The ITR spoiler is gone now, swapped it for my headlights and that 'Pipercross' lip. Nearly bought a ZS spoiler but it was yellow, and I decided I didnt want to paint one, as I'd only botch it :)

It will be a while yet as matey who's doing the spoiler is on holiday, typical aye... But I hope it gets finished and fitted sometime next month! :D

Get yourself a fibreglass kit from halfrauds, only 11 quid with a trade card! (13 quid normally i think) :D

Bummer.... but that's a really good deal! Did you swap it with matey called Anthony on C5 Facebook?

I was going to do it myself but matey from repair shop said he will do the whole lot at a good price.

 

He haven't gave me a price yet but he resprayed a few things on my car before :)

Oh yeah some good news and some bad news... My car now drives straight and no more noises! :D

 

I replaced the top strut mounts, drop links and bottom ball-joints today. It still pulled to the left so I took her straight to another garage to get tracking done. The tracking was completely out (even though it been done 8 months ago)

 

The bloke who done the tracking said he swapped the wheels from front to back because the NSF wheel is buckled and cracked from the inside :( I cannot believe I didn't notice this because I have my car up on ramps every week! Oh well, atleast it's holding air for now...

Cracked rim is a pain, at least it drives straight now though.
