So if youve got new wheels and your mums got your old ones, whats happened to your mums, cos you know ive been after them for a while, let me know if your getting rid.
 
fitted my old alloys to the silver one.

still not done cleaning it...gonna have the wheels off and paint rear trailing arms with hammerite and what ever else i can find. need to do the cross member agian aswell...

still needs new number plates. front one got an advisory on the MOT as its cracked. and rear one has got water inside it lol.
 
looking good dan i think a 50mm drop would look wicked on your car and to keep it nice and suttle

how ya lessons going on ?
 
itrs okay but you have to layer it on to get good results ;) altough wilko sell foam stuff aswell as aerosol :)

brought some tyre cleaner from home bargins for 99p today its alot better stuff for the same price :p
 
well my mums micra is going for its MOT and the tyres on the split alloys aint that good (side walls cracked (advisory) and not far off the limit, so they might frawn upon them) so swapped them over yet agian...just gonna keep them on now. and shes keeping the standard black ones.

Just wondering but whats with everyone obsessed with dan passing his test, well apart from obvious reasons... but theres something about it in all his posts lol:laugh:
 
lol cause up to now he seemed to know everything about cars and driving them...even though he had no licence....
 
update on my car. sadly no pictures.

car has had some new alloys...another set of OEM ronals.

they have been re-furbished in ford graphite grey. and have the standard firestone firehawk 165 tyres. (want 185's ideally lol)

also brought some 5mm spacers for the rear...

silver-tec indicator bulbs have been fitted on the front and sides.

and fitted some 94-99 mudflaps (removed the white micra logo from the rear flaps with emory paper, just to make them look abit diffrent :p)

also have my front splitter on agian, fitted correctly this time with self tappers not wood screws haha

and a OEM civic EP aireal...(small black one) witch i dont like as it looks abit daft. so gonna get a small black plastic one.

pictures to follow!
 
well i have fitted everything....and i have just got a primera 144 oil cap (looks better then the standard almera,primera,sunny and micra one) also got a set of small black plastic super s style mudflaps and a 2001 boot handle in silver (gonna paint it)

car looks spot on now :)
 
You want to watch with those clear tail lights as I had some on my car and got pulled by the police due to one of my indicators not working and when they checked the car over the told me to remove them as they didn’t have the e stamp on so they where not road legal it really ####ed me off as I had just sold of my standard ones also something about it not having a red reflector on either :(
 
heres some pictures with the wheels and flaps on :)

i was gonna courlor code the flaps...but i think they look okay in black. adds abit of contrast lol.
