shibby Sony head unit.. Its pretty sorted for sounds, might add some tweeters up front.. not quite up to Bootymans standard but I need some boot space!
