welcome to project Atlantic blue! lol. well let me start buy telling you i bought this car in November for £600 and having ridden and owned motocross bikes in the past i had already been bitten by the modifying bug! it cam with a full years MOT and a couple of months tax. When i got it home it looked like this:



I then got some smarter looking hub caps and got some bits colour coded and the it looked like this:



Then I grabbed my self some 16” alloys and a powerflow backbox and it looked like this:





I then swapped my alloys for some 17” alloys with new tyres and it looked like this:



Then the mod was post 97 bumpers and 60mm springs but only fitted rears at the moment and also tinted my rear lights and she looked like this:





I the stripped out the interior and added Calibra seats and some sparco harness:



My next mods include subtle side skirts, wide arch’s, a semi smooth boot, cavalier gsi alloys, lowered 80mm and matt black bumpers, skirts, and arch’s. I also want a full respray in the same colour! let me know if I should do anything else? oh an i forgot to mention I want it finished buy Donny south!

Not bad. Needs abit of touch up work on the bumpers etc but you've said you want a full respray so fair do's.

Wide arch's? how wide?

Think the 16s looked better imo.

but keep it up! look forward to seeing the end result

The 17's will look better with wider arch's just remember to space the wheels out into it! otherwise you'll end up like mine and looking like you float on mid air
