Lude Generation

After being sorned for nearly 6 months i took it for its MOT (re)test today and it passed with flying colours (no advisories)
Brakes refurbed all round and handbrake reset, front and rear brake pipes cleaned and painted, new driveshaft fitted (brand new driveshaft from J&R fitted (under £90 for complete shaft). Also removed the rear wiper & motor & cleaned all the crud from the rear arches.
Im still to fit the newly painted front and rear bumpers and new alloy wheels.
I plan on doing these jobs over the next fortnight and then its time to get some road tax and get it back on the road.

Just got to get new bumpers on and tax it from 1st July

As the new front bumper has JDM yellow Fogs i will need to fit a switch and the short loom and relay(which i have) Everything is there so it is plug and play - lets hope the fog lights work
Also had to order a new front reg plate as old one if JDM size

New back bumper and support bar fitted.
New alloys & tyres fitted (215/40/17).


Just got to fit the front bumper and refurbed headlights.
Tax it on Thursday 1st of July

Taxed and back on the road.
New rear bumper is fitted and i am fitting the new front bumper with jdm fogs on Sunday.
Was a beautiful day so i took the lude out for a shake down spin - all is good but other cars seem to drive very slow

vanzep im very jealous your driving your 4g - cant wait to get mine built and back up & running

Alloys look great.

Gold really suits the car

Thanks guys - i do like the alloys - gold works well with the phantom grey
I have managed to kerb one of them already

also some careless person has hit my front bumper however all is not lost as this is the bumper im going to replace with a new one but im going to have to keep the lude on the driveway at my parents house if i want to keep it in good condition
