The Wheels Look Much Better In Person I Have To Admit, The Photos Dont Do Them Justice.. nd From A Distance They Really Set The Colour of The Car Off
I Paid To Have The Bonnet Wrapped Bud.. Only Cost £60 So Not All Bad =]
The Exhaust Was On The Car When I Bought It.. But TBH Im Not Fussed About Changing The Exhaust As It Sounds Mint nd I Ent Paying The Stupid Prices They Cost For The GTi180.. Even Second Hand Prices Theyre A Joke! lol
But Im Glad Some of You Approve.. Not To Everyones Taste I Know.. But If We All Liked The Same Then Life Would Be Boring!  Ha
Looking Forward To Seeing Some Of You Guys Around At Shows nd Stoof =]

Looks like a lovely little car that mate!
Very nice!
Only comment I've got is that it desperately needs lowering! Looks like that'd fail the shoe test

That looks insanely high, mine sits at 'standard' height and looks lower than yours. Personally i think you should ditch the exhaust dude. Wouldnt cost much to change just the exit. I had a stainless cat-back fabricated and fitted for £175 when my standard one rusted through.

Yeah She Does Seem To Sit A Tad High On The Front :/ I Don't Know Why 
Although To Be Fair In The Above Pic I Had Just Dropped Her Down Off Jacks So Hadn't Settled Down Properly
And Ill Look Into A New Back Box In The New Year.. I'm Waiting To Get A New Wing Sprayed Up At The Mo As My Front Driver Side Has A Few Little Dents In... Its All Time nd Money At The End of The Day... Will Keep Everyone Updated With The Progress Tho

The lights look awful, the fron splitter belongs on another car and the bonnet looks tacky. As does the front grille.

Ha.. Dont Think You Could Get Much More Negative Then That Even If Ya Tried?? 
However...
The Lights Are Down To Personal Preference I Would Say.. Some Like nd Some Dont.. Personally, I Like!
Yeah The Splitter Belongs To A Renault.. But So Do Half The Seat Leon Splitters On Most of The Pugs Ive Seen On Here
nd I Dont Expect Everyone To Love The Bonnet.. Its A Marmite Thing I Think... But I Dont See How A Badgeless Grill Is Tacky? :S
Thanks For The Opinion Tho.. The Joys of Modding Ay.. Not Everyone Has The Same Taste!
