Title: small update! (pictures)
Post by: jtomlin on 12 October 2009, 18:48: hi all,

got a few updates, been chatting to jwelsh a bit too much :P and i decided to get some wind deflectors and lowering springs, theyre the greatest thing to hit the earth (minus bonnet bra's) so heres some photos, my new wheels and yellow calipers can be seen too if anyones missed them, and if you havent geussed, the springs arent on yet, theyre -50mm weitecs, due to be on before the next ace cafe meet! any comments welcome as usual, and if anyone fancies making me a sig, please do :D

Title: Re: small update! (pictures)
Post by: Kyle! on 13 October 2009, 22:17: a few piccys of the wind deflectors on a 5door for ya.... i sold the rear ones they looked shyte!
Stink - yea they make a big difference a lot less wind noise and no wind hitting you in the face on the motorway whilst your interior still feels fresh, and if you smoke in your car they literally are a godsend and i couldnt live without them lol. Reconmend them completely!

Pictures arent the best im affraid, but ive only just realised i literally have no decent pictures of my baby! How much is it for a proper shoot these days??
