Pauls 1.4 8v

Featured Replies

Okay so around 18 months ago I purchased this little beauty.

Since then along with 14k miles i've done the following.

Firstly I hit it with a lowering stick; clear indicators and debadged grill.

As funds ran low, i got a bonnet bra and picked up a 16v interior for cheap, i also de-badged and de-bump stripped it

I then saved up a bit and purchased some alloys in the form of le castlettes.

After a diy refurb and some playing with fly eye tint i ended up with

Then again my bank account disliked me.

This combined with massive boredom brought around my comic book phase.

Started with the grill surround

and then thought fuck it, and did the bonnet too...

and both on the car

So i then got bored of the alloys and picked up some new ones; 14 x 6.5 revolutions, with 20mm front spacers so that the 'rear wheel drive' wheels will fit properly and clear the brakes.

Also after crushing the third cat converter i decided to get a custom exhaust. The guys at infinity exhausts in Yate, Bristol hooked me up with a mid sport which is quite fun haha.

Then came pressed plates

These recently cost me 60quid but were worth it for the mean while.

So after having the comic book bonnet for a while i've decided to go back so clean and silver.

Firstly i bought a new grill surround and sprayed it silver and went back to the silver bonnet.

I also bought a 16v bumper, and i've resprayed it, from this:

to this:

And finally i've bought some new wheels!.

15x7 borbet T's:

254361_10150661671285006_582995005_18649

And that's it for now.

16v bumper is going on soon, aswell as a lovely new set of front coilovers to bring the front down another 10 or 20 mm.

Cheers bhey, always good to hear.

Yeah just needs to be a bit lower now, so a chassis notch might be on the cards.
