Default My Saph Cossie

Pics arent fantastic i was cold too, and i was out mucking around on it at 7:30am this morn , still doing nigglys i want on it etc but heres the pics

as you can see its still stupid low , it is being raised to 25mm on Monday/Tuesday all being well and then ill get some new snaps then.

The Front Bumper is also different, eventually ill be getting a hold of a standard front bumper.

Windows Are Tinted, with a mirror like finish but there coming out real soon ... MUCH gayness

The colour on your camera is screwed mate and agreed that the windows tints are well and truly gay

When i bought my first sapphy it was that low too, why anyone does this ive no idea, yeah it looked ok but the car handled like sh@t, it bounced and skiped dangerously all over the road, wore the inside of the rear tyres out in no time at all and damaged the exhaust at every catseye. Glad you are sorting it as a cossie is to be driven and doesnt look "hard" when crawling over speed humps at 1mph with the missus on her hands and knees watching your exhaust.

looks good mate but lose the windows and speaker pods


my first 4wd saf was that low and i left it like it was lovely to drive and handled awsome round the lanes

leave the bumpers aswell its something different i just had my front one smoothed when i had it painted and glad i done it, i wanted the cut out aswell but couldnt afford to have it done at the time wish i did now

but got a spare bumper to have done at later date so not to bad

at the timing belt, that was a very lucky spot there M8 could have been expensive.

Nice looking car though remember to post up fresh pics once the windows and suspension have been done
