  1. the main problem i have is the wheels offset means they dig in to my arches in any form of 'enthusiastic' cornering, i dont mind a hard ride but hate the fact my wheels are fucking the body work.
  2. Trisk, does that mean theyll sit 25mm further in than my current ones? this might be the answer to my problem!
  3. right lads! need a bit of help... decided I dislike my bolt on wings so soon as i source new front wings and front bumper they will be coming off. Ive finally realised my wheels are way to wide because even with 3 inches missing front the front arches, the coilovers set at their hardest and the springs wound as tight as possible it still catches. its just ruined all drivabilty looking to keep the front splitter, get feed style side skirts and livesports rear wing after i get my holiday out the way in august. but in the mean time i want the arches off and some narrower wheels (or ones
  4. as title says i'm after 2 front wings and front bumper, depending on price/location I may also need rear bumper and bonnet in 3M0 rose quartz (pink). must be in good condition! main priorities are front bumper and wings. PM or comment on this please. Sam.
  5. tired was not the word, was up for 36 hours (1 hour sleep on friday night at the services) and then 5 hours sleep on saturday night then out all day! were ya there in the glanza? shoulda came over and said Hi mate
  6. thats yours? yeah me and my mates were having a cheeky snoop round it ;) haha. i was perving on your front wings because they another thing on my list to do. nice car mate! thanks man
  7. Well after a very long weekend doing Japfest and Fastlane show and over 700 miles in 2 days im well and truly knackered! (could have done with today off work to catch up on sleep haha) got a few pics to upload but heres one my mate snapped yesterday of FuFu on the Carlisle Performance and Modified club stand he's photoshopped the wheels spaced out and its definately next on the list of things to do!! Sam.
  8. Great day! Thanks to those who organised it, home now after a 6 1/2 hour drive and being up for 36 hours :S Had some fun on the way home too following some UKSO members on the M5 taking rolling shots, will upload em tomorrow. Quality of cars on the stand was brilliant as well Sam.
  9. Cheers trisk! And Dan what's have you taken out of your coilies? because I don't want to be messing with the internals as I'd prefer it to handle like it does now but lower and yeah the threaded body of the strut goes down and touches the CV boot :/ not sure if I could chop thread off though because I think its got the internals behind. Ideally need an internal view of them. And wheels do need painted and spaced which will probably happen next month. Although I'm looking into adapters at the moment to try and run vitara Fatboy wheels haha, mate of mine makes adapters at his work for the local
  10. update - this happened. the D2s are maxed out on the rears, fronts have loads left but cant wind em down as they interfere with driveshafts (is that a know problem with D2 coilovers when going low?) anyway, thats it until after japfest. funds have been drained. shit quality pic i know but what do you all think? no doubt there will be a few negative comments hahaha
  11. Sell it as standard. Spares or repair for a couple hundred.buy a clean one for £500. Stick ya bits back on and job done. Then instead of saving for a glanza (£2k?) Save for a forged 4e or 5e to drop in. Save a heck of a lot of money in the long run mate. And itll cost you a couple hundred to swap rather than getting scrap value and shelling out for a daily that's gonna be reliable and fun. Oh and aviva for insurance, it was gonna be 1600 all mods declared for me this year (20 and 1 year ncb) with all other insurers. cost me 880 all in with them.
  12. relax mate, paint job isnt an issue unless you want a little show queen. but if the car has mad parts and big power then it can still be a show stopper in its own right even with a crap paint job. gonna paint mine next year with foam rollers (like you use for arts and crafts) and im not even joking. rather have it looking insane and stand out than pristine paint and boring. keep at it! and as for people abusing your car, who cares? theyve probably got some boring 1.6 mk4 golf on gaySDM's and air ride. and a couple years from now they'll have maybe upgraded to a audi a4 but it'll still be bori
  13. cheers buddy! yeah rear wing is whats needed now, lack of funds is holding it back though :S thanks man yeah not a fan of reps, they look good but the NA body (to me anyway) has way too much potential i'd never thought about the wings. any idea if they work with the standard NA lights mate? quite fancy some carat lights, GLS door handles (anyone know if they are metal or plastic painted chrome?), painted window surrounds and some type of rear diffuser. anyway, my mate did this.... Sam.
  14. dont give up mate! body work on mine is terrible too, ya just gotta think FUCK IT, do what ya want to it and worry about the body etc after. cant do everything at once
  15. does anybody know if you buy a japfest ticket duirectly from their website whether i covers just the driver or the driver and 3 passengers for entry? my mates going down in his fiesta ST with 2 passengers and parking in customer parking but is unsure what his ticket actually covers.
  16. so i fitted the splitter, pretty pleased with it.
  17. Ended up taking a hacksaw to them. Cheers for the help lads!
  18. Need to remove my 2 front towing points. Anyone know if they are bolted to the chassis or welded? Sam.
  19. top seller, good communication, fast delivery and my items were very well packaged. definately recommend
  20. thanks man, and yeah i want crystal headlights (no idea where to get em though!), facelift rear lights and some form of wierd exhaust. kinda wanna keep the standard N/A body though. but we'll see where it goes £70 ebay mate, cheap as chips. just type in universal front splitter oh yes! decapitating rabbits with it will be fun ;) probably whats gonna happen mate haha yeah, once theyre on ill see about spacing them out then wider wheels next year, be mad if i can get some 10j's on it, the arches will be wide enough for it to be honest! cheers mate,
  21. cheers haha, tbh im not even sure i like it! just want it to look different nah mate, lad never got back to me plus lack of money. but since i never got it i treated myself to a new splitter.... Its a little large hahah! these also arrived thanks to Stucat87, top guy, fast delivery and good communication. highly recommend him as a seller! these will be sprayed black to match the splitter in the next week or so. Mot on the 15th and it needed some new rear shoes so sat and fitted new ones last night, oil change this weekend and needs 2 front wheel bearings (f
