Cheers mate. You gotta love the 1.2's ;)
Had a look at your thread, the grill does look nice. I'm gonna do the same or. Colour code it and then uise some black mesh to de-slat it

Needs lowering, and a bigger engine. Then it will be sorted!

i rest my case :)
i dont earn enough to pay for such things at this time, and seeing as the claim on my insurance from the crash i had in the silver saxlow has come to £20,000 i dont think i'll be able to insure anything with a bigger engine for a while lol

JoshB 7th February 2011 18:14

£20'000!!!! What did you do!!!

Cripes! Well you can get it lowered for little monies, just go down a bit and stay on standard shocks to save cash. It will look alot better. Just 40mm all round will look nice and will be fine to be honest on standard shocks.

And you dont have to tell the insurance company if you put a VTR engine in there... :oops:

Looks the part though!

i hit a parked 10 plate meriva which then shunted into a ford ka that was infront of it, there was a car infront of me blocking my view so i didnt see them, but that swerved out of my lane infront of the bus next to me, so i didnt have time to break and i couldnt change lane, but because i hit the cars and failed to stop it was my fault.
and yea i think i will be going 40mm at some point but i'd rather get the body work sorted for now, maybe a vtr/s engine some time in the future

twist 10th February 2011 09:13

ok changes have been made to the plans, going to be doing repair work on the car on saturdays now rather than having the car in the body shop all week, decided i dont really want to be off the road for that long at the moment, should have pretty much all of it done this saturday though, i'll upload some before and after pics as the progress happens

twist 13th February 2011 09:37

ok so the before and after pics wont be happening because i forgot to take my camera to work and my phone doesnt want to sync with the pc, but progress has begun. photo's to follow within the next few hours :)

Rob-6 13th February 2011 09:50

posibilty of the car being finished this saturday if my boss lets me have the day off on friday to work on the car, will update on his answer tomorrow :) keep the comments coming please folks, and should i do the spoiler in icelandic grey or gloss black like the roof?

billytalbott 16th February 2011 18:36

what was your bosses answer mate!

twist 16th February 2011 18:42

turns out my boss doesnt sort the holidays out and someone else who had already finished for the day does, gonna have to ask in the morning. was rather annoyed as i'd had to wait right until the end of the day to ask as well haha

BMJOE 16th February 2011 18:48

Ice grey FTW! Good job so far mate! spoiler will look best black imo

Looking good, be nice to see it when its all done :)

twist 17th February 2011 18:06

Boss gave me the day off work so the runway is clear for me. Spending the next 2 days solid on getting it ready and hopefully painted. Bought the mesh for the widemouth today. Thoughrt it would have been a little less than £30!!!!!

Dano 17th February 2011 18:54

looking good mate

gonna wide mouth my bumper soon too :y:

Fojdizzle 18th February 2011 07:38

Awesome car man, rep the ice grey.

twist 19th February 2011 18:47
