Evil motor! Needs a bigger spoiler though, the rear end looks a little weedy compared to the kick *** front end.

Indeed it does need a larger a spoiler and as soon as Trouser gets a couple of extra bits supplied to him, there will be a spoiler ni the paint shop getting coated in o7v!

POC et al that car has done 34,175 miles in it 16 month life I need more than elastic bands for tyres!

BTW it has been lowered an inche thanks to the rather lovely Eibach springs supplied and fitted by... oh yes, TSL!

Good although slower than normal drive home (and got over the massive speed bumps near me as well) best bits were the school bus of kids pointing at the front of the car and giving thumbs up, the merc going past saying "WTF is that" and the policeman in Guildford looking at the car with his mouth open!

A big thanks obvioulsy to the TSL crew; Trouser for once again (and continuously) coming up with new bits of kit to put me fther into debt, Graham for putting upp with taking over the workshop again, Becks for helping fit the kit and lifting the front of the car so it could get off the ramp (not kidding), and finally Glenn the man of the day that spent more time than I think he wanted staring at body kits and green paint.

A fantastic job!

Phil... LOL I guess if you asked nicely they might do it in some common colour like blue!

The dinner was fun and a great pleasure to be there, I hope Amanda enjoyed her day!

Cool

So after Trouser's pictures I thought I would add a few off my own, apparently without the requirement to spend anytime blanking out the plate!

How it began, Paul and Glenn working out that the lower lip spoiler goes at the front!
(Note for interest Paul not posing for this pic!)


Hmm a little bit of advertising never hurt... Graham about this loyalty card scheme!


Graham had just worked out the bill and apparently the loyalty card gets you a free cup of tea!


So the '01 can't be made to look aggressive then!

Phil,

It was good to meet you to... shame you couldn't get your project started today.

It looked so much better when it carefully came of the ramps though!
