My Daily Driver

Bought the little baby around christmas and she was in a sorrowful state, my friend had been using it as his work horse, so was covered in tar, overspray and alsorts of grime. Here is what she looked like.....

After 4 months of work, I have managed to hide and repair as much as possible, and it now looks like this........

I think it needs something on the rear tho, looks a little lacking? Might go for a type R lip maybe. But once its done I can get my lude up on axle stands and get get to work big stylee.

That looks pretty tidy now! about the only thing I dont like personally is the shopping list on the rear window, but hey, I'm :old:

the stickers on the window was to help break up the dark colours with some white, I put them on before the carbon wrap to distract the eye from the scratches and dents on the boot.
Might change things around soon, probably when i get a rear splitter.

I'm sure I see something almost identical to this around Chipping Sodbury on a regular basis!
