hi all
here is how it stands today after fitting new lower arms,
didn't think they were that bad untill i took them off
the bushes had come away totally
and the ball joint had so much play in ti it was like being at school again
,
notice the blue stripe,
i need to get some more side ones as mine have faded very badly

You've been giving that some polishing! Looks sweet.
Those that can, do; and those that can't, talk about it.

I really can't see myself turning up in my car. It looks like a taxi now with blue doors and blue bootlid. It still has a smashed up front wing, dented bonnet and half the bodykit missing.
Don't get me wrong I'd love to come over and see you all I just don't want anybody reporting back to Rawli what a state I've let his old car get into. Next few weeks and the respray should be sorted so wild horses won't keep me away after that.

Re: XR2i
2 things need doing to complete that rear end
Brand new Mk3 rear wiper arm/blade
Stainless exhaust (mongoose) - 3 or 4 inch rolled in
2i looks superb, but in the end i think you will go back to the standard wheels like i have done because std is the way forward
*****Amber indicators*****

good move getting rid of those colour coded mirrors, they didnt suit the car at all. i think with it not being lowered anymore the amber indicators and standard wheels will look better than the large wheels imo
