right its been a long while since i've posted on here so think an update is in order....

since i got an autoglym polish sample as was well chuffed with it i went out and got some car care stuff and sepnt a small fortune and got all i need and set at it one saturday with a clay bar and polish and wax and lots of time spent but the outcome was much worth it...



then the time came to sort out my stance as having that much rake and un-even camber wasn't doing the handling of my car any good and it dint look too awsome either..  sooooo i got straight on ebay and baught a nice new 'full' set of coilovers  and got them fitted with the assistance of martin and his compressor :) and sorted out the camber...
also chucked in a set of 10mm spacers all round to ad more stance and get the front wheels off the coilover springs and the result was.....





after fitting the coilovers my handling was instantly improved of course and was feeling much more stable at speed wich is nice and then i thaught i'de spend some of then paypal money's on a few stickers to add a bit of personality to the car so i got these..




but after all this ther was still a missing link wich was my faded and dull spoiler wich was letting the car down so i went to my nearest motor stor and found some trim wax wich they said would do the job perfect so i baught some and this was the outcome...

you can see the difference instantly...

and 2 weeks later its still lookiing nice and fresh we shall see how long it lasts before needing another treatment


and a few weeks passed with no issues besides a wheel wobble from the shocking spacers untill my travel back to grimsby after work in louth and s**t t the fan when my clutch went on a busy crossroads at the front of the cue when the lights went green so i managed to finaly get my car home and look at what it was to find a nice hole and split in the bulkhead were my clutch cable used to be :(   
wich now looks like this.


also thaught i'd add in a picture that dave took without me knowing when leaving to maccy's from one of our BCD meets cuz i think it looks awsome
