Next I tackled the badges as I hate standered badges so I bought some orange
and black over-lays as this is my scheme for the car.

When they arrived

Image

Front

Image

Rear

Image

Center of stearing wheel (sorry about pic I couldn't get the camera to focus)

Image

I always thought the car was running a bit off so I bought a pipercross panel filter.
I went for a panel filter instead of an induction kit because my insurince company
wont allow induction kits.
Will fit one at a later date.

Recived it the day after I ordered it

Image

Image

On the mk6 and 6.5 its a nightmare to get to the filter as when the get the box
off the top of the engine you see this

Image

10 yes 10 star key bolts that you have to remove with the star allen keys :annoyed:

That dont time to inspect inside and - OMFG

Image

Image

Thats never been cleaned or changed :annoyed:

Old one out new one in

Image

I have noticed better preformance. Mainly on the torque side of things.

Next it was time to fit my side strips.

Image

Image

I decided to have Zetec S put into it as thats what I have

Image

Next I changed my rear wiper arm

Before

Image

Lifted the cap to reveal the nut that neded undoin to fit new on on.

Image

The differnce between the two

Image

New one fitted

Then I decided to order a strut brace.

Image

Image

Then fitted it

Image

Unfortunatly I had to remove it as the air box was hitting it quite bad :bigcry:

I was toying with getting my alloys powder coated in black and orange
(photoshop)
Image

As I was thinking about it I pulled out another set of alloys I had to see if they
fitted. They did and looked like this (pants)

Ordered a new sticker from DMB with my own design :D

Paid a bit to much but it looks loads better than nothing there.

Dan did a great job so a big thanks to Dan at Zippy :thumb:
And a big thanks to Gaz (from BOEC) for the springs :thumb:

The differnce between standered and lowered springs
Image

How it now looks (before a quick drive lol)
Image

Image

Had a quick drive and it setled a bit more
Image

Up against a small curb
Image

And the Strut Brace
Image

Then same day I had a little bump. I was extreamly tired and bump a KA slightly.
No damage at all to the KA and not much to mine apart from a slight crease

Image

Lucky I havent yet got it sprayed from when some one hit me and drove of in a
car park. O well I will sort it out 1 day. My fault for driving home tired.

On the 17th of jan (last year) after fitting my CD player I was on my way over to Treorchy to
meet south wales branch of BOEC at Steve and Mels to go to the autosport show in NEC in
Steve's Mini Bus.

Well just out side Treorchy I hit a pot hole and buckled 1 of my alloys

So went to halford and ordered a new set of wheels I have always wanted, Team Dynamics Pro Race 3's

Image

1st coat of primer

Didnt think as was probally still bit tired but should have sanded before this.
This is why I should have sanded.

Personally I think he should give me a bit of discount. After all I did help him out
a lot to make them. I sent s**t loads of photos and mesurments off to him :lol:

Also as I had a very small amount of primer and black I did this

Image
