I have been an info member for a long time now however my car has never really been shown on here properly although there are a few pictures kicking about.
This was and still is my first car; I am proud to say I am one of the minority of my peers that has not written their first car off. Although I won't deny I had a few bumps when I first passed.
Anyway! I have made steady progress with my car but the exterior is near enough finished, the interior is still steady away so pictures to come later.
Here is my list of exterior mods, not including a few which have been removed or changed.
Mud-flaps
Spoiler
SP Grill (Now sprayed black)
Aero wipers
SMD Sidelights & numberplate lights
80W Foglight bulbs
Black 306 Harrier alloys
Cupra R splitter
Custom metallic black bump strips & alloys
Tinted sun strip
Smoked LED rears
Lowered 35mm front 40mm back
I will let the pictures do most of the taking; they are in a rough order of the earliest ones to now.

Looking good! You've done a really good job with the wheels. Where did you get that sunstrip from? Is it the type that goes on the inside of the windscreen?

That is a very nice end result! Gloss black bumpers are deadly!

Thank you, They have loads of flake in them as do the bump strips. Just as I wanted. They pictures are mostly off my phone so you can't see the detail.
The sunstrip is 90% tint and its on the exterior of the car. It looks much better than those vinyl ones, not tacky and it doesn't block your view.
What do you mean bashyy?
