Kara Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 (edited) Well here she is....this is the autotrader pics, weather was poop when i got the car back in october so couldnt take any decent pics...Standard apart from the retrim Got her for much cheapness....Got to love the credit crunch!!! She was booked in for a full respray in white back in january....but got put off the idea...regret it now, probably going to think about a respray when winter comes around again though. here she is all snowfoamed!!! hahaand the wheels to go on...So far the mods are:CoiloversDewiperedDebadged/destickered lolCambridge lights purchased from Kenzie...Cheers dude! BMC...My fuel guage seems to be in the red a bit too often heheManifold....Still to be fitted, hopefully be on for the SVAG RR at the end of febBoot Popper ready to go!BBS RS 001's purchased from bluloop before i found the car. thought i should buy a car to go with my new wheels..you know how it is Wheels arent on yet...but will be for UD. Just need to get the boot smoothed and a few wee bits here and there. Everythings a bit late notice but i was adamant the car would not be going to UD if i hadn't had these wee things done.hope you all like....i'll be keeping the car quite subtle...for now Cheers, Kara Edited January 26, 2009 by Kara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
