How life started out, got it the day i passed - 17th April 08 for £450 from my mums mate.

Few days after i passed, the exhaust fell off because of a rusted hanger, had a new one fitted. Cat-back.

Gave it a big clean.

Then i had a bit of understeer and smacked a roundabout curb in the pissing down rain. Everything was buggered, this was about 8 days after i passed my test and i was heartbroken.

Got the car to where i brought it from, as they had a garage. I was told it would cost clost to £1,000 to put right, so car was as good as wrote off.

Then my dad phoned a mate and he said he'd do it all for £400, and because of the favors he owes my dad he did it for £200, dont know what was needed but was a hell-uv-a-lot. New left wing fully sprayed was one, other stuff was to do with where the wheel connects.

Next was the side strips, full on ball-ache.

Had to leave it and do it the weekend after...

Beofre the T-Cutting...i think...

After all the T-Cutting and what not.

Then was the trip to GTI International, didnt have much dollar so just brought a de-badged grille!

Brought some P-Slots as i was pissed off with the standards. They set me back £60!

Love smoked rear lights, but they're all to common. Brought some red tint spray and tinted them myself :)

Also swapped my Slots and cashfor these Wolfrace octanes.

Just been keeping it clean, really. I lowered it but it needs to be lower in the front, i know that...also painted my door handle inserts white.

Got myself a nice GT Interior and GT Steering wheel from BigStu!

Couple from a meet...

I have these 13"s ready to go on...just jacked it up to see what they were like.

Went to nottingham to get a friend to help me fit central locking, and his GF gave me a mk2 golf splitter...love it.

Somewhere down the progress i got german plates, forget when though!

Well, thats took me a good while to do. Comments would be nice now :p
