Welcome back to the VXOC FORUM.
Sorry for our lack of support over the last year but MYBB is back and so are we.
Let's get the forum buzzing again... (March 25, 2022)x
Bit of a background. Bought our 1st house nearly 3 years ago. Previous owner had made quite a few questionable alterations to the house. For example removed the front door and fitted at the side. Made to living rooms and moved the kitchen to the side of the house and in turn made it very small. All this resulted in 3 very weird shaped rooms. Anyway the house was the right price and ticked all the boxes. So 12 months ago we made a start on putting the house back to how it should have been and sorting the rear garden out. This has resulted in the car taking a bit of a back seat and the front garden been left to go wild. Luckily there's only a bush and 1 flower bed that is just full of weeds. The flags that ran along the front of the house were all uneven so we have lifted them and done the following
So this run's along the front of the house from where we re-fitted the front door. It's filled with green slate and two flower pots. As you can see we've still got a load of work to do as the drive is a combination of tarmac and concrete. Not sure what we are going to do yet. We also need to build a wall around the garden and remove the bush that is currently there.
Would people suggest what colour to paint my calipers, I've had green on for a while now and have got bored.
Really stuck what colour to choose.
Cheers
Hello all. My name is Simon from Coventry, currently driving a white 61 plate Astra J SRI 1.6 Turbo. Modifications that are in the pipeline are powder coating the 19s to black, get chrome grill and rear badge wrapped to black and de badge astra and turbo off the rear, get it lowered and then black out the windows. Engine upgrades will include panel filter, dumpvalue. But will keep all updated with progress.
