Mint car mate! Love those wheels sooooo much...! Suit the car perfectly. Agree about removing the badge from the front, looks kinda odd. Mirrors look great too

 

[sambryant]

Thanks coops, the r badge was on the front when i bought the car.

 

[wayne lcr]

Only just realized your rocking the 3/4 size plate now mate. Did you get that off fancyplates like I recommended?

Your car is looking mint!

 

[sambryant]

Yes i did get it from fancyplates tom they did a fantastic copy of my old plate in 3/4 size. Im really pleased with it. Also thanks for your comment, its getting there, but still loads more work to do when funds allow, mrs birthday this week lol

Nice one! Glad to hear you we're pleased with yours, they did a top job on mine too. Turned out better than expected.

What else you got planned?! Ahh don't, I can't stand people close to me having birthday's when they know I've got an LCR to finish off!!

 

[sambryant]

Haha tell me about it. Well the plans are;
New downpipe and decat, new coilovers. 3" tip. New custom catch can (old one too small i think. Strut brace front and rear. Rear ARB. All new bushes. Polished inlet manifold. Few changes to the engine bay more pretty bits. Got all new silicone coolant hose kit on its way from wayne. Well thats the plan lol

Decided on which downpipe and decat? Great shout on coilovers... You don't need to spend loads for these I've found. I love my AP's, but it's all down to you of course

Looking forward to the changes! And to me your car looks nearly done, yet like me when you start thinking of things to do, it soon becomes clear your no where near finished

 

[chappers]

i might go pipe wrex on the dp and decat. they seem to be getting good reviews or custom. not sure yet. you never know one might show up in the for sale section on here
i have a set of lowering springs on the car now, only 20mm but im starting to dislike the ride quality, probably due to so many pot holes around.

Good choice mate, seem to get very good reviews on here for quality and the price. Custom could be an option though, I think El is going custom for his exhaust.

Coilovers won't be luxury comfort lol, but will be less harsh than just springs for sure.

 

[armo]

looking very very clean mate love it, and agree fully with the mirrors, they pull the car forward a century, keep up the good work dude

thanks m8, i try my best, i dont have loads of money so i try to do the best i can with what i got
I was thinking of putting the white engine covers back to black, what do you think ? Also does any have any recommendations for new lowering springs as my car is such a hard ride on the pi springs. Im after a 30 - 40mm drop but keeping the ride quality close to oem.

I had Eibach on my astra coupe, they were good.

Cars looking the bollocks mate, love those wheels too. I wish forge made ther intercooler kit so you can see the blue pipes like you can see yours, im thinking of taking the bumper off and getting it sprayed due to some stone chips that annoy me when the cars waxed!!..and while its off.. what would you recommend to bring a mirror finish on the intercooler itself like new??? cheers, Michael
