OK as some know, I crashed like a week ago. Was crawlin through traffic, cars in front had moved quite a way forward (i was looking other way), so then i moved forward, at about 10-15mph, then I tried to adjust the bumper, which i had in the car as it was hitting me in the head; I was heading to the bodyshop to get it sprayed! So i was moving forward, not looking and then BANG! Towbar --- The front end was kinda broken .....
So it has been in the garage since then. The funny thing is, is that it was going in for bodywork to the same place before I crashed. Good thing is that it going to come out looking better than ever before.
Having no car made me bored, so have been on ebay buying presents for it. So far i have got:
- 10" pioneer sub; RMS is like 250W, not to serious but got it cheap. I was the only bid and it was ... yep ... £0.99!!!! But the guy said he couldn't let it go for that much, so after some talking, it was £7.50 and he would deliver it too me as he lived a few miles away! Schweet!!
- Alpine V12 amp mrv-f300s; V12 are some of the best amps i reckon. Got it for £36 + £20P&P £56!!!
- steath shelf for the mk3; now i gotta get some 6x9's. I've only got two speakers, standard ones in the CL. They are in the front doors. And two tweeters. So I need 6x9's for better sound quality. Cost £16 + £15P&P £31!!!
- Deep lip spoiler. This is at the body shop to be sprayed too! I know it will porbs get scratched, etc, but i want a fully color coded car and something different; I reckon it will look schweet (when i get it lowered though, i'll be very careful with parking near kerbs and driving over speedbumps - scratch!) Got this for £17 + £6.50P&P £23.50!!!
- Sony Headunit, direct ipod control!!! £50!!!
- Parts to replace the whole front end; got some off ebay but most i got in the local scrap yards. £100 for all parts.
- OK now for the good bit - Azev 16" alloys, yeah!!! Still in the process of trying to get them picked up (complications with times he is available and when the courier can go). They come with all legal tyres too. Only £180 so not too bad.
I am trying to take things slower, I get more done then. Before I had a huge list and tried to organise everything but now i can be more focused:
- Once i get all the bits for my sound system, I'm going down to my m8 in cornwall to fit it all (he has sub boxes and wires galore!). I will also wire in some LED's in the dash heater controls to brighten it up; this is long due to be done.
- Well i get the car back soon and the body work will be better than before, the lower lip will be on all that sorted. they are also going to spray my spoiler for me, so I will go grab some sikaflex and get that on there.
- Still trying to figure out Remote Central Locking Kit!
So hopefully i'll get the car back soon and i will give update this with pics.
Ohh and i am getting the badges color coded too.
I reckon i just might have too much red, good job the new headunit has blue led's.
Cheers,
LL
