i would kill for a sunroof in this weather!

nice one dude, looking good

fjord blue is clearly the best 6n colour

many plans for the future?

would look insane if you could find someone willing to trade your rear 7s, for some 9s [a guy with a lupo with 9s all round was looking for some 8s, maybe put it past him]

that would be too ill, major stagger stance!

fjord blue...pahh its all about black lol

but your car does look mint...those wheels just suit it down to a tee, great job so far

Looks mint mate i like it any more plans for her?

yo cheers for all the comments :-D

I'm after a 16v front bumper now and then I'm gonna get it painted and smoothed, maybe recaro's after that and i could do with a 16v rear bumper.

i was also thinking about gettin the arches rolled then spacing the rears out. what dya think?

cheers

yerr get one smoothed, it really improves the overall look, it looks ill as it is but wait till you get one on :p

but if you can try & get a rear one at the same time, it will save you money in the long run while the body shop can do both in one hit, i got mine done at different times & you begin to hate the rear of the car after youve got the front on & still the crappy rear lol

&yep rolled & spaced is always good

you had a look about for someone to swap two of your 7s with their 8s?

cos iv seen it asked a couple of times & that would be another option aposed to spacing & rolling, plus more dish

Nice one Leko lol

Gis a bell when you have got some dollar and we will go bumper huntin

I've got a set of valver bumpers now, but they need smoothing and painting, hopefully i will av my whip back on the road soon, the gearbox went again a few weeks ago and the nob ed's that did it wont fix it again because there saying that the suspension is causing it to break because its so low, bellends. never use black diamond in warrington there bollocks.

Love this, really nice colour is the fjord blue! Steffans are perfect match for the 6n too.

Lowering your car does put strain on your driveshafts and stuff, but no way should a recon box go that quickly. Get down there and kick the fuck off, mention trading standards and get it touch with these people http://www.rmif.co.uk/

good work though! :)

cheers mate :-D

I've kicked off mate and got in touch with trading standards but trading standards haven't done much to help except give us advice, they want me to get an assessment done to prove me wrong. i accept that lowering your puts strain on your gearbox but I'm arguing for the fact that it only lasted 3 weeks. but they keep blaming it on the suspension. nob ed's

cheers for that website mate, i will check it out :-)

its back on the road at last, me and my dad fitted a gearbox and I've just had the M.O.T done :-D

Much improved

Looking good man, F*cking miss mine

i think mine drop from 20mm up to 120mm, mine av still got like 50mm left on the front, they can wind down very low.

the rides hard but its not too bad.

try brentacre for insurance, there boss for modified insurance. :-D

yeah the bumper strips are just stuck on, they come off easy, i used a hair dryer to get the adhesive sticky shit off the car, but it turned out sound.

haha, yeah the black steelies do look abit better :-)

if i was to sell this for 1500quid, dya think that is a fair price with the wheels? :)

around that id say yea! :)

This might sound like a bit of a dim question, but how would I or the body shop smooth the number plate area on the 16v front bumper?
