Mods already done

New number plates
Bottle opener (old style all metal one)

Mods in the pipeline

Can anyone tell me what my post count needs to be so that I can reply to threads on the forum, and send/receive PM's?

I want to buy an Ipod kit off demon666 but cannot reply to his threads nor PM him... Thanks  :smiley:

So here she is...

already ditched the charlestons for some phat 5's with 225/40/18 Falken Winter Tyres and fitted the coils  :laugh:

Think the back just needs lifting a smidge, coils only fitted yesterday so wanted to leave them to settle for a day or two

What do we reckon?
