Yeah some 4 stud struts and rear drums on - then a nice big set of 16's or 17's and some skirts. And yeah something with the bonnet - smooth it and maybe a vent of some kind
Looks good though mate

not really my style but if ur gunna go that way bigger skirts, bigger wheels , lower and smooth it right out
pugme
29-07-2007, 10:20 PM
heres an idea mate, to make room for some 19's why dont you get some escort cossie arches front and rear and adapt em to fit!! u need a bit of imagination but i think it cud look quite nice, and definately get rid of that sticker! less is more mate!! and for the bonnet once youv smoothed the lines have a look at a suburu legacy scoop, not as proud as a impreza and much more stylish! just a few ideas!

I was parked next to you at french car show, and i remember thinking that it needs lowering. Some gti type arches and skirts will allow you to fit 17 inch alloys on, mine is sat on 17`s and ive just modified the gti arches to allow the wheels to fit. The front bumper is quite low though as i had the same one fitted and i was only lowered 35mm but it did catch on speed bumps but that was with 15 inch alloys on, some bigger ones would have been better. Go through the cars on ebay and pick out the arches that look good, ive done that with wheels to see which ones suit a particular car. Get a progress blogg up as well, are you on our stand at trax.

Ive just realised that you have a gti rear bumper fitted, if i missed that then i must be getting old. A nice set of coilovers and then you can adjust the height so you can drop it for shows then raise it back up for normal driving. And it is a 1 litre so scootymad has another 1 litre owner to talk to.

29-07-2007, 11:44 PM
LOL!!
you did all that to a 1.0 litre
your crazy mate :)

It is a direct replacement as ive done mine, apart frm one peg needs cutting off. If you get after market arches then make sure they are held on with something other than adhesive, as mine started cracking untill i secruely fixed them. I can`t wait to see what it looks like at trax, probably the easiest and quickest job you can do is to de wiper the rear and remove the sticker. The mirrors look a lot better in white, i did mine just before fcs and i like them white. You can just see them in the background.

Have you thought about losing the max power seat covers just to de-chav a bit?
get rid of the seat covers, white dtm mirrors are the only acceptable aftermarket option, black sunstrip, and a front bumper change, that is so 1995! you thought about a smooth s2 gti bumper?

I don`t know if you were going to smooth the bonnet, but i quite like them when the bars have been extended and removed the badge. Color coded badge looks alright as well.
