I wouldn't ever have one of them stickers on my car no way couldn't pay me to put one on doubt i will have any stickers on it tbh was thinking of having "Because new cars are s**t" on the back window but not sure if it would get me some unwanted attention
That's awesome sticker to have!

Was an easy job really just took a while making it all out. Used tiger seal and some small self tapping screws to stick um on. Wheels are lasers and brakes are from a 306 XSi 266mm IIRC.

Looks great that does, looks better with the lasers tho i think, Rallye rep was my next idea but just carnt justfi the price on a re-spray when the car was only cheap.
Anyway picked up some tiger seal so on Wednesday (my day off) might get on with fitting the arches see what weather is like. Going round to get get some quotes on getting bumpers sprayed as well next week

Bit of an update
Been round body shops see how much it would be to paint bumpers and they said £160 so decided how hard can it be I've painted wheels before carnt be that hard to do bumpers, so spent about £50 on paint and prep stuff, rear bumper is now painted front will be painted tomorrow not a bodyshop quality job but not to bad at all (pics coming when I'm on pc)
Bits I got coming/collecting
Fully synthetic oil
Oil filter
New wishbone (ball joint fooked on drivers side)
Powerflex rear engine mount
50mm apex lowering springs
Full pugsport s/s exhaust system 2inch I believe will see tomorrow when I go look.
So will have plenty to get on with when bits come, carnt wait to see/hear the pugsport on a derv no idea if it will be any good or not but I love the look of them that's why I wanted it,
Pics coming soon
