hi im sean and iv had my car a year now so thought id start one of these and show you guys how far i think its come

so here it is after about two months



then i had a massive accident




would have been a write off but me and my dad fixed it!!


on this day i had wood!! it was for my 2.2cuft ported sub enclosure...notice bonnet...badboyed after accident but not sprayed yet..




even though everyone on here seemed to hate my wheels i liked them and they are exactly the same as irmscher evo stars!!! just a differnet colour!!




and here it is about 2months ago after a serious amount of colour coding and the bonnet sprayed properly




then colour coded most of the interior



the door pods took a week to sand down!!!



after that pic i have debadged the grill aswell

then two weeks ago a parcel (or four) arrived at my house



fitted and lowered 60mm....BACK NOT SETTLED



then my new bumper came which is an R&A designs splitter smoothed into a post 97 bumper. it needed alot of work and iv smoothed the swag line but its ready for paint now. i trial fitted it for aday and this is what it looked like!!





it sits very low but its going to look mint!!

and finally here is two days ago when i started to fit my new skirts




Hope you guys like it!!!!

plans are to lower the back 90mm which is happening very very soon(done), and finish off the new bodywork

the arch goes inside the skirts btw. you need to fill the inside of the skirt as they are hollow. some people use expanding faom just to build up the inside giving you more area to bond them on once painted.

haha, no mate it does look really nice, if my car looked like this i would be very happy, the seat covers are a nice contrast to the black... i need some alloys for mine but atm can only afford like 40-50 quid
