UPDATE:

New Grill

Some of the interior


Masking taped up the side vents for spraying, cause for the life of me i cannot get it off

Square number plate, the picture doesnt really do it justice, i personally like it though


Next few things i want to do are:
Refurb alloys and spray them gloss black
Respray bumpers satin black
fit a punto wiper
fit smoked side repeaters
fit muffler tip (not going to get a backbox yet as i cant afford my insurance to go up)
tint rear windows, wondering how hard it is to do it yourself with the film?
and get smoked lights, isit possible to smoke ones you already have? or should i just buy some.

what you think?

I'm not sure on the number plate, maybe if it was right or left a bit. I think square plates look better on smoothed bumpers where there isn't a normal sized recess

I hope you have some good sunglasses for that interior

I agree about 5dr Ds; I like the 3 door though.
Saying that, I never used to like 5 door Bs until I saw dearing/Vegas and a few more on here.

Your car is dying for colour coded wing mirrors and bumpers, and a good polish. I'd bin the square number plate though, looks really out of place.

Yup, I can't afford anything major, but I like what I've managed without spending major money. I don't think I've spent much over £200 on mods, that's including £150 on the alloys (yes I know I paid too much). Repairs though..... Probably close to £300

yea thats true. and its more about keeping an eye out for those rare bargains...like my new angel lights that have an HID kit fitted. Only cost me £46 plus an additional £10 in petrol to collect them. i have since had to dish out an additional tenner for new bulbs but still, £65 for angel lights with new bulbs and an HID kit, absolute bargain!!!!!!

If i had more money i know that i would have ended up spending more money just to have the car at the same stage as it is now. Having no money can definitely work in your favour sometimes as you tend to put more time, effort and care into things lol
