alloys refirbishment- see other post
tinted windows - is this somthing i can do myself ? would it look right on an estate?
Shes going to get her body work clayed and waxed when i am between exams and the weather is right.
what are those thngs that you can place on the end of the exhaust??? hubby wants one..
what else could i do to her???? What have you guys done to yours?

Please don't try and tint the windows yourself! It only ever ends in disaster! Been there done that, spent a fortune...
P.S. Tailpipe trims just rust, look sh*t and fall off, better to get a cheap backbox...

Tinting is a real challenge and best to pay someone.
You can get a nice tip welded onto your back box at a decent exhaust place. Just don't get a cheap one! (I actually used a silenced tip once instead of a back box and it worked great! Wasn't a miggy though.)

im more for looks rather than performance these days....
tinted windows are a nightmare to do and get a good finish on, personally a nice set of alloys, a irmscher back box, elite grille, maybe even some facelift mouldings done in the body colour.
roof rails done in body colour as well with, and then start on the interior (leather)
nearly all of that cold be sourced off ebay and non of it would be a kings ransom
if you wanted to be a little different sourcing a C2.0XE and loom would instantly give you 150bhp at the flywheel and i am right in thinking that it would drop straight in (sump swapped with current 2.0)

please, please please listen to everyone who's said that tinting windows at home is a bad idea, i done it myself on a uno turbo once an absolute disaster ! theres a bloke here that'll do my jag for £150 and thats all of em front and rear, so its cheap enough, make sure aswell that they'll tint right up to the edges of the glass otherwise when the windows half open......... :-? , vauxhalls are one of the easest cars to mod, everything just plugs in, just find an elite or mv6 being broken and have all the fancy bits off it, one of my best mates does custom chrome exhausts anything from tail pipes to full systems, none of its expensive these days, as far as your cars bodywork goes as a valeter might i suggest using maguires, it is the best ;D
