  4. my first car (not one in picture) was my mums 5 door corsa 'b' in a rather nice blue/purple color i added some corsa 'c' sxi 15" alloys, was the business at 17 lol then part exed that for a brand spanking new 03 clio dynamique billaong bad pic but you get the idea, lowered 30/40mm with 17s, had a K-TEC racing exhaust with AHEM!! green neons for a while (fast and furios had just came out) not bad for a 18 year old ;-) then part exed that for the megane 2003 model on a 52 plate, 1.4 16valve, i ended up making this in to a 230 sport replica both bumpers, facelift front end with facelift lights, proper sport exhaust modified to fit, lowered 30mm all round, 18" alloys also did the full interior. was a cracking car until it started breaking every week, after having my brain tumor removed and finding i cant drive for 12 months i sold it, took 3 days to sell!!! now bear in mind ive just sold the megane and cant drive for by now around 10 months, 3 days after selling the megane, i bought the bmw!! not really driven this car much (a big car park down by the docks) but it feels so solid, i insured a friend on it for a week to check for any probs and all is looking good, still got 6 months til i can drive it but just gives me time to do it up a bit ;-)

    as above, but i wouldnt recommend doing yourself unless you have experience before. you have to clamp the springs down to stop them flying off when taking the top part off the strut. when they come off believe me they certainly fly off!!

  11. welcome to the forum to, excellent choice in car
  12. im not sure on that one, hopefully some one on here will no, best to check with your local ICE shop
  13. yeah, just pull gently. take the passenger side one off first
  14. you wont have to remove the rest of the dash though, i did as i was wiring the ipod lead to go under the arm rest. its fairly tight behind the dash to so if you have trouble, the glovebox comes off easily and you can get your hand thru to help pull any wires thru.
  15. you need to remove the dash trim then behind that there are 2 screws, one each side. unscrew them and itl simply pull out.
  16. good stuff
  17. winter just means thermals are needed lol ive been out all day doing a nissan almera , had a t-shirt on all day , was lovly and warm B)
  18. il use my old mans x5 then i hate working on silver cars, you just dont get that WOW! that you do with dark colored cars. evan my friends vxr didnt look to good to me, although he was made up B) engine came out ok though did all that as he was selling it, ended up keeping it :D
  19. PMSL^ two for £5 :P
  20. as this was a straight black car its the hardest color to actually get looking good! after claying i simply machined polished it using 3m fast cut plus, i swear by this cutting polish(been using it for a few years now). car was then given a IPA wipedown to remove any oils/polish etc i then went over it with glaze by machine (cant remember the glaze name, will check), then straight over with megs #16 wax this is a new wax to me and had only used on the girlfriends polo but after reading good reviews i new it would be up to the job, about 3-4 layers were put on the car. mainly for winter protection(took advantage of having the car inside the hall :D )
  21. handsome chap :P this should of been at the start, but bumper repaired and in primer freshly painted
