#1: Its been a long time coming! Author: Jake, Location: ReadingPosted: Wed Jun 15, 2011 4:02 pm ---- Think its about time that i done one of these...
Bought my car back in 2009 completely standard, dont have any pics of it thought as my parents bought me some new wheels the same day, here they are...
I actually thought my car look wicked back then! looks like a tank! Shocking ha.
Then came the lenso's, coilovers and lowered the rear...
Then i decided i didnt like silver anymore and the work began...
Then i had my baby back!..
The first time i saw the car in purple i hated it, Not the colour i wanted at all, but now i really like it! It has grown on me loads.
Still quite alot to do in the pipeline but i wont reveal that on here

As im not to keen on the side strips, need to be redone IMO (possibley with ariel and bonnet, but im being a snob like that )

I done the prep work myself, got it wrapped by some matey in slough. Yeah i know what you mean about it all, im a perfectionist and them parts annoy me! but all the body work looked fine/felt smooth untill it was wrapped and it showed every imperfection
Ken, new lights are on the to do list and im not sure how it is coilies are all the way down and helpers out and god knows what on the back.

Apart from that mate, good start

#11: Re: Its been a long time coming! Author: Callum206, Location: West SussexPosted: Wed Jun 15, 2011 4:17 pm ---- How much was it to get it wrapped if you dont mind me asking ?
#12: Re: Its been a long time coming! Author: Jake, Location: ReadingPosted: Wed Jun 15, 2011 4:18 pm ---- Haha spill the beans! I will be coming to you soon for some ideas on an ice install though addaz
Was £1000 Callum, i could have got it sprayed for that by a freind who owns a body shop but i thought id give the wrapping a go. Maybe regretting it now though?

Didn't you tell them what colour you wanted? & as you hated the colour why did you pay them instead of getting them to re-do it?
