So Im not really into making the ground close to the bottom of the car and making the speddbumps harder than they are.. I like things to look normal and tidy so i could say im a purist (sorry)

Im firsty gonna get some black trim for the interior around the stereo as someone has painted it silver (i understand the 16v had this?)
and also a lot of swirl scratches that need to be removed (anyone know a good product for this?)
Need to get some wheel centres as mine have faded/weathered

YEAH! anyway let me know what you think and if you have any nice littel touches i could add


Andy  :wink:

Welcome...


Looks pretty damn tidy...  Only nice touch I can see right now is those horridly painted heater controls... other than that, looks nice.

Yeh she is pretty tidy.. saw her in a garage when i actually went to look at a calibra 2.0 but the boot was a pond so took a look at this and i dont think the bloke knew what he was doing.. so i took advantage and ripped him off.. makes up for all the people he has probably ripped off with his sheds  :evil:
