Car started off like this..
It's a 2003, 1.1L 206 Lx...
First thing i did was put a set of loys on it, and lower it.. also, got the windows tinted and put on a GTI Spoiler..
It then looked like this:
This was brilliant... until insurance found out my car was lowered, and wouldnt insure me because of my age..  *cry*
So got the original springs back in it unfortunately.. Then looked something like this:
So, got the modding bug soon after..
Bought a new Bumper:
for 80pd, aswell as a Sports Honeycomb grill supplied by Dabamash off here :)- painted the silver red and gave it a wee spray of Back to Black to make it shiiiiine 
also bought, a new aerial, which i painted Black
Bought a 25cm sunstrip and shocker decal in Red off BayE...
Bought Red Brake Caliper paint and painted the front calipers and back drums red, which made a huge difference..
After that, painted my whole front badge and surround red, which i hated, immediately sprayed it black and did the tongue and tail red- my immaturity shining through 
Also painted my Exhaust Tip Black, which looked horrible:
so carma made me loose it, so hada buy another one from ebay for £7 
Next Thing was fitting the bumper, (which had to be sprayed), getting the trim colour coded, bumper mouldings colour coded and alloys Gloss Black :D- got the whole job done for £250!!! from my mates dad's work..
When it came out, looked amazing:
Bought a Cupra R Splitter from local Seat dealer for £25 round abouts, also bought Some headlight tinting film from flyeyeskit.com- was apprehensive at first but after seeing it on the car was well pleased!
Gave it a wax polish, and after a bit of volcanic ash fell, looked like this:
Future Mods- not sure, maybe a nice big sound system for the back, tint the front windows a bit and then next year get a new insurance policy and lower it to the balls :D.. but comments are appreciated thanks guys

Cars looking good mate.
Was suprised how good the headlight tint film looked. Think the red / black theme is well done, but I'm not sure on the red drum brakes. Black would look better

Good to see the old grill is getting some use. Looks pretty awesome with the red surround.
Nice job

I didn't think that was the tongue, just the lower part of the lions jaw?
But looks good, especially the headlights and grille surround.
