joshjamie Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 (edited) This is how the car looked when I got it in november:Started by de-badging the rear end and buying red tinted lightsThen smoothed the front bumper, lowered the number plate, tinted the front lights and bought a de-badged grillColour coded the front bumper and sprayed the roof gloss blackBought a new set of wheels with tyresBought a set of 60mm lowering springs and a lupo rear bumper which was then colour codedDecided to stickerbomb the centre caps of the wheels and the petrol capThis is how it currently looks but still got a few things left to do!Any suggestions on what else I could do would be great, and i'll keep you updated on anything I do in the future!
