After a long drive I finally brought her home, the next day I ordered a brand new set of headlights from ID Workz as the ones that were on it were broken and milky, What a massive difference it makes. As the indicators were cable tied on and broken, I found a clear set on ebay for peanuts and bought them aswell.

I purchased a set of XXR 501's for the glanza until winter came and corroded the lips:( I also ordered a 96 spec lip but due to it being fiberglass the fitment wasn't

the best in the world. I got the tyres mounted on aswell as the front lip. As i was driving to work the next day There was a horrible whining noise coming from the engine bay, That turned out to be the alternator bearings. A second hand alternator from TD sorted that and with new belts and a service she was healthy yet again.

I decided to completely replace the entire exhaust system as the old one had been welded and welded and welded lol, Found a brand new mongoose system and got to work fitting it!

I found a decent set of Coilovers for sale and bagged them up quickly as the car just sat wayyyyyy to high for my liking so they went on fairly trouble free and she was looking just that litle bit nicer.

After looking at the state of the probably standard rear disks and pads I thought I better change them, They had 0 miles left lol, A new set of disks and pads went on aswell as all new wheel bearings.

The car was full of light little scratches that had accumulated over the years, and my mate had just bought a machine polisher so he very kindly went over all the paintwork and the results were amazing!

The time came for Fast show at santa pod, It was an awesome weekend an the car got some attention too!

Ordered some carbon eyelids from China, Cheap and they arrived within a week!

For some reason EP95 wing mirrors were on the glanza, they were switched out for proper ones

Time came around for a wheel change, as i'd started to hate the XXRs after debating what to get I went for a set Japan Racing JR11's. I think they suit the car so much better and sit perfectly.

The front bumper was mashed to hell so I found a 2nd hand replacement with a Cupra R splitter and it makes the car so much cleaner!

Few pictures from a meet on the weekend!

Next on the list is to get the rear window tinted as only the sides are tinted at the moment.
