Well today i was bored so i took my wheels off and swopped them with the mrs car and both cars are so much better for it. I'll let the pictures do the talking.

i collected a supersprint middle section from vtcarl off here as he threw it in when i bought my car off him, so i fitted for her but no pics off the car as i forgot to lol but some rubbish pics fitted(notice the nice new clamps haha):

looking smart liking the yellow calipers against the black vts wheels

[dan-sport]

Update:

The front disc's had started to warp and needed replacing so we priced up new disc's but they were around £80 for the ones she wanted, so i had a quick look into brake upgrades and was able to get a set of 266mm 206 gti calipers for £28 delivered and a set of disc and pads for £49 delivered so they got ordered and last night i fitted them.

heres the pictures:

calipers after a clean up:


then after a paint to keep in with the yellow theme:


then the disc and pads turned up:


how it was before:

and finished:


only thing left to do is bed everything in then next on the list is a wheel refurb and a new set of tyres

cheers for looking

bad news car might be going bye bye soon, the mrs doesn't know what she wants to do yet but after tonite she will have a decision.

basically the car got broken into the other day and they took the stereo and sub.

pic of the damage:



not that bad really but its the fact she doesn't want to drive it or even look at it atm.

it will be getting standard interior back in and vtr wheels back on then will either be traded in against a new car (i dont want this to happen) or be sold but it won't fetch much as its only worth about £400 which is a shame as its mechanically good and the shell is clean as tbh.

oh well onwards and upwards i suppose, heres a pic i took the other day of it before all this happened:



been such a good fun car i really hope its not the end of it as id love to be able to give it the love it needs.
