Ouch :(

[lukeanderson31]

Indeed :'(

[lukeanderson31]

Decided to go abit more noticeable this time round, so currently my mirror caps and fog grills are primered white ready for paint exciting times

Anybody got a vrs spoiler kicking around?

[lukeanderson31]

Made myself a mufflerectomy yesterday, got rid of the side exit exhaust and fitted a vrs rear bumper awaiting paint

and a few pics or my interior, allbeit the one of the inside is dark as it was by the time id finished

Fabia sport seats hopefully going to be stripping these and fitting heating elements to retain the heated seat option it came standard with

and a quick one from out on the road

i'll wash it when its fixed again

soooooo, plans this week:

replace broken mirror

replace bust rear damper :'( perhaps a chance to buy coilovers? yay or nay?

oil and filter change

nothing too exciting this week, ready for painting and repair next week

Good progress mate and I love the wheels it's currently got shame about he damage though. Did the person own up?

[lukeanderson31]

Yeahh he did. He told me to get a quote and he's paid me in full for it the same day. Cant fault him

Im not too sure on the wheels. I think they look too small. And it certainly feels like it handles better on 17's. i want rota grids :'( sooooo expensive.

Need to sell some of the sets of wheels i have before i purchase more though hehe

[Dark_Hero]

That's good of him.too many people just run off now

[lukeanderson31]

Not many people with a good heart.

Fitted a new headunit tonight, philips one with ipod dock for my iphone looks sweeeet. Will get a pic in the morning.

Was looking for my phone to take one and couldnt find it. It was sat in the radio dock :facepalm

Okay. Bad news. Turbo took a big dump all over the m62 today :'( so cars going to be off road for a while as i need to look at suitable options for replacement/upgrading and obviously saving the cash up too.

Did yours not have the smf as standard? Mine did :p

Oh yeah the standard brakes on the pd100 are just damn awful!

I will be following your progress!

[lukeanderson31]

Well she's booked in at Darkside on 12th august for a load of work

Even better news, pd150 injectors arrived today. New seals and bolts and they can go in
