So in January I bought my mums car off her for a bargain price of £1900 with about 29k miles on it. I only have once pic of it standard
Now I've actually got somewhere with it thought I'd start one if these  I can't remember what order I did things in so will just tell you how it is now.
I painted the centre console black and silver but didn't like it so changed to black and red. MFD and courtesy light were changed to red as well. I even managed to get sunglasses to match the theme! 
I got the alloys from member on here which looked like this.
All were stripped sanded and painted. Then after about a month of saving had new tyres.
I recently painted the calipers red which I was really happy with. Got my valve caps as well.
Sportex exhaust bought from -Dave-.
Vinyl removed from B pillar
Sp handles fitted to front. Waiting for set for the back to come through post. Also handle surround, vents and grab handles painted gloss black.
Then gave it a clean today and took a few more pictures.
Nice bit of beading
And got my sticker on
I've also painted my gutter strips gloss black but don't have a picture of this.
Plans are to have bump strips and mirrors painted gloss black, I have a set of springs waiting to be fitted that will drop it 40mm and will be having rear adjusted to match. I am still undecided on a spoiler and hoping to get a better audio set up as the peugeot speakers just aren't up to it!
Hope you like it and will be updating when more progress has been achieved!

Don't seem that much of a bargain IMO, perhaps your adopted.

Well painting them orange would be just ghastly. Although I did go for a slightly different approach and had mine done in metallic black.
