My First Car Project - 1.4 LS
Posted: Fri Sep 03, 2010 1:09 am
I brought this car in september 2009 and it has been in my garage all that time now. I was thinking of selling and buying a modified one but thought I would learn to do one myself.
As you will see I have planned this out quite well and I am just doing the looks for now then I will start on the engine and that. I have a sub and amp plus 6x9s currently being fitted into the car but as I can only do this on weekends it doesnt leave me with much time to do all this. I am doing this all myself so if you have any advice please feel free.
The things I am changing will be EXTERIOR - new body kit (possibly xs, combat, cyclone, or freeze) , bonnet with air vents, alloys (not sure which ones yet have been looking at black ones), halo/angel eyes headlights (chrome or black not sure yet), black lexus rearlight, put in foglights, take out small dent, retouch the front bumper if not replaced, replace mesh in bumper, new side mirrors.
INTERIOR- respray plastic around air vents, door handles, middle plastics around stereo and steering cover in a blue high gloss. add metal flooring in front, change peddle pads to chrome Stealth Blue, Replace LED dash/speedo with blue leds, new steering wheel (either black leather/black and yellow leather/black and blue leather or black leather black suede. replace air vents with chrome vent surrounds, insert centre console, new black lather with blue stitch gear and handbrake gaiter cover. either new seats or seat covers but would have to be black with blue stitch and expensive good make ones. new gear knob.
new alloy wheels fitted not ones i want but £50 for set they were better then old ones but I am getting new ones.
new pictures will be uploaded of interior and after I have modified part of the car.
