Yep. Bonnet is all fitting properly now which is good :) didnt need to take to a garage either, me and my dad did it one evening lol. Painting the rear drums black tomorrow and possibly the front calipers "Marine blue" - should be interesting to see how they turn out lol. Il get peoples opinions...

Yeah have decided since writing this thread that im just going to do it :) can always change it if it doesnt look right.

Hi all, So this weekend the weather is meant to be nice and i have decided that im wanting to paint the rear drums black as when i was fitting coilovers, noticed they're looking a bit sad :( - After mentioning this to my dad he told me how he has some "Marine blue" caliper paint for his car...

Ouch.. Well il see it again next weekend anyway! Might have to raise mine up a little before then, it's so bloody low!

Gutted, ima have 1 passenger again I think and he's like 18 stone of muscle -.- haha. Never choose the best passengers for situations like this! You changed your car at all since last meet?

That's fair enough then. My mate was asking again how much you'd want for it now in its current state? How much were you paying on insurance? Plan sounds good though :) get a little 1.2 / 1.6 clio runaround? Mod it a little, make it look good? Cheaper to run, less insurance and you'd still have...

S23, got anymore pictures of your car? Looks good from front, want to see the rest! :p

Tbh with you I don't think you'll get the £1200. It would require a respray on the effected panels and we all know how expensive that is :/ why don't you keep it now? And work on getting it back to its origin state again. Also would be a shame to break it.

I can't believe that's happened mate, especially at the same time you're selling it aswell. What are you going to do now with it?

It most certainly does! :P bonnet is fitting properly now aswell and it's sitting roughly 70mm all round. Almost a different car to how you last saw it :)

Set mine to 70mm ish in the end. Looks great and believe it or not is still good over speed bumps etc!

I'm often around Kent as my girlfriend lives down that way, saying that I only own a 1.2 :/ lol. See a few sports going round though. Next time im down il bring a few flyers with me!

To be fair, was taking it easy as I was out of petrol, suspension was mullered and I didn't know what was around the next corner everytime lol. Wait til next time ;) everything is fixed now!

On mine ive just lowered it to about 75mm on coilovers, sprayed front and back badges black to match bonnet, kept standard dynamique alloys, silvervisions, xenon bulbs. Some other little bits too.... i saw you mention an exhaust system a few posts ago (didnt read all) .. whether you've done that...

Damn :/ im sorry to hear about this mate. I hope you can get it sorted, its such a nice car! Cant believe somebody would do this for no reason? Only thing i can think of is just jealousy?

He wont unfortunatly mate. His astra vxr is his baby :P stage 3, lovely car! and hes recently purchased a really nice nissan 200, s14 which hes putting a skyline engine into.. so he isnt up for selling either of them. Shame because hes selling his astra van v6 now for £1500 - but hes then using...

I like to drive with my window open a little at all times lol, dunno why but I always do and when it rains... I get soaked :/ so these do appeal to me but I don't want them to ruin the appearance of my car lol.

Hi all, What's everybody's opinions on wind deflectors? My dad has them on his zetec S and they look really good. Want them for mine, not nessacerily for the looks but for the purpose they serve. Anybody know of any good ones or have some pics of them? Don't want them if they look s**t! Thanks...

He is, and he has told me he'd love to buy it but because hes already running 2 stupidly expensive cars and a v6 astra van conversion (lol, its so sick.) , he doesnt have the money for the clio unfortunatly :/

^ exactly what i thought haha! Shame you wont be there man, wanted to see your car again - couldnt keep my eyes off it before! Got mine sorted now anyway, sucks it'll still be the slowest there :/ 1.2 ftl.

How much are you After? My mate who came along with me to the last meet was very interested in your car! He wants to know a rough price :)

Hello everybody! Just brought some V-Maxx coilovers for my car and will be fitting them at the weekend and am wondering what the best height setup on front and rear is? Im ultimatly after something that looks good, not majorly fussed about the best handling setup as it is only a 1.2 lol. Can...

Dont think you could've really gotten any closer then that haha! Lovely looking engine bay though

Hi all! What splitter can i fit to my car? ive seen people putting skoda splitters on theirs and also megane splitters. How do i make them fit and have any of you got pictures of all of the options so i can choose the one i like the most? Thanks, Ollie

Ahhh right. Thats the answer i was after! thanks buddy, coillies is the route il be taking :)

Yeah thats what i was thinking but money is tight. I mean i can most likely stretch for coillies but somebody mentioned adjustable shocks. Would they be a better option? / do they work how im intending them too? (to adjust the height etc) i dont really know much about the whole thing tbh when it...

^ Smart looking car that. Wheels suit it really well!

Hello everybody! Right, i have a slight issue with the car. I lowered it 60mm on spax springs about 4 or 5 months back, always had the intention of buying coilovers as i knew the shocks were going to go, but unfortunatly they have beaten me too it :/ What are my options now? Buy some coilovers...

Me and my dad spent 2 hours tonight lining up the front of mine. Bonnet is fitting properly now and the gaps are much better! massive improvement! coillies should be with me next week hopefully , long story short, il be there :) PS, added tanks name too as i was already editing list :) 1-...

Really smart looking car that. Please lower it though! Would look so good :)
