then i thought i needed some lows, so i got some cheap 60mm springs (which are for sale currently) from venom, also bought at the same time the angel eyes, and some grey paint to paint the wheels (because they were in terrible condition), i did the badges aswell

after about a month of driving it around like that, i got bored, and at the same time my mate was selling the cades for £200, but needed a new set of tires, so i grabbed them off him and moved my plate to the bottom grille

then i decided i wanted to add a bit more colour to it, so at dubmania i bought some red stickers, then when i got home i bought some red spray paint and decided to do the mirrors and badges myself again

this was at dubmania:

stilll not happy with the way it sat, i treated her to some JOM coilovers, only cheap i know but to be fair, they're not bad at all! and it sat really nice on them:

i know its only "fake stance" or whatever but i put spacers on after this to get the back wheels sitting flush

my brother got me some lights for my footwell for my birthday, so i put them in and fell in love, i know its quite a 90's thing to do but i like it

then i bought some 6000k HIDs, didnt want to go for 8000k because IMO they're a bit too blue

easy enough pal, just have to whip the bumper off, wire them up correctly and put them in, they come with instructions

love this car cause its a little different, the wheels are exactly like something i would want, how much were they?

Keem

Looks smart mate!! May sound like a stupid question but I don't know anyone with a 6n2 so I don't know, has it got a body kit on it or is it just standard? The sills look kinda body kit like.... In a good way lol

  • Author

haha its cool mate, nah its all just standard 16v bumpers and sills

easy mate, wasnt hard, you just have to buy the neon tubes or LEDs off ebay, mount them and connect all the wires into one switch, mine are in the front and back :)
