A quick hello and pics of me ol' black booty

Hi yawl, just joined and thought I'd post a few pics of my ride. (although it looks like I been beaten to it as I've seen a pic of mine in the Spring Festival thread)

It could really do with a respray as it has 135,000 miles of scratches, stone chips and dents from other peoples doors but I know a man that can (when I've got the dosh saved up )
It's a 2L 8v atm but will hopefully dropping in either a 2L 16v ( ABF) or a 20VT .
It was lowered all round (Bilstein Sprintline kit) but I had to put the standard springs on the rear again as the 18s were touching the arches ,not at the top as I first thought but at the front of the arch(roughly at the same level of the side strips)
and being that I drive my 3 growing kids and all their clutter around in it a lot the tyres weren't going to last too long. So until I've got the arches sorted it'll have to stay as is .

They are 18" Lenso Mesh (DTM on the centre caps)


Btw, the new bumper has arrived today and hopefully the grill will tomorrow so soon the front will go.....

to this : ( I've had the idea of doing the arches like this for sometime now but it looks like someone has had the same idea.)

How the hell did i miss the follow up on this thread i love it mat the bumper really looks the part especially if you are gonna flare the fenders aswell do you think you will youd have to do the rear arces aswell though i would have thought.
