iv been very lazy and have done very little,

 

i have got some new wheels for it now that i need to refurb and stick on, there very simular to whats on there at the moment, still 6 spoke but a little wider and white!

 

my st rear bumper from vonny2037 on ebay, it does come with the mounts but i will need to drill holes and stick bolts through them to attach it to the car (bolts supplied) the bumper also needs finishing as there are certin bumps and buldges that shoudnt be there.

 

other than that its good.

the first shock on the front took me a bit of time but once i got that done the rest was a doddle

 

i did have one fooking scary moment with my spring compressors tho, i had the spring sat infront of me (off the shock) and i was releasing the tension somthing went wrong and the spring shot up and nearly took my head off, that and one of the spring compressors landed about 10 yards away,

 

scary shit lol

 

 

 

 

on a more fun note
