A bit of work, but recently quite a lot of work! then selling a few things on ebay here and there, had used bit of money from birthday money, parents sometimes buy little things for the car, but I've just had to pay them back for my alloys and seats and rear bumper haha! but lacking clothes cuz of this car aha, treating myself next month though.. New job yeee!!

Fitted the steering wheel today! Had to use my original airbag cover as my airbag was attched to that and you can't get it off, so excuse the slight colour difference. Car defo needs a clean inside!! Was also doing an oil change today but found out the filter didn't have a spindle so need to get one in order to complete the process!

Good eve! Bit of bad news on my steering wheel.. When I turn, the horn flickers. And you can hear the wiring (white thin wiring) inside moving about which makes like a sorta clicking/shuffle noise. So that's next on the to do list. More problems! why oh why haha!!
 
Well this morning did abit of running around, went to a breakers yard, and got myself a new airbag squip along with the unit behind it, so now, I have no problems steering or any risk of an airbag K.O-ing me! And, for some amazing reason, after changing the squip, my airbag light has gone off thank goodness!! Irrating thing, best not come back.
SPACERS! Getting some hubsentric spacers soon, going to do 25mm on the rears, and 20mm down on the fronts. Neat! Eibach's are getting fitted soon as you know, getting new tyres also soon, and then finally, colour coding. Aiming to do most of that by just the start/mid into september! keep your eyes peeled.
New one on, the one i'm holding is fu***ed

bloody hell you dont hold back and it appears you never done the mistake like most people by getting stuck in halfords car accessory's section and i personally think you should donate that rear bumper to me as its the colour of my car :(

Well if you don't find anything i'll consider selling to you for £80 posted, and then i could find myself a pearl black one, ( knew i should of waited to get a pb one haha, just became inpatient and just any colour bumper.) so then i've saved myself a good amount of money from coloue coding!:) i'm an idiot haha!!
 
well, small little update! I suffered from boredom yesterday and today. So what came to my mind was to spray my engine cover. Yesterday: Tried and failed so bad because i rushed it and cans were cold ect ect., and then lost it completely and chucked it in the bin haha. Then today, I went to the bin and got the bloody thing out and went for it again. And I must say, not a bad outcome! Not great, but it's only temporary to see what it looks like on the engine and go from there really. so here is what i did this morn:

and then once it was done ( as i like my surf/skate brands) I stuck these two stickers on it, remember it's only temporary haha! I've also ordered a light blue CS URL sticker to go on it.. and I also gave my engine bay a super quick clean, nothing much, not the best either but abit better!

Looks like a k&n. I always wanted to change filter on my 1.2 but never got round to getting one.

Engine cover looks good.
Have you changed your springs yet? Mine come tomorrow. You influenced me ;)

Thanks mate! and nope! This week though, trying to get hold of my mate he said he'd do it this week! soon hopefully they'll be on. lemme know what they're like when you've fitted them ;)
 
cheers mate thinking of getting to boost my sound up with my exhaust.. heard induction kits burn more petrol though?:\

I have no clue if they burn more petrol, but if they do i can imagine it would be sosososooo little maybe! In a couple of months i'm probably getting a KTEC Stealth!
 
well today was the big day, benga got dropped.. in a good way! Perfect drop imo, when i sit in it's very little lower too, but makes a big difference!!
I'll stop chattin, enjoy the pics! more very very soon ;)
