Yeah I know how to do em now, but still haven't done it though!! Cant bare the thought making it HIGHER...
Yeah we'll defo cruise it together, probly be ready to leave by half7? How hard do you think refurbing the wheels would be as the front are a bit scuffed.

A proper refurb isn't worth while on the stock rims. It costs like £400 to have them fixed up properly! Best bet is to get the dremel out and a set of files. Neaten them up as good a possible. Then ideally have them bead blasted to remove stock paint, primer them up and chuck on a load of paint.
I had my D90's painted for £120 including the detailing on the Porsche logos. You could get yours done for probably £80-100. Bare in mind that masking the rims to paint the lip another colour is a tricky job!
Looking good mate! Same colour as mine 
Though, i'm not directly copying u, I just ordered a set of them HID'S!

Didn't realise you upgraded to the mk3! lol. Better be some pics in readers ride...
Back to the wheels, it's ALL about this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/REFLECTIVE-WH...14&_trkparms=72:1301|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318
Thanks very much! When the weathers better I plan to really make it a show piece, get all the niggling bits done to the details like bonnet, bumper, i already have a new boot lid to go on etc. What you doing with a Fiat on here anyway, planning on buying something decent??
Will sort a thread once I wash the car! And that depends on the weather
Mk2's been sold to a guy from ur area...so keep an eye out for me!
Any issue with the HID's?

Cool where abouts it gone to in mk? I'll keep my eyes peeled. HIDs are perfect! Great quality and easy to fit!
Only joking! Soot chucker or perky petrol?
Riko what size are your Super T's? and width? Your cars my inspiration at the mo same colour! i even had a laguna FMIC!
Cheers fella, great to know she's inspiring! Mine are 16" 7j width, which I believe are actually from an 'R' as opposed to general versions. I personally wouldn't go any bigger with these wheels, otherwise they start to look like any other multispokes imo.
lovely car mate, really like th eblack ones
ill keep an eye out for ya, im near leighton buzzard!

Thanks dude! I'm often in the Buzzard as my sister lives there, opposite Morrisons.
the more i look at this car, the more i want to come and nick it
i love it, the splitter does set off the wheels even more!
i personally don't like the eyebrows, but its your car (well mine soon lol just kidding)
any more plans for it?

Jus try it sonny! 
Thanks... i think? The splitters off again after smashing it again you thought id have learned my lesson by now?
I think the eyebrows need to be seen in the flesh as they look 100x better than in pics, but I appreciate peoples views.
Plans, well I'm still waiting for a some of money to come in so undecided wheather to spend it on BT or brakes, or cosmetics such as paint work and panels etc??
another splitter? bloody hell! how low is your car sitting? if its got coilovers just raise it, save yourself £25 a pop!
Small update
Well haven't had a chance to do a great deal due to the weather, but I managed to change the front discs and pads a few weeks ago, the car came with a spare set up when I bought it. Couldn't afford Bill set up so had to fit the Honeywell discs and Pagid pads which are actually ok tbh.
Didn't manage to get picture of the finished article, but they're all nice and shiney now!

Also had a failed attempt on fitting my TIP! Had it all going smoothly and orderly until it came to undoing the allen key bolt to take the stem off from the turbo. Basically I couldn't jack the car up high enough for me to get under!! I was using a trolley jack to then slide the axel stands under but just couldn't raise the sucker! I even tried parking the car on a kurb in the street but I still couldn't get under...
It was approaching 5:00 so thought I'd piece everything back to standard, much to my disappointment, as it would be dark.
Got a couple of shots but worth much until I find a better solution to get her in the air.
On the plus side however, reading through previous receipts for the car I have a 4bar fpr fitted already as the previous owner was getting her all prepped for k03s. Naturally I must continue what was not finished so watch this space!
As I have the fpr fitted but still running k03, would that explain why I only get 200miles ish to a full tank??
