Think i'll get a space saver, only really need it on longer journys. My radio surround and adaptor arrived today for the columbus. Shame i don't have the car for a week.

A week for lowering? Sounds interesting :)

I'll try to keep this updated as i go along. I've had it a couple of months now so ill add some pictures. Its a 2.0 CR 170, so one of the earlier ones on 08 plate.

DPF removed with a full S/S Powerflow exhaust. Remapped. Lots of little extras like seat trims, bonnet strut, gear knob, parrot i9000 etc

Booked in for something special on the 18/8/14 so keep your eyes peeled ;-)

Heres a few pics anyway..

Bonnet strut is from superskoda mate. Took me about 10 mins to fit on my own. Really simple, 13 and 10mm spanners. Will be easier with two people as you need to keep the bonnet in the same position and remove the bolts.

Can see it better here, i put a bit of spunge as it touches the bonnet and didnt want it too rub through paint.

All fitted just waiting for the surround to turn up. I put the gps aerial up the passenger A piller and onto roof. Wire goes behind glovebox.

Stripped and painted my wheels last few days. Acid dipped to bare metal, then sprayed up. Probably not the best wheels to try spraying for the first time.

After:

They are only my daily wheels so im happy enough, main issue was i didnt sand down the bare metal. Nevermind..

Also forgot about these but cleaned them and primered them.. Will paint next time the gun comes out.
