Update ahead.
Since last time a fair bit has happened. I gave the car a full 3 stage one weekend and although there are still marks in the bootlid and both bumpers along with many others throughout the car it is relatively clean for its age i guess.
Im hoping everyone notices that the left side of the tape is after xD
Came up alright in my opinion and made the world of difference to the car.
Next on the list was the interior, unfortunately ive no before pictures, just trust me it was very bad.
Half leather seats picked up along with the hdi skirts for good money too.
Actually made sitting in the car bearable now. I did make the mistake of buying 5dr hatch seats rather than sedan seats and this made fitting the back seats a bit of a job but i managed it albeit a botched job.
After the seats i changed the struts in the boot as the old ones were completely gone, made such a difference and very happy with it.
Then came time for test, so i stuck 2 tires on and sent it expecting it to fail on a few things, lo and behold passed no bother. Full years ticket and a very happy man leaving the NCT centre. Got to straight piping it and lowering that evening and this is how it sits now.
Ignore the broken hockey stick theres one on the way. Fairlt happy with the end result tbf. This will be how it sits for the next few months or until it breaks down but next plans are a turbo engine and ph3 conversion in bianca white.
