It's my hubby ( stonejedi) that got me into cars, as many years ago when I first passed my test for my first car my hubby bought me my Renault 5 gtt and I have never had a slow car since.

Thanks for your comment, its taking time but i am getting there.Just want to make sure i have all the bits i need before my car goes to have everyhting fitted. Without my hubby i dont know where i would be as there are a lot of people out there that give the wrong advice and make you buy the wrong things at high prices too. All the people i have got all my parts from have been a great help with top service and prices. Alyn@ASPERFORAMCE AND TIM@JTINNOVATION to name a few.JEN.

Just thought i would add some more pics of what i have done. I painted some of my interior which was white when i got the car.

This is what it looked like when i got the car.


And now with the plasti dip on.


I got bored yesterday so i took my whole interior out.










After that thought to myself what else could i do and then it hit me i will steal my hubbys interior . I dont think he will notice do you







I even took his mats to match the seats. JEN

Outstanding! Great work and love the 5, but who of us would get away with spraying parts in the hall?! Death sentence for me for sure
