Jones's Lude

[97lude]

Hi People,

I got my lude March 2010, its a 2.0 BB9, heres some pics from when I got it.









Since then I have replaced the radiator, disks and pads, clutch and gearbox.
Got some 17" Rota Tourque March 2011.









This easter did a road trip to Italy and back, there was some great roads and views.









On the way back from Italy I picked up a front lip.







Since then I've fitted some new window strips because the old ones were peeling,its the best thing I have done, makes the car look so much better. I've also tinted the lights and got some new wind deflectors, will post pics once I've cleaned the car.

Long way to go to pick up a front lip though

Looks super

Try and get the Motegi kit if you can; will finish off the car superbly

JayJay - Yep all went well cheers, car was a bit heavy because my lass decided to pack everything she could but all in all good.

Dan1979 - cheers, I'm waiting for one to pop up for sale.

Washed the car last night so thought I'd post the pics of tinted front lights and wind deflectors.

Nice one

Have ticked the 'profile update' tick box which gives you a jump box at the beginning of the post

Nice wind deflectors they really improve the car I think.

What route (roughly) did you take to Italy? My girlfriend is was born in Florence and spent her first 19 years there so we're thinking of driving back next summer .

Gorgon - Cheers mate, yep I like the wind deflectors nice and subtle.

My fiancee's dad lives near Lake Garda so we drive there and back each summer. The last route I did was down from Scarborough to Exeter because I had to work down there.

Day 1 - Took the early ferry from Poole to Cherbourg, France. Then down to La Rochelle for the night.
Day 2 - We drove to the Millau sky bridge and on to Avignon.
Day 3 - Down to the Col De Turini (Top gear route) via the French Rivera to in Genova, Italy.
Day 4 - To Lake Garda, Italy.

Back up we wanted to get home so...
Day 1 - Garda to Innsbruck.
Day 2 - (The long day) Through Germany, Holland, and then stayed the night outside Brussels, Belgium.
Day 3 - Brussels to Dunkerque and back up England to Scarborough via Birmingham to pick up my front lip.

Each time we drive we try and do a different route Switzerland is nice but you have to pay road tax to drive through there, the French roads have less traffic than Germany but are expensive and have a speed limit

Let me know what route you plan.
