Here is the car:
(Sorry for the low-quality, camera phone.)
Ignore the L plates, i've passed now.
I've done some mods to it already;
K&N Air filter.
And a new back box which needs fitting, (I was in the middle of doing it when something cropped up, so i'm running with no backbox atm!!)
I do need to debadge it.
That's it, for now. The back box should be fitted on Sunday. (Yeah, i'm still gonna drive it like it is as I like the sound of non-silenced
)
Cheers,

they need very good plastic primer.. them loads of thick primer to fill the texture then some gloss black to make them shine, you want them like this ...?

My wing mirrors are starting to fade, should I colour code? I work in Halfrauds so getting the paint aint a problem. I'm presuming it's easier then the bumpers? Masking tape at the ready lmfao
