Had it a while now but haven't made a thread as if I'm honest I planned to keep it completely standard.
Owned a blaze XSi but got shot of it (immobiliser issues, alternator was on it's way out, needed a new battery, insurance was expensive etc):
After a couple of days I came across a D Turbo, 147k, 4 months MOT + tax for £400 - full service history and very well looked after:
I did want to keep it standard, but within 30 minutes I was at Fozzy's house where I picked up another set of alloys (mostly for the better tread - a bridge until I found cyclones).
Fitted the ph3 bumper + new wheels but no fogs (yet):
Also sorted hockey stick as it was bugging me not being there.
I went about a month without wanting to do anything else.. last week my wheel fell off leaving me needing new discs/pads/wheel bearing : (
I've been a bit short on funds to pour into things that don't really need doing, but I'm picking up these next week:
Plans:
-30mm drop (done, but ended up being ~50mm)
- bosch conversion if i can find one
- source replacement O/S wing as mine bent in the accident (done)
- new exhaust, not sure how long this will actually stay on for looking at it
- ph3 side strips or paint existing strips + clear repeaters (done)
- crystals! (done)
- cyclones (done)
- half leather gti interior (done)
- upgrade audio system (done)
- stage one tune (done)
- wishbones/balljoints/drop links/bushes/TREs/discs/pads/wheel bearings (done)
eventually i'll go power hunting but for now i would prefer to sort how it looks - that's just me though.
