Nice, should sink well at the front.

You not looking into wheels? I know where there's a set of 17" abarth going cheap...

How cheap my pal works in a place that specifies in alloy wheels, so it would have to be a competitive price. And I do like my alloys

£250 without tyres, seems a good price for similar ones I looked at while browsing

Its tempting, but as I said in the post, its something that will eventually get done this year, my alloys are in a decent condition really. Where did you find them just out of interest

My car looked freakishly clean when I got home from work today, so I got a quick picture. Nothing changed.. The springs have set in now.. Still not super low, but I don't mind because the ride is awsome now. Anyway, here it is.. Also I have a new badge to go on after I make some custom changes to it - in tune with the theme of course

Just got some nice 501's for my Numberplate bulbs and will be buying Abarth rear lights on the day of next months paycheck. Feel I have neglected the rear of my car so making some updates to that now

 

[Lewisgroombridge]

Just thought I would share my cleaning range. I'm a bit of an Autoglym sucker, love all their products. In the picture you can see - and I recommended:

Shampoo
Alloy wheel cleaner
Glass cleaner
Bumper and trim cleaner
Tyre dressing
Interior cleaner spray
Interior cleaner foam
Super resin polish

Thanks very much, I do love a good clean, and I know you enjoy that also

Below you will see my old rear badge, being replaced by a new one. The old one was no longer water tight and it was looking horrible. Took around 30 mins, no issues.

 

[Lewisgroombridge]

Got my spare Bulb / Disaster kit in my car now. In a nice little box that sits in the rear footwell. Just in case you know? And got some super glue in there in case of any major issues like engine falling out or wheels falling off - so all bases covered in a small box really under a tenner

 

[Lewisgroombridge]

Right then, next in store for Gary is some Abarth Rear lights and stickers for the rear badge and center caps. This will all happen after the 28th of this month - springs were costly, but well worth it. Got some chrome side repeaters in, that's all really. Next update will be when I'm ordering my Rear Lights

 

[Lewisgroombridge]

Sun was out today so took the opportunity to wash and polish, also found a nice place for my spare bulb kit / on-the-go cleaning kit.

Enjoy

 

[rossul]

thats a good place to store that

 

[Lewisgroombridge]

Thank you, nobody even sits behind me because I'm quite tall and require lots of the rear space

 

[Lewisgroombridge]

Got a quick picture leaving work the other day.. When I say quick I mean I didn't stop walking because I wanted to get home.

Abarth Rear lights to be purchased tomorrow... Pay day

Unfortunately that will be the only mod for a while due to money restrictions - also think my girlfriend is getting irritated I spend 70% of my wages on the car, and 25% on direct debits so think it would be good to hold off for a while - I want to tint my rear three with a very light tint soon - being a grey car already I think light ones would suit it nicely.

Cheers all - I'll obviously be around replying on the forum, but this will be the last update for a while after I get my rear lights

 

[Lewisgroombridge]

I like them, well worth it might be getting some light rear three tints on the windows now. I think they will suit with the wind deflectors and slightly more smoked abarth lights

 

[Lewisgroombridge]

I did manage to get out and clean it.. It was light drizzle while I did, managed to wash it, and polish the front, and also had time to wax the bonnet lovely clean car now.

I don't need a second opinion but I would like someone to agree with me on the light window tints on the back three?..
Anyone? It will only be 25% tint - so 75% of light can still get in ( think that's how window tints are measured)

 

[Lewisgroombridge]

Went a bit crazy and got some more things coming...

Pressed plates
Diadem Indicators
Nightbreaker "Unlimited"

The "Unlimited" Nightbreakers offer 110% more light than standard bulbs.. And 10% more than regular nightbreakers.. I was sold. I had to. My old 100% better ones that are in now can be spares
