You've done well there, got yourself a great little workhorse now, done quite a bit.. Not sure on a couple of the stickers, mainly the snap on ones but other than that, looking good.   :cool:

Ok....

time to have a re-cap on what ive done to the car over the 6 months of owning it, and what i plan to do next.

Things Done: :smiley:

Cambelt and tensioner changed
All new Daylight Builbs up front, stop lights on the rear.
Drilled air box (did have cold air feed but it was a crappy halfords one and it broke :sick:)
New breather pipe (VW Part)
Smoked side repeaters
Sprayed wheels and lower half of the car (Matt Black)
Vinyl wrapped petrol flap (Matt Black)
Advertising on rear screen and bumper
A Few pointless stickers  :laugh:
T-Shirt seat cover
Fusion amp & Sub

Things i have but not done/fitted:  :rolleyes:

Lower bumper Air Vents (arrived Saturday)
De-badged Grill
Sun Strip
Mudflaps
Quad headlight conversion
More Spraying (Matt Black) not the whole car tho
Smoothing in places
De-badge Rear
Remove rear wiper arm
Fit New seat covers on front seats

More advertising (thinking start again but with yellow)

Only Bad Points: :sick:
Brakes are starting to get low
Steering rack is fecked, but im managing to get away with topping it up once a month
and i need to get round to replacing coil(?), dizzy cap, arm and leads, prob new oil, plugs and filter again too

not bad going considering its a daily, really looking forward to cracking on with it,

comments welcome
