Needs some work doing on body, might lower it but not overly bothered lol, yeah I might do the badge Matt black I think but will see :) hehe thanks for the love though :) got some mad ideas for a paint job gonna tint the windows a little and going to re pad and cover all the seats ,

You've got a good base whatever you do.

I would definitely think about lowering it though, Much more fun to drive and looks 10x better.

You need to get this pulley!

Ok on the way to do a few more things . Passenger door is dinted at the minute but have replacement and it's been taken to be sprayed,

Going to be getting it lowered soon. Are coilys worth it ? Or should I just go with new springs n shocks ?

Had the exhaust done . Full stainless, will add a picture and video when on laptop :) makes it sound menacing aha , may silence yet but it's fun for now

Sounds great :) Looking forward to more pictures. You don't often see black coupes, and it has headlight washers. Do they work? :)

Well the cheapest coilovers are £500 or decent ones are about £700. Or you can get some really decent fixed platform HnR shocks and springs for £400ish.

Yeah don't bother with coil overs dude, Not for that price. Your not bothered about fine tuning the handling or arch gap so get a decent set of shocks and springs.

I wouldn't ever bother getting a cheap kit , either off here of eBay because they soon get very annoying and generally shake the car to bits their that stiff.

Get some pic's up of this exhaust! where you get it done? You've got some right cash lol
