Rowbo's fn2 progress

rowbo · 28th March 2011, 23:00

thought id have a go at this having seen everyone elses

i picked up my ctr 2 days before christmas and this is how she looked on christmas morning

my christmas present

i hadnt planned to mod anything but my cousins husband pointed me in the civinfo direction and thats where it all started to go wrong

first thing to be done was a rear window and 1/4 window tint with 5% tint by barry fimister @ auto tint in kirkcaldy

next "styling mod was my civinfo sticker , i think i actually have it straight

next up was the heko wind deflectors

followed by the hks racing suction kit from cazza @ sumo power , fitted by me and my mate Jamie

my birthday followed and my wife bought me one of my most favourite presents ever

i call it my geek hoodie

i then bought myself a skunk2 gear knob and the eibach 15mm pro kit again from cazza @ sumo power i was so excited when we were fitting them i forgot to take pics ! when we started to fit the springs it became apparent we had damaged the drop links so had to order a new pair

then i bought a blueflame cat back but again forgot to take pics

my most recent additions have been a sumo power oil cap and HiD lights and LED sidelights with pics to follow once i take them

Great work and progress so far! So what's next?

also the side photo has given me a great indication of how low mine would sit with the -25mm drop. Still can't decide between the pro kit and abp/eibach.

Cheers! But the only thing I can aim for is looks and its a long way off how I want it to look. I'v 2 more weeks of uni FOREVER

left, followed by 2 final exams then hopefully get a REAL job and none of this part time crap, then maybe I can either make my car how I want it to be or sell and get an R

rowbo · 28th March 2011, 23:27
