After some center caps to cover the bolts but cant even afford some off ebay.. whoops I've got a set of centres from the VW donuts you're running up front if you want them? What sort of price mate? Can't find them anywhere and I'm silly low on cash but the gatherings coming up soon and I'd love to be rolling some And cheers guys, was unsure on the boot 'nipple' as my mates are calling it.. but I quite like it at the same time

My bro was at the retro rides gathering, and of the 50 pics he took, look what popped up! Looking ace mate, still keeping this bookmarked, keep up the good work!

Wow, sorry I didn't check earlier, my laptops in for repairs. As always haha!
Thank him for the photo, I'm happy people liked it enough to snap it. I've added a bonnet vent to the filter (corsas having the worlds worst airflow ever) more as a dabble at using a jigsaw than anything. Best way to learn is to jump right in imo. I'll try and add some pics later.
Also, thank you very much for the bookmark!

I'm happy with it as a practice of jigsaw use, works for me! RR was brilliant, topped off an amazing weekend as the day before I tried flying two of these! Never tried before and I reccomend it to anyone who wants to dabble in new things.

cream steels look good, not so sure on the vent but at the same time I'm not sure how it could have been done better so I suppose the big question is whether or not it helps with the airflow issue.
Paints ageing nicely, especially on the bonnet.

Sorry for the mega late reply. Not much happened with this lately, apart from maintanance to the rocker cover, and some other areas. It'll be at the beach tomorrow though so I'll get some snaps.

Came back to the car park to find the BMW 'mini' had vanished from beside me, and this had happened. No note, not even effort to move the broken peices near to the car and out of the way. Best repair I could do.. for now.

this is why I park in the furthest space I can when I go anywhere! That doesn't always work, I once parked a brand new, on the road that day Civic in the furthest corner of a hospital carpark in a torrential downpour to try and avoid getting dinged. I came back to find the OSF wing almost turned inside out by some careless, thoughtless b**tard, and no, he didn't leave a note.

I tried to hide in a corner with the biggest spaces (multi story carpark, biggest spots at at the furthest edges, no pillars) and still they manage that. I came to the conclusion that they reversed out, and the front bumper took it out. What an amazing driver they are. Some bits and bobs done, wont upload pics till I've got enough to make a worthy galery of a post, for now thought I will leave a picture showing why I need a spare £160 fast. Adjustables will be mine one day.

Maybe they thought it was abandoned. That was the excuse given by the dick that whacked my mates Metro in Morrisons car park a while back. Barsteward thought he had got away with it but he got collared at the petrol station.

I find it more upsetting that they left it in pieces everywhere rather than put a note one th car saying sorry, or even putting the broken bits on the car out of the way. Ah well, on wards and up wards.

Nowt much to update, some minor things done, been to a job induction, but never got it, and didn't even get a chance for the other one or two so bumhats. Struggling to raise the cash to get it lower, this is my motivational pic to keep on pushing for even minor jobs. Should be picking up a new backbox this week though, so fingers crossed for that.

I have some coil-overs in my shed that will fit this.
Literally just the front coil-over shock units and the adjustable rings no springs though they are yours for free if you want them mate.
Should be easy enough to get a spare set of springs for them.

More than happy to try them for free fella, I'm in the Birmingham area so I'd have to figure out how to get them up here. Do you know if the rears are similar? I know they use pigtail springs but never changed the rear shocks before.
