Been Busy This Weekend.

Well after the "to do" list for my car was getting massive i thought id get my finger out and make a start. finally got round to changing my brake pads, fixing my dvd player, replacing boost hose, two tyres, fixing the bulb in my speedo, and a good wash and hoover (even if it did start snowing in the end)

Also tried on a tailpipe i had lying around in the garage, not sure if i will keep it on or not as i feel it may stick out too much? what you think? this is as far on as it can go...

And finally i got around to doing something about my green front splitter and skirts, well skirts and mk2 grill are a job for next weekend but i made a start!

ps: Craig if i had know you were out in the snow fixing your brakes yesterday you coulda come round and used the garage!

Anyway heres a few pics..

Interesting blue tinted indicators there. Good plate, well suited

Yeah im gonna changed them for rover 45 headlights eventually but it gets rid of the orange for now, also with my car being a tractor the "ZSD" in the plate is perfect!

Would you believe me if i told you my front splitter is Citroen "Poseidon Blue" or boy racer blue from the saxo??? i know your all gonna say it doesnt match now but its close enough for me, for less than a tenner!

also if you keep the tail pipe a bit longer and you tune it a touch, the extra length will stop some of the soot covering the back end...

it was my one argument about the derv's was that exhaust could have been finished so much better than the nasty OE silencer...
