Hi ive been a member for a couple of months now and ive decided to go premium , ive had the car for just over a year.

i was given the car for my 18th, it was completly standard pics with less than 40k on the clock






the first thing that did to it was put a set of alloys on it,




I then left it like this for a couple of months then i added a JVC headunit sorry no pics lol. The car was like this till about the beginning of september when i had all the windows tinted,


it was then left like this untill a women drove into teh back of me the insurance then paid for it which was like £1200, but what they didnt know was my dad is best mates with the guy who owns the bodyshop it was going to so i had all the bumpers and bumpstrips colour coded





and because my step dad owns a graphics business he decided to put some graphics on it





And today i gave it a proper good clean and wax after all the snow and ice we have had, i also decided to take some pics of it before it gets all dirty again on monday





Future plans:
Sport interior or leather retrim
debadged grill (kamei or irmischer)
lowered (40mm or 60mm??)
back box.

all comments and ideas are welcome.

thanks Luke

they will scrub if they are 16's pal, a mate of mine has them in 15's on his corsa c, nice looking set of wheels.

grapphics look cool, similar to the nurburgring vinyls on the astra vxr.

You could when you lower it do some arch work to try stop it scrubbing

Welcome to the Silver Side !!

They wont scrub on 16's if the offset is correct. I dont like the wheels very much but a nice clean base. Get a rear spoiler on it ( i have one for ssle in star silver u2u me )
