First i debadged the rear and got a set of new number plates as the others were faded.

then i got it up on the ramp at work and banged on a new set of front discs and pads.

then my new grill and bra came from ebay nice and cheap

put my debadged grill on

and the bonnet bra

i've now touched up the rust on the boot lid and a bit on the drivers door, and drilled out my airbox which actually makes a surprising difference!

got my new big bore backbox coming monday will add pics when its on.

up load them on image shack or something like that, then they will adjust to 800 if you selected the right 1,
