this thing is just done right in every way. meet soon? yas, i think so.

Thats great news that you're already taking care of her with the parts and little jobs :) ..get a project thread up!

Just fancied something ne w mate. Nothing sinister!

Hey Andrew, I'm the Tom that sold you Valerie! As people have posted above my project thread was that of an enthusiastic but slow one due to funds. Was very sad to see her go but im glad that you have joined and will give her the care that she deserves!

And so project Valerie comes to an end.. sold her this morning. It's been a memorable 10,000 miles. Hope to see her tot up many more with the new owner!

If you want lows, coilovers. Don't ***** about with springs as you'll be wasting your time.

There are many mods that have already been said such as lowering, set of wheels and a splash of colour here and there to get you started; But the clue is in the question on how you personalize it. only you can do unique things to it that no-one else has to make it yours. just make sure you...

Ah cool :) well nice to meet you both, so to speak! ..we were heading to ace cafe for the JDM meet :)

Managed to say a few words passing in traffic but didnt catch who you were besides you being on here! I was in the Williams, following my mate in the S13. Your car looked very tidy.

Welcome mate, you'll definitley have fun in the clio. im from guildford.

Was on FK coileys on 13's.. played with it too much to know exactly what it was running but it was scraping tyre. Flucking miss that car to pieces.

Thank you mate, means alot :)

Ha thanks man, would be good if you got one ;) I'm seriously up for a lakes meet again man, get the old crew as well as some CS'ers up?

Thanks guys :) Well today she went in for her retest and im very happy to say, she passed! Straight after coming back from the MOT station i thought a long overdue wash and another ***** shoot would be a good way to celebrate. Did a massive interior clean the day after strippage so nothing...

how low have you wound them down? ..sounds like it could be just scrubbage.

Thanks man :)

at the MOT.. Went about fixing the faults today and while it was in the garage with tools handy, decided to remove the foglights as one was broken; and also remove the grill bar that has never sat right because of a previous bump it has had in its time. Woo, wonky grill.. bits...

I see. Definitely still go for coileys, its just the bolt spacing that is different which is more than likely why the ones you have bought do not fit. Rip out the arch linings or you can leave them in, it will scrape on full lock though as is to be expected.

Chris your car turned legendary very quickly, and will stay that way now! Nice work mate, get your arse down south and see Rich and I.

LED washer lights bodykits on hatchbacks or family saloons halfords alloys sport seat covers reverse rake lowering. flames and irrelevant stickers many more. basically anything that can be bought from halfords; and cars that look like they have just crashed through the 'sikmodz' section of it.

I didnt think it was possible to get 90mm lowering springs.. unless theyve been cut? link to where you bought them? you'll be fine slamming it to the floor as long as you stick to 15" rims and preferably low profile tyres as the maximum size you fill the arches with. Get coileys.

Thank you mate :) ..and roof you say? hmm! Argh tell me about it :( In regards to MOT, she only failed on a deteriorated brake line and steering rack gaiter.. not the rust which i was worried about! ..sorting that out tomorrow evening then off for a retest. pretty happy considering i was...

Thanks stu man ;) well, the starter was drowned with oil and such; did well for the state it was in!

As has been said, you need coilovers to lower it to the ground; which is basically the law with 1.2's to go down the low and slow route! Theres a good selection for the mk2 regarding price and quality. Personally, I will recommend FK's.

Intended to book my MOT on the friday but couldnt as the starter motor totally gave up, bad times. Took us a while to find out the fault... Fitting new one tomorrow and then taking it for her MOT, been told by a few MOT'ers that the rust may be a problem, so wish me luck.

cool progress, havent seen this for a while mate. As said though, whats going on with the lows? scrape it along the road!

almost 127,000 miles on my williams, loves it.

base for something great! ..if its healthy definitely track it

Over 2.5k since june last year, straight after getting it home it needed over 2k in repairs and its still going wrong. woo.

People definitely try it on for insurance claims. Down my local road some bell end decided to slam on his brakes in his land rover over and over trying to catch me out.
