Thought I might as well make a project thread for my car so people can see how I'm getting on
Bought it 1 year ago from an old man with 23k on the clock needed a little clean
Got to work on cleaning it up while I was learning to drive;
Then came some sxi wheels I got for a good price But I didn't like how high it sat so I took them off after this picture was taken
Then she got dropped 60mm and some mk4 astra side reps
I then put the sxi wheels back on
I passed my test shortly after and bought some speedlines and a pair of depos
I then got some bigger brakes given;
i then felt like a change so did this
bumper off
New opel badge and punto wiper
Then it was time for some real power

awesome progress so far mate, lovin it!!!
even when the sxi wheels were on with standard bumpers looked nice, fair play to ya.
Id be looking at getton shot of the rubstrips and gettin door handles colour coded and if u can source some jacking point covers that'd tidy it up a whole lot.
best of luck with it though matey
