Aye, haven't had much time to simply fart around the town at weekends Ben :worried:

Cheers Paul- ditto! I was much easier to find when I spent all weekend in the Off Sales :p

Thanks James, gotta have a look around that new focus of yours! Looks well, can't believe you parted with the astra, thought it would be with you til the death! lol

Treated the car to a good clay, polish and wax after the recent mods at the weekend and rolled her out after work tonight as the light was nice but didn't have time to nip anywhere. I need laminX back in my life! :heart:

Andy, Still up for SMDs??

Thanks for the comments guys/gal

Harry, thought that was you, when I was turning into the Super Value? Thought it would be the wife so didn't flash. Not too many colorado reds with those decals and splitter ;) Looked very clean!

Thanks Cormac, These ones were bought, not built bought them off a guy on AON who was breaking a car. They;d need to be custom made in carbon dude.

Aye I love the plate Ben, really makes a difference to a car imo.

I thought you'd moved local from the houses in your pic Harry... Big football field opposite the entrance to the place? Ha I used to be bad for it when I worked in Byrnes at the weekends but I've since packed that in... Good luck with the new house, they're lovely places and a good area, few mates from school live in there

Yeah I know what you mean, best option would be to make them yourself? You can buy kits which give you the proper carbon look. Carbonmods.co.uk I think it's called? Connor and Lee bought some to do the nova with

Well looks like I may be parting ways with her soon.... So gunna get it finished externally, get a few pro pics snapped then send her up the road :worried:

originally planned to replace the rears with 9"wide versions but not financially economical considering.... so messed around with the rear spacers I ended up with this...

This car defines modifying for me, just smart and tasteful changes which suited the 'theme' of the car perfectly. Every little mod right down to the window jets just made it better and better each time.

Be a pity to see the car being sold, but im sure the next car you have will be just as epic! (y)

Uck cheers guys! Aye James, send aul' brown up the road and come back to VX :p Pics indeed! I'll let you know

Saunts: compliment and a half! I just did the car to my tastes and tried to make it that little bit different. Subtly.

I know Dan, I've had it nigh on 3years but time for something different. Got a few ideas mulling over, But servere horn for a TT. Just comes down to price as usual.

Look forward to it Marc. Hopefully it'll be ready for a few pics in about a month. Some things bugging me, rear carbon and paint flaking off one of the back wheels. Hopefully sort them by time spacers land then will be in touch :grinning:

Ah no! love this car. I knows it easy to say just to keep it but once you have the itch, it needs scratched...

Will you be returning it to standard?

Just realised haven't thrown up pics with the new spacers on the rear. Also re-painted the exhaust in a satin charcoal black and removed centre caps on the wheels. Car is now definitely for sale, deposit left on a new car. It's available as it sits, or standard whatever suits people. I'm gunna miss it :worried:
