Got the swift in December 2011 an I hadn't really planned to do much at first but then the modifying bug took over.

This thread is proberly going to be a reyt mess anyway, doin it on my phone at work.

First thing I needed some alloys, I didn't care that they was like, found these set of wolfrace ones for cheep,

I also wanted to so something abou be discussing arch gap so got a set of Pi springs and it made a huge difference

I then went a got a set of gti springs a a standard spoiler, the skirts needed painting but still put them on,

Next was to sort out the music mainly the bass so in half a day chucked together a tidy boot build, but only sorted the visuals out so sounds abit wank atm...

good build thread so far matey, i wsh i'd took more photos when i built doris, but end up getting so involved building it just forget lol, those wheels look cool, (new summer ones) are they alley cats from an old lotus? look verry smular, what about pcd, are they correct?
and it'll be a right little weapon with the gti engine in Very Happy

Once this is built are you gonna bring it to Santa pod? It'd be good to see what times this will get and compare it to the times tank got using a 4wd setup alien
