Paint the badge to match the new wheel colour and dont do yellow rims!
(or do it with tape at least first!)

[Paul.M]

What make of springs is that lowered on buddy. The ride height looks really good.

Also whats the ride quality like with standard shocks?

Stunning car BTW

[st3ve]

Looks good but personally I'm not a fan of the smiley faced bumper and what have you done to the offside of the car? it seems that side is picture shy!

 

[Brett]

Looks realy good mate.

 

[M8XY G]

What's different about the bumper like? Looks like a standard one to me. Same as yours even?

 

[Paul.M]

they updated them slightly in 2004 i think it was the bottom grill/ foglights are different not a massive difference but noticable in person

 

[geordieracer]

Ah ok, trying to remember what it looked like on my 53 1.6, must be very subtle tbh, as i didnt think it looked any different lol

 

[alex-avfc]

Personally think the PH3 front bumper is a big improvement! I'm biased maybe

Car is spot on anyway mate

Agree the Ph3 bumper is an improovement, the Ph2 bumper looks a little fragile, Might just be me tbh

yeah i have spare door handles ready to be sprayed when i get round to it

have you got any pics of yours ?

Will get some over weekend if weathers good!
