Title: Mods at the Pod?
Post by: theolodian on 11 October 2006, 13:24:27

So who is going to be at Santa Pod with any mods to their Meega?  I want to do some window shopping!  Mainly I'd like to see if NE1 has Bilsteins, etc., although brakes are also an area of interest.  Other than that, I'm always game to check out some modded sound systems and any trick little bits (did someone say cupholders!?).  I'm sure others would like to check out your mods too, so don't be shy!

Well, I've got a few rust patches, a small dent in the front wing and a bent door trim - does that count? ;D

I don't think that qualifies as a serious attempt at speed dimples   ::) ;D

I have a mesh grill & black side repeaters, but then you've seen them & I'm not going in mine anyway!
Not long put an induction kit on, but I'm not sure about it yet, hardly noticable on tick-over & gentle acceleration, but doesn't half growl with kick-down/heavy acceleration!

IIRC someone on here has a cupholder that was from a Catera through US ebay?

I'd like to talk to you about the parking sensors sometime.  I have no idea where the back of this car is when parking.  :(

So you ain't putting your driving school car up the strip then?
Sounds like a cheap way of advertising to me as long as you leave the "L" plates on the roof.
