She wasn't supposed to be a project, but she's turned herself into one.
I've got a lot to do before I start modding. 
So far I've debadged her
Painted the front badge
Put her in a ditch
Got her stuck on concrete blocks
Hit a wheelie bin
And ripped the exhaust out from underneath her
And some nice person hit the mirror for me
She's the first car I've actually driven by myself, so most of that was very early in my driving experience. I've improved a lot.
And it shouldn't be too long before the drivers side wing is sorted at least. That's the main priority at the moment, then I can move on to other things.

Thank you. I do try to be different
I know I've put her through a lot, but she runs perfectly *touch wood* at the moment. I'm lucky it's mostly cosmetic damage.

Nice colour. Get them dings sorted. Alot of them bits should be avaiable down scrap yards. A decent one is in pease pottage (a23/m23) bit of a treak but good on price

Already got the drivers side wing on the way. Just waiting for it to be sprayed, then I can sort that light out and move on from there.
Just got to figure out what is more urgent. Or at least cheapest to do next.

I can't believe what your poor car has been through lol, but I'm chuffed for you that you haven't lost heart and just left it smashed to pieces. I hit someone up the a**e at a roundabout, I dented my bonnet, cracked and scuffed my front bumper and started to feel s***ty about driving round in it, but I'm getting it all fixed now and it's starting to look sweet. Good luck getting yours to the nice little car it should be, you'll be proud when you do.

Sort it, don't sell it. People who aren't into cars tend to think of them as disposable items, for example your hoover breaks - bin it and get another one.
Don't sell it just cause someone else wants you to, shouldnt cost much to fix anyway, those panels all bolt on and if you look in the right places you will get them dirt cheap!

I was thinking about sport bumpers, but they'll probably have to wait a bit.
Anyone know if that crack in my bumper is an MOT failure or not?

I don't know quite what to say. Apart from that must have been one large wheelie bin. I believe this car will need a lot of TLC in the future
