Right cars had its MOT on monday needed a small patch of welding done from when some gimp jacked it up before I owned it but other than that the car was fine so thats sorted just my tax due now end of the month.My eagily awaited Hella all blacks finally came little disappionted as they have a crack in one and a scratch on the other just a shame as they look really nice on the car and ive only ever seen 2 pairs so I reakon there pretty rare could be wrong.As they have the crack dont think ill leave them on long but I have got a spare set of cl lights which im going to attempt to split the lense if im succesful I may try something with the standard smoked lights and the all blacks see how it goes  :smiley: Im thinking of dropping the front end some more not sure yet as its still pretty good with speed bumps and I can get on my drive still.Next jobs is just tidy up the bay abit its pretty clean but always room for improvment.Thanks for looking few pictures of the rear lights.


Passanger side light is the all black and the other is standard gti smoked.


both lights fitted cars abit dirty  :grin:

Nothing to big of an update sold the above Hella all blacks and couldnt belive my luck when I found a mint set which finally arrived today,so I got them fitted and they look sweet.Im hopefully putting the vento front I bought in for paint end of the month (payday) see how it looks but for what it owes me im happy to take a chance on it.Ordered some tinting film of LL for my Hellas which im looking forward to playing with that stuff lol.I had arranged for a friend of mine to come and lower the car at the front about 10 to 15mm which ive wanted to do for a while but never got round to doing it.I might have to do it next weekend as Ive got a really busy weekend plus week ahead of me so struggling for time still if I we can get it done we will.As I said nothing to big but cars slowly getting to its point now looks wise and only other major thing would be wheels but not going to bother tbh as im trying to keep it what it is a Anni.





Couple of pictures of mine with my friends 8v which is a really clean nice looking car that sits very low  :smiley:

Lights look good. :Afro: Agree that the other car sits nice and low and if he doesn't drive it much then fine.  Yours isn't far off to be fair, looks more daily friendly.  :cool:

Cheers Dom theres the odd bubble but you cant really see to be honest doing rounds lights isnt the easiest but my mrs got involved with the hair dryer which helped  :grin: Im really just seeing how they look tinted as the vento front end is still on the cards and I will tint those aswell.Thinking of saving a few quid and going for some new rims summer time if I hold on to the car for that long  :wink:
