Hi All,
Well I thought of making a project thread to my car since it's holidays,and I got some free time,so my car is 1.4L-8V-2006,I bought it in Jan-2008,it's an imported one (used),and here is some pics of it the day i got it.
Then I tinred the rear windshield in dark blue tint,to give it a nicer look from the back,and also I added the GTi spoiler on the boot :),to look more sporty.
a few weeks later,i thought that it's the new wheels time now,so i started to look for set of 15",and I found this set,made in Italy,brand name is (Simi),here is pics of it:
And here some pics of it after fixing it to the car :D,with tires 195/55/15 Kumho.
Then,I changed her OEM tape headunit with CD one:
and after having the CD headunit,the quality of the sound were not good,so i checked the speakers,they were fine,and I checked the tweeters,but they were not working,so i thought of replacing it with and after market ones,and that what I did,see here:
and here is the full process of doing that in the "how to" I made in this link:
How to-Fitting After Market Tweeters-
then the sound became a very loud and nice one,and I enjoy the ride more now 
Here is some recent pics of it:
There is more mods to come,I will keep you posted,and I'm not gonna say what the mods are,and keep it a surprise...LOL,feel free to comment and share your ideas to make my Bride and Joy nicer

Very tidy motor Timon, a lot of potential there. Never seen them alloys before, they are very nice.
Glad to see you got a WIP thread up, very subtle mods so far and im sure you will have plenty more
Ill keep my eye on this as after chatting to you it seems like your going to do something very smart

On the 20/3/2011,I gave my car to my Aunt,so that I take her car for garage to have it serviced,and on that day,she called me at 7:30 AM,while she was heading to her work,and told me she had a car acciedent with another driver while she was stopped at a junction,so I went to see her,and check she was ok,and Thank God she was,and the other driver was too,the other driver were driving a Vauxhall Vectra 1992,and she was driving fast,which made her car swing from the back,so while she was passin by my car,she hitted it with her car rear left door ,and that hitted my car right wing,and bumper and headlight(our cars is LHD for who don't know that),and here is some pics of it after the accident.
So the search for the replacement parts started,because it's not easy to get parts in here,so after days of searching,I found this used front bumper,and wing that match my car color,but both in a bad shape and need painting,so I sent them to the bodyshop to get them done
This is all the pics I uploaded for today,the rest of fixing process will be tomorrow :),and few more pics for the final result with mods

Thank you for your comment my friend :),and you have no idea how much i was gutted that day,and i was not happy till I saw it fixed :D,glad that nothing happen to my Aunt :),and the other woman as well.
The damage look not bad,but inside it was a bit of damage to the wing fixing holder,but the bodyshop fixed it without paint,so that don't effect the selling in the future when it got checked.
I will post more pics today for the fixing process,the one been made by the bodyshop,and the one made by Me and my brother :),so keep checking :D,but you will be surprised how much this costed me

I uploaded more pics today,for the fixing process at the bodyshop,I gave them the wing and bumper to have it spraied before I go to fit them,I don't like to keep my car at the bodyshop,and also I like to monitor the job while it's been done :D,so here is some pics while it been fixed:
Took the right headlight out
You can see the damage of the wing fixing point in here
The wing is off now,and as you can see the hidden damage under it,the Fuel evaboration tank is broken,so had to replace it
after few hours of working on it,they got it done,and I took it back home with the right headlight fixed with one bolt because the other 2 bases are broken :(,so this how it looked when I got it home
This all for now,I will add more pics later today,with the rest of fixing done by Me and my Brother :)..so keep checking the pics
