well im bored so i thought i would do a thread on my car from when i first got it as i never did one on the old site.
so here goes.
This is my baby the day i bought her.
![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc336/bailedagain/P020508_1148.jpg~original)
i had planned to keep it standard for a while but guess what, i found the info bible lol so that soon changed.
the first mods to come where to respray the arches off my old 206 and for some unknow reason i put some god awful lights on that didnt suit the car atall. but i only have one pic of the lights. also had my wheels resprayed and fitted a new front grille ![Smile Smile](images/smiles/icon_smile.gif)
in primer
![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc336/bailedagain/resize_image_379996138.jpg~original)
all finished
![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc336/bailedagain/resize_image_468802317.jpg~original)
front grille and a bonnet vent
![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc336/bailedagain/P180508_1618.jpg~original)
![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc336/bailedagain/P270209_1505.jpg~original)
crappy lights and arches
![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc336/bailedagain/P110808_142101.jpg~original)
then i decided that the ph2 rears were going back on.
also bought a GSR induction kit to replace the pipercross one that was in.
![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc336/bailedagain/P051208_103101.jpg~original)
then came a rarther expensive mod, but well worth it.
![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc336/bailedagain/P200209_1006.jpg~original)
this is the day i goot it back lowered (yes i know its filthy) and at some point i added the mud flaps.
![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc336/bailedagain/P060309_1751.jpg~original)
the following day i cleaned it and took proper photos.
![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc336/bailedagain/P3080094.jpg~original)
![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc336/bailedagain/P3080092.jpg~original)
![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc336/bailedagain/P3080090.jpg~original)
then i decided i wanted to tint my lights.
before id polished them
![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc336/bailedagain/P130309_1056.jpg~original)
after
![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc336/bailedagain/P130309_1111.jpg~original)
then decided i didnt want arches anymore and i debaged the rear just leaving the 180 badge. these pics were taken on the day of my first meet hence the reason for shiny shiny, lol
![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc336/bailedagain/SDC10070.jpg~original)
![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc336/bailedagain/SDC10069.jpg~original)
![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc336/bailedagain/SDC10066.jpg~original)
![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc336/bailedagain/SDC10068.jpg~original)
then came the new headlights to go with the black theme my car was taking.
![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc336/bailedagain/IMG039.jpg~original)
then another expensive but worth it mod was my exhaust. SS cat back system.
![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc336/bailedagain/SDC10243-1.jpg~original)
![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc336/bailedagain/SDC10242-1.jpg~original)
and getting to the most recent is my new alloys and also black alloy fuel cap.
![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc336/bailedagain/IMG_0105.jpg~original)
![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc336/bailedagain/IMG_0107.jpg~original)

Love it mate! Colour looks excellent when its clean, really deep! Only thing I don't agree with is the lights. But each to their own. Did you refurb the alloys yourself?
