This is how the car looked when I got it in november:

1.jpg?t=1338924876

2.jpg?t=1338924590

4.jpg?t=1338924360

Started by de-badging the rear end and buying red tinted lights

5.jpg?t=1338924144

Then smoothed the front bumper, lowered the number plate, tinted the front lights and bought a de-badged grill

6.jpg?t=1338923934

Colour coded the front bumper and sprayed the roof gloss black

7.jpg?t=1338923872

Bought a new set of wheels with tyres

10.jpg?t=1338923666

11.jpg?t=1338923634

Bought a set of 60mm lowering springs and a lupo rear bumper which was then colour coded

25.jpg?t=1338923510

26.jpg?t=1338923439

27.jpg?t=1338923349

28.jpg

Decided to stickerbomb the centre caps of the wheels and the petrol cap

16.jpg?t=1338840384

24.jpg?t=1338923218

This 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! :)

how much did it cost to get the bumpers painted, or did you do it yourself?

My dad did it for me but he said it would cost around £80-£100 depending on repairs per bumper :)

Bought a 25mm gromet for the rear window and fitted it today, looks much better!

Also took the engine cover out and cleaned it up

photo2.jpg?t=1339244957

Then removed the badges and applied a layer of primer

photo3.jpg?t=1339244934

Then applied a couple of layers of arosa blue paint and finally a layer of lacquer

photo7.jpg?t=1339244760

Also stickerbombed the seat badge and painted the 1.0 MPI badge and applied a layer of lacquer to both :)
