HEY the wheel is on the correct side  ::) thx stmo!

And yes im trying to trade for vaux parts. so if anyone is interested in a bumper switch those fog lights will fit!

If i cant find another boot Im going to either take the boot reflector off/bondo/paint or just paint the reflector. Shaving off the cadilac of course.

 Im just trying to make her stand out.

Thx for the comments guys. KEEP EM Coming.

Zealious smart car curious though what changes did you make to your headlights, would it be black inserts.

Also would I be right in thinking your Cat has the Cupholer which is missing on the uk Model.

Yes i painted the inserts.

And yes got a super fancy cup holder.

I'd leave the rad grill chrome as it is ,I think if you paint it black you'd loose the feature and make the car look too plain at the front

Could be wrong, but I thought emigrate is to leave your country & immigrate is when you arrive?  :D

Better bring some spare parts with you.

You can get a catera retarded cheap, the parts are a diferent story though.
