£350? Thats a lovely looking for motor the money  Good work!

[Mew]

Why thank you kind sir!

[...joe]

well done mate, very tasty for the dollar you parted with 

joe - why haven't you told him to lay the rear wiper flat yet - you're losing your touch!!  :laugh: 

Edit: probably worried about someone raring up i guess 

[...joe]

^^^ hmm maybe something like that....

hey ben i'll write you a frickin list if you want

1. slam it to the floor
2. get rid of all the orange indicators, i'd go clear with m3 style on the back
3. clean it and get it polished
4. freshen up the black plastic
5. lay rear wiper flat
6. repaint the wheels.

should be a sweet assed subtle car for very little money at all!

or tell me to do one!

[gti jim]

i'm glad your s.o.h is still with you mate 

incidentally, i layed the rear wiper flat on saturday (looks much better) - sorry i took so long to heed the advice 

[...joe]

ha ha yeah no worries, the flat wiper is sooo easy and an effective mod too!

or tell me to do one!

someone tell him, its not many times you get an offer like that.... ESPECIALLY from us power hungry mods. 

Indeed very tasty car for the cash. Should make a good project.

Personal opinion (- am i allowed to give such a thing....  )

1) drop it a good 40mm or so
2) flat rear wiper
3) smoked lenses all round, valver rears.
4) A good work over with a clay bar.
5) back to black
6) widened steels

6) widened steels

ho ho ho sh!thead! widened steels are illegal if they are banded, and nigh on impossible to find anyway!!

i also though clear lenses as they seem to make the grey paint brighter on other ones i've seen..... either is cool though!
