had this car 2 years now, been in the family 3 years from new, 51,000 genuine miles, just started to do bits, will be a slow go-er as just got engaged and a house but here we go hopefully this will work.


Aero blades fitted, and de-badged today.
Next job, hopefully get "B" pillar vinals off, and begin some spraying. Watch this space.
P.S. people may ask why 5 doors? Well, just got engaged and a house, so have to be practical incase a certain creature were to come along Nah real reason is eventually will be one awesome sleeper, first subtle looks then my fave bit... Engine mods!

Correct these are now gloss with a few little imperfections and slight orange peel effect due to the nature of the shot blast but it'll look good on ze car... I hope
