shall be ordering an fk grille off them after my holiday!

once i work out all the insurance prices etc i'll take the rado down for some suspension i think.

had her tuned up at awesome + ht leads, ran sooo much nicer afterwards not too rich or lean, nice smooth idle, and really helpful fella's! was impressed with their knowledge

Nice one. I've got mine insured with Brentacre in Swansea (01792 650933), a modified policy that allows me to do almost anything as long as I keep it below 300bhp!! :twisted:

oo nice, im with directline, need renewing in about.. 4 months time fully comp with 4ncb is £590 so not too bad considering im 21!

might be a bit more if i do a few mods though, keeping it standard for now.

yay back from the bodyshop, a fantastic colour match i must say!

still a bit dusty but she's got a great finish on her and the work is great. £675 for the whole front end, mayeb a little pricey but the work is goooood

 

(see if you can spot my reflection!)

 

 

 

 

and the money shot!

 

 

more pics when she's washed and polished!

close up of the powerflow just to show its still in one peice after 2 months haha!

 

 

just to show how much i love it, i took a picture of me hugging her, looking like a total arsehole stood on my drive :D

 

jacked her up today on the std jack (on shail scary shit) removed 2 wheels blasted the arches, brushed off her calipers checked her discs and pads, and took the wheels round back for a session with the acid and scrubbing brush, looks a lil better but i still think they need polishing!

feels god ot be complimented by another rado owner! some guy in a white van was checking it out at a junction and shouts "nice car mate!" at me last night!!

 

 

heh, its still got alot of prangs and scratches from the previos 7 owners! the front end at least is all good now. gotta save for the million other things now :(

keep looking at my headlights since i coloured em in, was thniking of hammeriting them but i quite like the purple tinge the black marker gives, might laquer over it to keep it that colour.

new wheels next i think!

[Walesy 0]

im thinking you might need to change that sig now though...unless they leftt he factory with powerflow exhausts? :wink:

[g60_Pete 0]

fair point! listed all my mods now!

dont you think "powerflow" sounds really gay and crappy?

[Walesy 0]

urm...yes.... :D
