twofourten 0 Posted May 30, 2009 I'm over in the UK from 13th to 26th of June, will be in Romsey - can anyone recommend a good body shop near by? Also a good supplier/fitter of stereo equipment and alarms? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twofourten 0 Posted June 12, 2009 Car now booked into G-Werks from the 15th for some bits n pieces then going up to Plush Automotive for some sound/interior works too... I'll upload further info and some pics in due course... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twofourten 0 Posted June 24, 2009 Thanks for your advice and encouragement dirtytorque The car has now left G-Werks after a full stage 5 charger service, a good health check in general, a brand new 2 piece CAT back and new brake discs + pads - I still have another 100 miles to go before she is broken back in though and then I can open it up and feel the difference It's now with Luke @ Plush having some stereo work done and will be back in Jersey with me on Saturday, I'll put up some pics etc soon...

twofourten 0 Posted June 28, 2009 Corrado92.pdfIMG_1059v2.jpg[/attachment:1a1i7n2a]Plush Automotive I know loads of people say the rear speakers are not needed, these were just wired in until I get a new parcel shelf sorted. May alter the build in the boot over summer, now the spare has gone may sink the sub in there? - ideas welcome... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StormchargedVR6 0 Posted June 28, 2009 Nice work Jake, its going well then 8) Not sure about all that weight in the boot, i rather keep it simple and more power :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twofourten 0 Posted June 28, 2009 The sub is on clips so can be removed for weight or storage needs, but see you point - I'm still torn between the daily driver subtle mods route or going for b@lls out racing machine style?! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twofourten 0 Posted July 28, 2009 Finally got around to ordering the body mods I wanted & few extra bits viewtopic.php?f=3&t=75618 Started to plan out a complete back to metal and re-spray, will be a while away yet but I'll post pics once things get started...

twofourten 0 Posted November 2, 2009 Finally decided on the alloys and got that done - same suspension & height as before, but now with Cades Miras 17" & Falken 205/40ZR17 + spaced out 20mm all round by the guys at sixonetwo... IMG_1666.JPG[/attachment:3bh9s77k] Q: It is a bit close to the liner on the front arches though, can these be removed or do they serve a specific purpose? The car is going in for a spray today, so will come out with new bumpers, new lights & new shiny paint soon... :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StormchargedVR6 0 Posted November 2, 2009 Nice wok mate , would be worth getting archs rolled if your getting repaint :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

twofourten 0 Posted February 22, 2010 In order to fit the headlight adjustors I had to take the eyebrow grille out & must have not fixed it back well cos it blew off on the motorway?! Seeing as i was miles from home i found a Halfords and put this in as temp measure to stop too much dirt getting into the engine bay - I like it and am now working on a new eyebrow grille with a mesh front - what do you think?
