Ok fellas I've owned my 6n for about 5 months now and been on here a little bit longer so I thought i'd just show you all what I've been up to.

I bought it for £1600 of a Belgian in Penwrith, it had 12month test and tax, full VW service history 34K on the clock 1 lady owner from new,

And managed to pass my saxo on for £1500

First thing first, dirt cheap collys on fitted by my good friend rhys here

Took us a bit longer than we thought so it was kept at German wedge for a couple of days but couldn't get it up my drive :(

But then got it sorted

So that was the end of August just be for moving away for uni.

Since then I've made a couple of purchases, and i got home from uni today so i'll be hoping to get all these bits sorted for the end of January

Updates to come tomorrow!

Oh aye!

Time for a bit of an update because christmas is a time for... erm... refurbing wheels,

Started painting the G60's on the 24th

Heres just a few pics of them through the stages

So theyve have there main coats of laquer now just need to wait for them to dry for 24 hours and then they need top coating.

Ordering some 195/45 Falkens in a min off camskill (i think thats the cheapest place I've seen them) and then having them all put together on sunday/monday

So plans now are:

Winter wheels : 15X7&8 G60's 195/45/15 Falken ZE912's

Summer wheels : Lotus Elan M100 wheels, Polished fronts black inners 165/50/15 Potenzas

Clear indicators and side repeaters

And a little bit of colour coding

Updates when i get my tyres :)

WANTED

I'm just sticking with silver actually....i could always change them to cream in the summer....but i think they're to clustered to muck around with colours!

They're Keskin KT8's...15x8!

Cheeky update before 2008 comes to a close,

Me and my buddy Rhys again got busy with the c spanners yesterday -

Pics were forced flash so thats why everything is super bright!

Got my centre caps on today but its just way to cold to do anything else,

Needs a good clean tomorrow!!

Cheers for any comments fellas
