Took a moment to think about what i had done to my car, which i somehow lost track of 
So i thought i'd make a thread to share with everyone and also help me keep track 
Anyway's here goes:
Got the car on August 16th 2009,
It's a 2000 V-Reg 1.4 LX 5-Door in EYC Silver 
Also my first car
As you can see it was bog standard, which it stayed, until the start of October 2009, where i got my first mod 
Alloy Wheels Was soooo chuffed with my first mod
Then came round my 18th Birthday (25th october  )
Where my Bro and Sis got me my own personal plate
My Bro already had one, hence he picked what it said Here's one with with our cars at the time, The Pug and Cupra R!
(Cupra has now been sold for a Suburu P1, as he misses the Jap ways of his old EVO VI  )
Then came xmas and my bro got me a MOMO Gearknob and donated some of his old I.C.E stuff to me, (From his boy racer days  )
MOMO
By this time i had also managed to collect myself a few parts, like a GTI spoiler, Phase 2 Headlights (Crystals) Phase 2 Bootstrip, Sp Pedals and a stubby aerial, which was now starting to collect dust in my room 
So i had them sprayed and fitted by the Middle January
It stayed like this for most of February, Except i had finally got round to sticking my info Sticker on my rear windscreen (Dedication )
Then came end of the month and i had finally managed to get myself these:
Finally got them sprayed and fitted around the second week of March
I even managed to solve my exhaust issue, in which i wanted a nicer looking tailpipe, but without wanting to buy another backbox as i didnt want the noise ( Wound do my nut in on motorway journeys )
And here's how it stands atm:
Thought i would also take a pic of my LED side lights and Rear Number Plate Lights:
So From this:
To This (atm)
Future Plans:
Sp Arches(Maybe)
Black SP Kit (Maybe)
Get I.C.E (Alpine Type R's ) Sorted
Cupra Splitter
Phase 2 Rear Lights or FK M3's
...Dunno What else so far
Don't think im going to lower It as im still in college, and they have MAHOOSIVE speed bumps getting into the car park....
More Updates to come
Comments Welcome + Hope you guys like
-Sam

Looks really good that mate! Nice clean example!
What backbox you got in the end? I might be after something subtle like that without getting an aftermarket one
Also, I'd be tempted to either de-badge the back or put on a phase 2 lion on the boot

Its not a new backbox, its an exhaust trim did some research and turns out some phase 2 pugs have exhaust trims already on hence the guys down at pug found one for me and welded it on Sorted!

SuperLux at the front and normal SMD LED (Same as Mikes ^) at the back
