Well ive owned the car now for 3months as a runaround daily to my astra gte. And i have to say its boring and such a crap engine vauxhall produced.

Anyway to keep me sane ive decided to hunt for bargains to spruce it up a bit as im finding it hard keeping it standard.. plus it will be great to see if it can be made to look cool on a very tight budget!

Anyway the only picture i have of it! more to come when the changes flow:



The Budget is £500! can this car be transformed into something cooler??
