My 1.2.

Well i got this car in dec 09, first things first before any modding, had to solve a few problems, little things like ecu light and it hadn't have a service for 3 years so i decided to do....and thats when the modding started with a K&N panel filter. Thats about all im doing to the engine.

After the first month decided to get rid of the steelies and put on some alloys. Stayed like this for a while, next month have angel lights, rs front grill, colour coding the bumper trims and wing mirrors, also have some coilovers on there way

Plans sound good, though I'd cancel the angel eyes, sell those wheels and put the cash towards some 172 wheels or some OZ super/ultraleggeras.

i dunno, the wheels might look quite good once lowered?...but its got to be low and id prob offset the wheels with some big spacers personally.other than that like your plans bud....best colour

Not a big fan of the 172 wheels and alot of people have the OZ alloys. Although there nice, i like mine Thanks for your input.

Yeah looking at 25-30mm spacers and its going low, thinking 70mm at the front (about 80mm gap atm) and 50mm at the back, (that gaps about 55mm)

Ok i just typed this out, then my laptop turned itself off, fail, so this is going to be shorter then previously...

It's been a few months since update so this is how things are sitting at the mo.

Alloys been removed and replaced with steels and fancy trims as after buckeling the 3rd set ive had enough of pots holes, plus these are more compfy!

Also i wanted to colour code the bump strips etc..but being 1. skint 2. student i went for the cheap option, DIY! So £70 less, armed with halfrauds wet n dry, primer and some spray paint from fleebay i went to work over many..hours? of sanding,painting,sanding,painting etc etc....

The finish is OK but colour abit off, looks better then black and its better then i thought so im happy.

The list as it goes:

Silvervisions
RS Grill (sprayed gloss black)
Carbon wraped front/rear diamonds
OMP yellow tow eye, little undecided but the front is abit boring with out tbh
Colour coded bump strips/spolier/mirror caps
Aero wipers
De-Wiper
CS Sticker
Tinted number plate light

To do list:

Pressed plates
Colour code door handles
Alot of tlc, many parking dings, dink in the bonnet to and bit of a dodgey touch up pen marks (prev owner)
