it might not seem it yet but alot has been changed..
it looks the same because of having the same wheels but just stick around..

First thing i did was change the grill, i picked him up my bradford, 200miles away from home lol..that night i fitted my grill..the morning after i took all the stupid dealer stickers off and the punto badge aswell..used heat and a card to peel the letters off then a toffee wheel for the adhesive!..shiniest piece on my car now lol..

and de-tangoed my headlights

the next day i de-wipered the tailgate, this took the p*ss ..the wiper was seized on!!..took 30mins of continuous wriggling to pop it off..next drilled out the rivets and took the motor out and plugged it up!...love the look. no big plastic wiper. smoother

next i decided to do something about the front headlights so got in contact with lamin-x and they sent out a sample for me.. i decided to not waste it and tinted my rear badge with it.

Subcribe maybe? or stay intouch..much more to come at this point :)
any comments welcome! ..
Fitted my new alloys this afternoon..in the rain :p
to my dissapointment i went to pick them up and saw they werent Rota's :( there KEI FIN7's
still got them though and actually like them!. they look JDM and once i get another stud conversion for these, i think will look so good
ive decided now to go for the track look in the summer, i nice set of Rotas or advans and oversized semi-slicks with rim protection
going to keep the RH's aswell still :p

Not a big fan really, too black and too plain, a bit like TD Pro Race. Suppose they're alright for winter shoes though!

Btw, who's in the car? I was looking at the pic for a while before I even noticed :rolleyes:
Its the girfriend with jazz hands :/ lol..
And yeah ur right, not bad for winter :p .. I though they weren't plain though! I'll take a pic of them close up :) and yeah they are very black :( phone camera makes them look worse aswell lol
 
Love what you've done to the car, hopefully i can get mine to look half as decent mate!!
What do you mean by the Euro look? (sorry I'm new and not too clever when it comes to cars :p)
 
they look well worth the drive man, how was it? even if there not rota's :)

but I think they'll look perfect on my car ;)

Thankyou for the nice comment. though it was just me who though they looked good :rolleyes:
i actually really like them, if u see them in person i think ull like them more, looks so aggressive if u get me ( sounds abit gay ) but does :p

and i got there and said to him basically u advertised them wrong so ill offer you £200 and he took it.. BARGAIN.. every tyre looks new :D

thankyou man! :)
and euro style is basically and very simply.. small wide wheels, slammed car, nice simply design ie smoothing things out, and being different :) and stretch!!
 
haha cheers buh :) imagine them with red studs aswell :) .. ive orded a fatlace sticker for the centre caps, scraping the black off and cutting the sticker into four, sticking on and covering in clear ;) might look so sh*t might look alright lol
