I like both the gold wing and the airbrush design on it :). Guildford is a very nice place and I really like the old cathedral outside the city :). I was in Surrey University for a month or so.

So my wheels are knackered and I cant quite afford new ones, well I can, by I can only find 13s and they dont fit over my brakes so I decided for the time being to refurb mine with a change of colour.

well i didnt think it was but from looking at those last 2 pics it seems to be! That is with 2 12 inch subs, a jack, and some axle stands in the boot though, its not normally that low. Reverse rake ftw!

Nice to see a P reg Openair getting a new lease of life! Nice Audio setup too! I did mine in about 40 minutes - power cable, sub & amp setup and stereo fitted - door speakers upgraded along with a stealth shelf & 6x9's. Not bad!

looking good man, like the wheels refurb and the stencil. good job :thumbsup:

40 minutes is mental! Mine took quite a bit longer because we took the seats out and the carpet up to feed the leads through the middle of the car as apparently thats the best way to do it.

Just need to sort the idleing shit out now, it runs like a dog when i first start it. Determined to get to the bottom of 6n idle issues!!

White rear view mirror aswell to go with white wheels

ON THE SUBJECT OF WHEELS...time for a new set, the valver ones arent cutting it anymore. After a quick trip to Oxford and 100 quid shorter I picked up these sandblasted speedlines.

i know i had a go at painting them myself but the paint reacted so i just decided as they were cheap it was worth getting them sandblasted and powdercoated properly!
