Almost, lol. As some of you know i had a crash a while back, my cars been gaffer taped up for a while now, but finally got round to fitting the new light. Boy was it a job and a half, was p1ssing me off after a while. Anyway, heres a few really crap shots.
This is how she looked 2 days before...
Ive got a replacement headlight unit (passenger side) now, cuz i smashed my last one in a crash. Do i need to remove the front bumper to fit this? and is this an easy task? Anyone with any experience in this depratment, i cud use ur help lol. I dont wanna take the fron fo my car to bits and then...
u were driving toward finedon, i was going the other way, i would of flashed but i was in a world of my own, singing away to my cd that was blearing and only saw u at the last minute. As always, the trophy looked amazing tho.
about 18:45 this evening, followed you from burton latimer, through finedon, past R&D footy ground then u went off toward bedford. Looked like u had anthracite turinis on too, very nice.
...on getting in Practical Performance Car mag, was flicking thru at work today, noticed the V6 on the front cover and page with u on it, nice one mate.
(my apologies if this is old news)
Came round a corner on my way to college this morning, the girl infront of me had stopped to let some traffic past, didnt see her till the last minute. Slammed the brakes on but owing to the drizzly weather (and the cups lack of abs) i just locked up straight away and slid right into the back of...
As i now no longer have a g/f, ive been trying to keep myself busy, so, the cup gets a 6 and a half hour wash yesterday.
Washed with NXT shampoo
Watered down wonder wheels on the turinis
Clayed front bumper, doors and boot
Polished with Meguires Crystal Polish (didn't have any SRP left)

Near cheddington/Tring way at about 12:15 this afternoon, flashed you and waved, you gave me a gourmeless gurn in return, so might not be sum1 off here, lol. Was clean tho.
Drove past you yesterday (sunday) at about 12:45pm, in that bloody pouring rain, you were waiting to turn right. I flashed you but it as impossible to see anything.
Definately worth it, goes like a rocket in 2nd now, acceleration after 5k is much smoother and throttle response is noticeably sharper. I definately reccomend getting this thing out...
I calen my car, religiously every sunday morning right now, but as winter approaches that cud tail off a tad so i need to get set for winter. Should i polish, EGP and then give maybe 2 coats of wax? how long does egp seal the paint for? what with all the muck, water and grime at get thrown at...

...and yes i know it needs a splitter, theres a story behind that but shud be getting a carbon one soon, lol.
(apologies on the size, if anyone wants to resize/reupload thatd...
looked like a 1.6 16v, was fairly nippy. overtook me causing oncoming traffic to hit the anchors, then whipped down the DC. I dont mind a play on an open road but you turned off the DC into burton latimer and drove through the whole town at ridiculous speeds, then razzed through a housing...
So far its pretty awesome, driver support is thin, but it is nible, quicker than xp in places. DirectX 10 is a novelty too. for those of you with no idea what im on about, just nod...
looked lovely mate, real spankingly clean, thought it might be rich for a sec. and yes i nearly drove straight onto that roundabout cuz i was so busy checking ur car out.
went up to the windfarm earlier for a snapping session. They should of been a lot better but some one has been shafting with my digi cam and i didnt realise so theyve all come out on economy mode or whatever. I shall return for better ones soon.
Looking at picking up some 2nd hand eibachs, that are coming off a 1.2. Can someone please confirm that they will fit my 172, they are all the same right?
booked my car into GDI this thursday morning (30th) for its 24k service. whats peoples experiences with gdi, the chap seemed real friendly on the phone and they must be better than a dealer.......surely?
im pondering over painting my calipers red, i have a 172 cup (mondial blue) which i wont post a pic of as im sure we all know what one looks like.
whats the general consensus on red calipers? chavvy? naff? sweet?
i thought about blue calipers too but i rekon that wud look cack to the max.
my cover note just came thru for my 172 cup, which i got today. except theyve got my pass date on there as 11/02/2004, when it sould be 07/04/2005. Now im gonna ring them up but surely thatll affect my premium? ive already paid the whole thing off. I dont know where the hell that got that date...
the time for a new car has come, im chaging my 1.4S for a 172 cup, which is prenetsly on its way, from sumwhere, i dunno where. I'm 19 and have been driving for a year or so now, now i'm by no means a lunatic, i do more miles that ud think possible and i am sensible. However, as much as i want...
A silver mk1 v6 followed me on the way to work this morning through warkton, then on the way home i followed a 182 cup in dark blue, near the same spot, must be clio land, lol.
