pretty smart. Simple.

The new domed plates look naff as does the Speedline grafix, should be around the outside lip. I'd be temped to try and touch up the bumper too, bit of touch up paint and some 4000grip should 'improve' it!

thanks for the comments, but I think the speedline grafix's don't look right on the lip and look loads better around the centre Like on the speedline 2118 2128 and 2020's. And I'm gona wait till the spring and get a front bumper respray so not much point doing out to it at the mo, specially in this weather. Lol.

Looks nice. Suspension wise, kw v2's. Adjustable damping (can adjust all four from under the bonnet and boot in under 2mins). Brilliant for road use (supple, rides very well) and great on track. Not cheap mind.

Sweet! cheers for the advice I will have look into them. I dunno wether to buy new or try and save money and get some used ones.... Decisions decisions!

looks real nice that mate, its come along very well. is it lowered? and what did you use to cut your numberplate down?

Erm yeah it's lowered on eibach springs for now, just till my funds can stretch to some coilys. It just look terrible on standard springs so I had to do sumat till I could efford coilys. I cut the plate with a hack saw and some sand paper!! Lol they came out really really well, even tho it sounds drastic.

Second hand kw's are like gold dust mate. I've been looking for about a month now. People just don't really sell them. Your only real hope is if you find someone breaking a car. Looks tidy though mate, good work.

Just ordered a connect2 ipod connection off mxaudio off here after weeks of wondering wether to change the headunit or to keep the standard one, and im keeping it standard, and i bought a isqueez off ebay for £1.21, free postage!!

may upgrade the door speakers any ideas on the best door speakers to run without an amp??

nice little read, looks great

any thoughts on rear discs and pads?? mine are in need of replacing but ive heard its a waste of money buying high end ones for the rears. any thoughts on whats the best set up?

and im thinking of buying some hubcentric 25mm spacers for the rear, any thoughts on the safety of these?? and if they change the handle coz i dont want to lose any handling, but i want my turinis to sit out abit more.

Any help would be much appreciated

 

[n90nb]

a quick update really, just fitted a cup spoiler after weeks an weeks of trying to source one, so my standard sport one is up for grabs if anyone is interested, just pm me.

Also im still thinking of some 25/300 hub-centric spacers on the rear, but still dont know if they will affect the handling, and im not sure on the safety of them?? any thoughts

And ive just ordered some STANDARD rear disc's and pads i really really wanted to go for the HC brembos and ds2500 pads but after much research for the extra money i wont feel the benefit. But this means i can save quicker for the HC brembos and ds2500 pads with brained ktec brake lines for the front then i will be happier.

Also be trying to stop myself from ordering loads of random white stickers and putting them up one side of the rear window, i know its a bit euro, and i know i shouldnt but i cant help myself from thinking about it lol
