The starting point

Simple 1993 1.8 8v Driver. Was lowered 40mm, supersport back box. That's it!

Picked up a set of angel eyes on the way home at on they went.

further lowering

Next step, lowered 60mm on spax springs with 10mm lowering caps at the front. Also added clear indicators but thinking smoked might go better with the blue, not sure...

Sorry about the dirty wheels, was literally just after fitting

Minor body mods

Next up was a smooth grill from venom. Sprayed poorly by myself with a tin can. Will get it resprayed when I get the bumper done (see below)





Also ordered a brand new fully primed front bumper for smoothing. Has to be noted mind that this is how it's stayed for the last couple of months  :embarassed:

Wheels

By far the biggest styling change made has to be the Borbet A's. 7.5x16's with 195/45 Toyo Proxes.











Have also added german plates.

Will post another update tomorrow once I've finished the latest project!

Ok, have just finished fitting a single wiper conversion from storm - works a treat and tidies up the front end. Have set it to normal park, don't want it sat in the middle.

Pics to come - on the other pc which is dying a slow painful death at the moment!

Also won a set of Diamond Audio M361 components on ebay. This should replace the alpines up front at the moment and will be amped

Umm... not done much recently... picked up said speakers. Off to Lanzarote tomorrow so not much going to be done until next week. Have bid on a new sunroof assembly though, getting annoyed with being dripped on!

[Dom Mk3]

Update:

Not much, speakers not even fitted!

But here's a pic of the wiper for, well, to fill some space

Finally, an update!

New sunroof assembly arrived today from Mr. Hardcor3... much appreciated dude

Have started this evening my removing the headlining. All in all not a difficult task (why the haynes manual says seek professional assistance I don't know!). However, where the sunroof had been leaking there was a lot of condensation and the lining was a little damp. I've left it off to dry, so will resume tomorrow evening. For now, I'm just driving around in a car with wires dangling from where the interior light should be. Shocking!

Some good sound proofing on the roof mind

Will try and do a step by step with photos of the sunroof swap. Wasn't much point in the headlining, is fairly straightforward.

[Dom Mk3]

well there is precisely nad all point in a how to! undo bolts, remove assembly, fit new assembly, refit bolts!

Putting the headlining back was a little fiddly but nothing that time didn't overcome.

Now I need something else to do
