Dave's Euro-ish moonstone, return of the banded steels.

[Dave26]

Right, there've been a fair few changes since the last time I updated this!

First of all were the gloss black and anthracite front and rear badges from Gareth7:






Then I went to see Chris (Dervpower) to get my backbox fitted. It's just a universal one from ebay which, it turned out, was far too short to fit my system. Chris managed to fabricate a join to connect the system and backbox and welded it up for me, absolute hero! Feels much nippier now I've got rid of the standard backbox, looks better and sounds rather nice!

Then it was off to RickyP to have her lowered, I was sick of driving a tractor! I had bought 60mm springs and front and rear shocks from Chris so the plan was to lower it 60mm front and back. Got the front lowered and it turned out it was a fair bit lower than 60mm, so I got Ricky to lower the rear 65mm. The rear still sits higher than the front, but although it would look better lower, it would probably cause my exhaust system to be ripped off as it sits quite low! Looks much better low imo, Ricky did a fantastic job and is a really sound guy, couldn't recommend him enough (also makes a decent brew!).

Just given her a quick wash and finally got the roof bars fixed on so took a few quick photos! The overall aim is leaning down the Euro route, although obviously the car is nowhere near "Euro" currently. My wheels and tyres are currently up for sale in the for sale section as I'm after something nice and wide instead! Any feedback would be great!


This is less than a weeks build up, smokey!!!
