Its been just over a year now since i bought lukes(manphibian) old gen6 GT. Since then ive crashed it into a lampost in the snow. Fitted a new bumper and crash bar to sort that one out. After that ive had on going idle problems for almost a year which i hope will be sorted this week with a replacement thermostat. The skirts began to lose more and more paint and with the replacement bumper looking tatty ive decided to have the car resprayed (same colour). Most recently my driveshaft snapped which was pretty shocking. Just replaced the driveshaft and cv joint.
Ive also decided to paint the alloys white when the car goes to the spray shop. I bought some 17" Dezent wheels to put it on while its there (£55!) which im guna refurb and sell on! Il get some more pictures of the car as it is at the moment later in the week! This post has been edited by Tom88: May 6, 2010 - 9:15 AM |

^^^ Nice mods!!! Also I wonder if you lower and install the mud flaps. They might drag. I have OEM height and my mud flaps barely miss the road, but when I have people in the back seat then they rub against the road.

Yeah im not so sure now, i didnt think about it at the time though. However 90% of the time its just me in the car and occasionally my gf so it wouldnt be a problem most of the time although there are a disgusting amount of speed bumps in my area. Il give it a go anyway! |
