Bought this car damaged, October 2009. Due to the fact that it was damaged, got a lower price on it. Millage wasn't high on it, so it was worth it.
This is when I started to work on her. Few pics below:
Filling bumps & scratches --> Priming:
i didnt have the "proper" place/garage to do it, so I just had to figure something out...  :shura:
Painting - it took me 5 months to get everything ready to finally paint mine P. 
Pfuuu....done
Next step - Had to sand it with a wet paper & polish it - results:
(Sold my DSLR, had to use my spare)
Next thing I've done is - I've lowered it after coming back from my holidays & I've tinted the windows(actually before polishing).
So... that's the story lads for now.
Plans are to put a GTI front bumper and a lip, to get the front of a car look lower. Of course - alloys, big time. I've 14" shoes at the moment, want to get 16" lenso BSX or at least something for start - 16" nimrods...will see
Want to paint moulding in body colour & probably get rid of the rear wiper blade.

Didn't spray the whole car though. There are some spots, where you can see the difference, but it's still - not perfection, since I didn't have proper place to do everything, otherwise I'd spray the whole car in an more exotic orange.
Thanks mate.
P.S Love that color!

Installed rear passenger interior lights, stole them from BMW E46 coupe. Looks good, will post some pics later.
Also working now on installation of sub woofer in the trunk, by making a double floor, will post pics, when's done.
Cheers

Thought about that, but I don't want to go crazy, want to keep it original, at the same time with a hint of euro.
