1.8 Meridian Project

[jpc]

So I've been meaning to do this for a while. Here is my 1.8 as it stood when I bought it a few moths back, already had induction kit and ariannes fitted.

Soon after buying it I had both the front wheel bearings replaced and had 2 new tyres. The windscreen wiper motor was faulty so I replaced that as well.

Then did a few things to tidy it up, replaced the front wiper blades with aero blades.
De-wipered.

De-badged.

Callipers painted yellow.

Then a good clean.

I didn't do much for a month or so being at Uni but recently when I was back I ordered a customer rear badge from Galpin and some pressed plates.

Lows is next on my list just waiting on someone local who can do the beam for me. At the moment it seems to be riding extraordinarily high, looks like it's been jacked up haha.

Yeah I like the colour, not a popular colour on the forums it wouldn't seem. I like that it's a bit different.

Meridians do ride high, it's comfort spec, that's why you get the nice 4 spoke leather wheel and half leather leaf seats as well.

Putting big wheels on just makes it even higher unfortunately.
