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 :)

Also i need pics of it that aren't outside my house lol.

Nice car mate :)

just bring it abit more lower and it will look sick!

like the black roof too

Thanks for the comments.

Was meant to be lowering it more this weekend, but i've just been to damn busy

wheels look quality mate, are they brand new?

lower the front end more and it will look sick :-D

Thanks mate

I've had them wheels since september last year.

Looking Sweet! Lol I'm bit stuck for money atm

Cheers :-D

Got my new 16v rear bumper just needs some paint then i'll stick it on, i'm also considering ditching the front 8v bumper for a 16v one, but not 100% sure yet.

New alarm + more lowerage will hopefully happen next week :-D

looks wiked m8, put some more pics up wen u lower it more,

and i think 16v front bumper will make the car look better, try get it photoshoped or something to see what it looks like,

any more plans after this?

Very tasty car mate realy like the black roof anymore pictures of this? Also where did you get your front indicator's from?

Thanks.

Only have this one pic from the last Keyne on dubs meet, will get more in a nicer location once i've dropped it a bit more :)

The indicators were from ebay, was about 2 years ago now though so can't really remember the seller :(

This is looking sweet m8

Did u ever have the slipstreams on after u lowered it by any chance?

cheers

I did but only ever got 2 pics which aint the best.

Only problem i had with them was the massive tuck they had due to the high ET, could really of done with some spacers, couldn't even fit the rear caps on the slipstreams and front brake clearance was an issue.

might be just me being an idiot but they white centres?? look ill if so!

i think my centres might be going to something a lil different soon!
