wow i have spent too much money on this car! haha! its worth it!



thats all for now will take some more and put them up!
 
Looks good.

Do you get pulled much for that rear plate? Its only allowed on cars registered before 1973. I use to have pressed plates like that on my old XR2, it was still illegal but being a 21 year old car i thought i might just get away with it. After getting pulled 3 times and being let off, i finally got fined 30 pounds for it.
 
Looking good so far. Liking the rear numberplate, although I suspect it might be a tad illegal.
 
Lol ^^ I thought that too Vix.

@Steve - Nice project and good work on what's gone on so far!
 
i only got pulled the once but got fined for them so had to take them off! did push my luck and keep them on for a week after though! i have a nice new legal one for the front now!

Erm. Thats still illegal :lol:

But your less likely to get pulled for it because a) Its the reflective and the correct colours and b) its on the front of the car and not (within reason) as noticeable.
 
haha! dont talk to me about insurance companys! i have 2 on going claims both are the same stupid blonde woman in big range rover didnt see me and drove onto the side of both my cars my fiesta was written off but will be going back on the road next week and my pumas not soo bad! the only mods they would be intrested in are the lowering springs and the k and n really! both easy enough to remove if it comes to it! i had to put my fiesta back to standard before i let the insurance company see it!

Looking good!

shame about those plates they looked ace!

minus the engine change ( coming soon ) and the number plates you have a lot of mods I do or very close lol.

check my thread if you have time (project black and green now red - actually it needs updating! )

don't suppose you could write me a quick engine swap guide at all could you?

where to unscrew and in which order etc? anyone else know of one going around?

I have a good idea but would like to know anything from people with experience!
