•*Larger rear mudflaps
•*Paint brake callipers
• 2nd batch of custom batches (which will be solid white with red lettering)

Possible Future Mods:
• Subwoofer
•*Armrest

Now I know a lot of people will be moaning about certain things I've done or will do, but each to their own folks! I don't want mine to look almost identical to anyone else's cars. The large sticker should hopefully be applied to my to my car some point in the next few days.
 
Not a fan of the random sticker placement and the huge scale of it. but each to there own :) and that fish eye lens on your camera really isn't making the car look all that great. Any normal pictures?
 
PuntoBooth:
I want these things because I like them...? Same reason most people do things to their cars. As I said, each to their own. You won't like things I do, and visa versa. I've seen plenty of cars on here with things I think are ghastly, but I don't slate or question them just because it's not my taste. And the black bonnet (which I actually said black/coloured), I could ask why the black roof? If it's what you wanted it's what you wanted.

BenYoung:
Yeah the sporadic nature of my sticker placement doesn't phase me, because I am going to be putting more on there. And as for the rectangular fisheye shots, I just got my camera out because I was around a friends and he wanted his Golf MK4 shot.

Also, I forgot to mention, I am tempted to add some eyebrows [black/coloured] once I add the bonnet. I'm not being a dick posting these answers, but it's tiresome typing out what I've already typed.

Btw, the bonnet will match the alloys I buy, I was looking at some white & blue ones, but I would prefer black or white.

As for anyone else asking why I'm going to do things, don't waste your and my time. I already said it's each to their own, I will put some more up eventually.

Yeah I'm hoping to get some nice black, or very dark grey alloys. I don't want to go down the Abarth look as I know a few people on here are doing it, I'd rather just have my car look slightly different.

And yeah I know, people hate stickers, but me and my mates dig them. I've never been one for the super sleek, smart outer aesthetics. Love ratlook cars, but I know I'd get shizzle for doing it, and tbh I don't want to ruin my car with rust.
 
Trust me, the FF stickers will be on their way soon enough. But yeah, I know most people on here will just say "looks sh*t with them stickers" but I couldn't care less. My car, not theirs ;P

I've just seen a lot of modded GP's and I have noticed people are starting to do the EXACT same thing to theirs time after time - and it makes me a little sad.

Plus, I'm not a hotshot at modding and I don't have an abundance of cash to splash out on stuff.

Alright alright chill. As i said:

Not having a dig, just asking, but why;

You're gonna get plenty of worse comments so prepare yourself.
Just wait for Magic Johnson to arrive :worship:
 
Sorry dude, I didn't mean it as a dickish reply. I just meant it as in we all have different tastes. And as for the mudflaps (I didn't notice it at first) I'm getting them because I go to uni and my car is covered in mud after a day there, so I'm just trying to stop it going all up my doors a little.

And yeah, I know I'll just get crap from people for my choices - which to be honest is a little disappointing. I thought the forum would be people who don't rag on others but I guess not. I mooched around last night and found a bit of bitching between users regarding their cars.
 
you just need to chill, most people end up with cars that look the same because the mods they do make the car look good lol, a forum is all about people saying what they like and what they dont like, i had to learn that the hard way when i joined as well just like many others, if you get buthurt by people saying they dont like things then just stick to commenting on other threads and dont make a members motor thread.

you already knew alot of people wouldnt like the stickers so when someone says somthing you shouldnt need to write a big essay, lifes too short , just smoke a fat head and relax
 
Yeah the Vans sticker is nice, the wind took it when I was laying it though, so it tore the S and folded some others. Need to get the ol' hair dryer to lift it and smooth it back out.

Yeah I know man, I wasn't getting ancy about it, I was just saying it's personal preference, so asking why I was going to do it is a little redundant. End of the day people can like/hate it - but I know mine won't look like the rest of the GP's around Stoke. Already had 4 people ask where I got my black badges - then I said I did them they were a little gutted.

Anyway, I apologise to people if they thought I was being a turd about it, was just saying - and I was a little tired so it probably seemed I was being a ****** ;P
 
Funnily enough we went alloy hunting yesterday and I found some lovely (and rather ood) MG ones that would fit on it. A bit wider than my steelies but it'd look sweet as you like. My friend's missus is also ditching her Polo, and I LOVE her alloys, so I might try and get them on the cheap, and obvs I'll be swapping the centre caps.

As for the stickers, I do indeed need to bomb it but I am hopefully going to be getting some more over the next month or so.

Alloys - the issue I have is getting money for those & the coils, as I've seen stock height with alloys and they look a bit daft :p (as yeah, you may think it looks daft as is haha) but I will post some more photo's end of Sept when I've done a bit more work to her and hopefully she'll have some dancing shoes on her by then ;)
 
It's good that you are making the effort to make your car different, I like it. More stickers will definately look better than the few you have atm. At least you've got people talking! Always good to have controversy (y) I'm going more down the route most people do myself, but my one personal addition is a duo of 'decepticon' stickers arriving this week. Very sad I know but hopefully it will make people smile, 2 black ones, subtly placed somewhere.
 
Haha thanks, I know it's a bit of a Marmite car at the moment, but it's a bugger as it's half way through. and mate, I bet those stickers will look sick.

I want Autobot emblems for my badges, only seen ONE other car IRL with it and was tempted to leave my number on a note under his wiper saying where are they from (but I ebayed for a bit and found them).

I also had some good news, as the owner of my local skate shop he'll sort me a bunch of freebies out (stickers) and hopefully get me some big ass vinyls which i'll be MORE careful to apply ;)

but yes, I shall eventually be putting up more and more pictures once she's near completion
 
Lol, i'm not the only transformers geek around then! If you get those badges you defo need to put pics up of them, I didnt even know you could get actual badges! Whether or not it's marmite, you'll grab more attention that way, rather than have a car that looks samey that everyone says "meh" to. Keep it up :slayer:
 
Oh hell no dude! I'm a MASSIVE TF nerd, and I can do you one better.
