thought i would update my thread, got a few plans for her at the moment.
Just added a square plate to the front




Have also just won a set of speedline st2 16inch in gold on ebay for £50.00 with tyres , so they will be going on this week.

the rest of my plans at the moment are

Ninja Sports cat
walbro fuel pump
get the original spoiler back on but need the tailgate resprayed first as the spoiler i have on now has gone all lumpy and looks s**t must be cause it was an ebay jobby (woops).

Also i dont no if anyone can help but when the car is in direct sunlight the paint really shows up like swirly and looks dreadful! i have tryed meguairs polish, wax etc but doesnt seem to bring it up??

Get it polished professionally. May cost £100 or so but it'll get rid of the swirl marks and is a lot cheaper than a respray

Worth checking out the car care section, I'm no guru, but you should only need to wax it every 3 or 4 months. The swirls though will be down to using cloths or sponges that are dirty (gritty) or a polish that has a cutting agent in. Also, you should pre-rinse the car prior to washing to loosen any road grime - snowfoam is the latest thing for that

recently bought an mg zr 160 in place of the scoob but realised nothing compares so now back with it and so happy

Got a few plans for her so ill use this thread as my progress. Want to try and get the looks back to standard bar a couple of things, took the mudflaps off yesterday, think it looks cleaner without them.

before




after




next is to look for another bootlid and get the old spoiler back on cause im not good enough to weld up the holes and respray.
