well tis still my first car

and loving it, here are some of the things i\'ve done so far...
interior:

oh and the tapes in the background are no longer there!

....ok so i haven\'t finished on the handbrake handle... but i\'ll get to it someday

Exterior:

before

after

Engine bay...(not much but oh well!):

(only place suitable for it lol)

and finally for a laugh

Lol used boiling water to take letters and bumper strips off, but it started to rain so i quit... its finished now tho, but not got any pics of it

i\'ll try and see if its a good day tomorrow then post the finished things

oh btw leave my monkee on the window alone!! no one comments on it

have u got scratches where the old side strips were or is it a wax residue?

keep up the effort tho mate, and keep us updated

what plans you got for the future

lose the ripspeed sticker

Nah theres no scratches on the where the side strips used to be... just the residue... the weathers not been kind to me lately so not been able to wax it yet

...just wondering why don\'t many people like ripspeed?

lol i don\'t think they\'re that bad, i think... though i\'ve only got a gear knob and pedal from them lol

so i don\'t really know

Lol i want a gsi spoiler but too much money still

the steelies are going... so don\'t worry about that! paying for my alloys weekly lol, because its the best way for me

so in around 5... maybe slightly more weeks i\'ll have new alloys... i\'ll post pics of them when i get them

Very very very bad idea paying them up. What about if u have an accident and lose your alloys coz of it. You will have no alloys plus still be having to pay for them.
GSi spoiler aint that much! Pick 1 up for about £30-£40 and to spray it will only be about £40

i no see the pics!! woohoo!!

not lookin bad at all there mate, agree with Karen about the wheels, best off saving and buyin out right!

MonkeeBoy · Post by **MonkeeBoy** » Sat Apr 22, 2006 3:42 pm

i\'ve not got the alloys yet and its sold to me so no one else can buy it :)made sure no one else could buy them whiels i was paying weekly for em

plus i\'m not too good at saving up, and don\'t like using alot of money all at once

where abouts can i get the gsi spoiler for 30-40? :S lol

Karen · Post by **Karen** » Sat Apr 22, 2006 5:12 pm

ok, still think its a silly idea though but your choice

get them at the scrappies, or ebay etc

looks like its coming along nicely, ripspeed interior stuff isnt too bad but i wouldnt trust any other aspects of their after market stuff, you kinda get what u pay for with that stuff and id personally prefer the peace of mind knowing ive bought parts from a reputable dealer thats been established for a long time and built up a good reputation for quality which ripspeed havnt as of yet

just my opinion tho
