Comments: Taken me a long time to get it to this stage, but theres more to come
Bought the car standard 3 years ago, 4 owners before me with only 34,000 miles on the clock for £1,600.
First thing i did was change the standard rear lights and indicators for some black items, so it kind of looked like this.
Looked incredibly ghetto but at the time i was a bit strapped for cash so could only afford small mods
Next came wheels in the form of 15x7 ET40 Rota slipstreams with 195/45/15 Toyo proxes.
Eventually i got some black side repeaters and a debadged front grille also debadged the boot.
After that it was time for some lowering, some nice and cheap TA Tecknix coilovers were purchased and this was the result.
I did evetually put the Rotas back on but didn't get any pics
I really wasn't happy with the Rotas anymore so i got myself a set of schmidt Modern Lines 15x8's ET25 with 195/45/15 Falkens, also rattle canned my B-pillars matt black, but the less said about that the better, looked ok from a far but close up it wasn't a brilliant job.
So it was looking like this.
Then it snowed
And thats pretty much how it stayed up until someone decided they wanted to break into it and wreck both my doors
Un-phased by this i booked it into RGR garages in bedford for little bit of loving.
Things that were done in the bodyshop.
Both doors repaired and door handles replaced.
Rusty rear arches sorted.
Gloss black roof.
B-pillars returned to silver.
Bump strips removed and water damage underneath repaired/sprayed.
Rust on the bottom of drivers door treated/sprayed.
Picked it up on the 22nd of april and this is how she currently stands.
Phew and thats it so far, plans for the future are lower it more, new number plates, de-handle/debadge the tailgate and a 16v rear bumper, after that I'm not sure which way I'll go with it.
Anyway thanks for reading, any comments good or bad are appreciated
