Started out in life like this Standard GLS spec with the later CD wheels



Then i fitted the Elite wheels From RobG then a week later the adjuster failed in the headlights so consequently MOT time it was a no no. So i thought sod it time for the HID upgrade and front fogs. I had to remove the front end so when my Dad (Courier Driver just easier  ;D :D) went to collect the HID headlights and fogs when he got back i could throw them in and get it back to Re-MOT it.



All Back together Tax'd and MOT  :)



And now the tweaking starts granted ive still got stupid things to do e.g. The Previous owner fitted uprated rear springs to fit a towbar and never fitted the towbar so consequently it rides like a dragster(I finally found this out) :-\

So Black headlights and De-Badged



(thanks to my Mrs shes dropped my phone and cracked the camera lens and the crack goes right through the middle it still takes pictures just cloudy)

and this is what she looks like now





Future things are

Bodywork in Gamlingay for the horrible scuff on the Passenger side
Aluminium/White Pearl Centre console/Gearstick surround/Door Trims by Me
Pro-Drive Spoiler from Twiglet
Cream Leather Conversion from PaulCDX

Theres something definitely very wrong with how the rear is sitting Sam. :-\
Car is nicely improved apart from that though.Leather interior makes so much difference. :y
Actually,very similar upgrades to the ones Ive done to my CD. Very satisfying when its all done. :y


P.S Really need to paint those headlight washers. ;)
