Sounds like a plan! and you have mimicked exactly what I think of my car except from my tyres (I need 4 as they are all different! perks of getting part worns to get through the MOT!) :laugh:

Problem is funds first, then the fact there is always something more important to do on it and priorities change daily!

Indeed!

Today I've discovered I need new front ARB bushes and a rear wheel bearing. The bushes will cost £63 (polybushes of course!) and the bearing I will do with the rear disc and pads as they need doing too (uprated pads of course). So I'm looking at a fair bit of money before the wants get the priority over the needs!

Looking good dude! Wouldn't run the risk of front tints personally though :)

Oh right yeah I forgot about the tints  :grin:

I'm not a massive fan of tins in general, I was just playing about to see what they'd look like. I wouldn't get front tinted either  :smiley:

Fair play dude :) so many people do, but just thought i'd mention (not b!tch) about it :)

I like tints, but only on some cars. Want to get mine done but will only be done to a factory level so they look 'normal' rather than drug dealer styleeee :grin:

Yeah that's the best look, OEM+  :cool:

A friend I went to 6th form with had a mk3 1.6 and her had these tints that were half limo half chromed.

Don't know why everyone loved them so much  :sick: :sick: :sick:

Yeah dude, I do like the look with a light/medium rear tint on the back, would look good on yours as its a dark colour too :smiley:

Haha! I've always wondered what the attraction is too... must be because its shiny, everyone loves shiny :tongue: Just like chrome wipers, washer jets etc... :rolleyes:

Yeah if your any good with Vinyl, you could do it cheaply yourself! Just have to make sure its slightly 'lubed' and that you get no bubbles :smiley:
