nice and clean mate, any more plans?

[Cle]

nice and clean mate, any more plans?

Depends what pops up for sale when i have money lol

[vx kev]

You never know what il crop up :d
Sticker looks good eh :thumb:
(without being disrespectful ofcourse)

[Cle]

Stickers are great mate thanks :thumb: i keep looking at them seats you have lol but i kinda like the gsi items to lol

[mrT]

well i'd deffo remove the sticker on the boot as it looks awful and weird, fair enough its a sign of respect but i mean surely you dont think its "cool":cry:

[Cle]

I like where it is tbh

[mrT]

fair enough just not my thing, you should spend around 300 notes in get it all painted and stickered up including roof as a gsi rep, and stick a set of slabs in fudflaps on it then your done:thumb:

[Cle]

Id rather leave my car with no wheels and on top of some building bricks than put slabs on it.

[moffat]

really like this, usual gsi kit etc with a wee twist. stickers look well. looked clean when you were down lad

Aye its a wee bit different from the usual, which i like :) but just got to wait and see what pops up to make it more different lol

[moffat]

lol fair point man. doesnt need much more tbh.

more is less, saying that i cant stop buying for mine lol

[Cle]

Its now sold awaiting pick up, boy came to view it last night. He already has a really tidy F reg red mk1 sr so hopefully its going into good hands :d

[wwmnw]

The only thing I'm not keen on is the rear lights, but I've never liked half clear/fully clear rear lights. I went for twin reverse, symmetry and all that lol

[Cle]

Well had a wee poke about at this the other night need to get the bumpers off at have a proper look but im deffenetly going to be making up some new splash guards as there rather soft offside one is totally shot, can only see top of lower front panel between bumper and it doesnt look to nice so ill be replacing that, and theres been a plate put on rear panel thats needs tidy'd up got some things id like to get done to this to wee list:
Chrome strut brace
Chrome rocker cover
Chrome header and screen wash bottle's
Red anodised rocker cover bolts
4 branch manifold
red samco hose kit
gsi dash to match rest of interior
lower back end to 60mm
bonnet red

Also bought a Mattig bonnet extension that im going to try and see if i like it.

[moffat]

Spent ages making mine rot-free, only to find when I was removing my bumper + boot seal that there's a huge girt hole behind the seal. Has only appeared and got to that size in the last 4 months..

Novas hey.
