just awaiting to get lowered to bout 50-60mm should look better in a good stance,then i wanna slam on my bonett bra, so there we have it so far peps ,any advise would be great,

Bodywork looks good compared to most 6n's :lol: like the colour but lose the numberplate surround :)

my advise would be to get rid of the bump strips

find yourself either 14" banded stealies or some dished alloys

and have it slammed

its a nice start my freind and i hope all goes well

Wheel will be on the list Cheers bud

Need some advise de badged or not? Or sprayed black?

It's on the up just waiting for springs to lower then on goes the bonnet bra

I personally prefer the silver original badge, depends on your car and tastes though :p

Looks like a copple of pics in the petty station are in crawley ?? nice to see some one around this area workin on a polo .. get it low but not too keen on that twin pipe but thats just me :D

Looks like a really clean base, and you seem keen to get stuck in!

I'm still working on my first car; you just end up blowing all your money on fuel!

Good luck on your test mate!
