That splitter doesn't work on a car as low as mine :( Just ripped half of it off reversing up my drive.

Luckily I usually park in a layby so when I fix it I'll just keep off the drive.

Edit: Looking at that pic with my bonnet open, I've just realised how messy 6N engine bays are. I'm thinking I might put the bay on a diet and get rid of any unnecessary shite.

Not updated this for a while. It's been a long time, but I've finally got new wheels on.

Heres how it was rolling until yesterday:

I bought some 14x6 BBS ra's a few months ago, and only just got round to getting them sprayed and tyred up.

Got the wheels sprayed in candy white:

Then finally (after about 5 months) had enough money to order some tyres. I ordered them all from mytyres at the same time, but for some reason 2 came one day and the other 2 the next:

Then ordered some longer wheel bolts:

Didn't get any photos of the wheels before they were fitted but heres some pics of how it sits now, massive improvement I think:

Well, Big update, in the fact that I sold it for some stupid reason. Didn't realise how much I loved this car before it went. Oh well, got something with a bit more oomph to it now, and it gives me something new to work on.

Heres the last (and best) pics of the polo I got before it went :( :

1997 Seat Ibiza 2.0 GTi 8V. First impressions are it likes to drink a lot haha.

Plans for it include subtle smoothing, 16's of some sort, coilovers and all the other stuff really.

I'm really liking the new look all white looks brilliant

you're right, it's never looked better than it did in those pictures.

if it cheers you up a bit about selling it, i think the headgasket was on the way out cos i kept finding white gunk in the filler cap.

'beeza looks nice and clean, will look great on the floor. 16's? interesting...
