Floor mats first! Don't bother with the yellow foglights because you won't be using them will you?
Don't tint the headlights, just get crystal lights.
Don't get coilovers either. They don't handle any better and you'll get better quality springs and dampers for the same money.

Yeah they are Nimrods Came on the car!
I want coilovers, because I don't use the car for a daily. It's just something I use when it's too wet to get either of the GSXR or the WR. So it wont matter if it's a s**t ride, or anything like that. It'll look cool 
Yeah, crystal lights were an option. I think that's what I meant

Crystal lights are std gti lights. Phase 2 rear lights are a good upgrade with phase 2 boot strip

I'm new to modifying a small car like this, and even newer to french cars. So I might need some links to what I'm looking for. I know I want different front and rear lights. Clearer and smoked would be better. I like the moody stance of a all blacked out car sitting loooooow

So I cracked on using the car, all the time it getting more and more camber on the offside rear.
Decided to take the plunge and drove up to Luton to a breakers who offered me a NON-ABS rear axle for £50 notes. Bargain.
So cruised up there, picked it up and got back to find that I can't find any of the bloody tools needed. I can't find my wheel brace, axle stands or trolley jack. Hmmm Anyway, heres how the axle stands, it's not the cleanest but the guy said I have a 4 month warranty with it and if anything goes wrong or isn't as it should be he will replace it.
Also, got this for pennies..
Also, spoke to OMEX about supercharging this beast, it'll cost me £1100 or thereabouts for the management. All I'd need is the charger which I can find cheap enough on the 'bay!

Yo guys.
So I still haven't gotten around to fitting the new axle, mainly because I nee to get a brake pipe bender and a flaring kit. Has to cut all the brake pipes coming off the axle and will need to make up new ones when putting the new axle on.
Anyone close to gu22 guildford/woking have any of those parts? I may need help getting the axle back up onto the car too. Tea and beers provided!
