I found this old pic of my car when I first got it and was amazed how different it looked.

Anyone else got before and after pics?

Before


After




Big thanks to Mark (RB5-286) for the graphics. I still can't get used to the crowds of people around it whenever I leave it parked anywhere.

Looking good DannyBoy - don't listen to Image Doctor (he's a wind-up merchant who knows fu*k all!!)
What made you go for twin exhausts?

I'm thinking about putting the stars logo on the rear doors on my classic. Its silver and I'm toying with the idea of putting some dark grey graphics on it. Anyone seen this done before?????

Cheers for the comments guys.

And don't worry I've been around long enough to know Image Doctor should be ignored at all costs

BlackScoobyWRX - The twin exhausts were the first mod I done ages ago. A mate of mine makes stainless systems for Hot Rods and Customs etc. So I let him loose on it. This was done before all the boyracers started doing it. They simply copied

Incidently he now sells them by the hundreds to the boyracers

i have never ever sold one of my many cars for less then i originaly payed for it, have you?

i doubt its knocked 1k of its worth, maybe to sum people, but not to others, its not an problem
its a jdm import which had a slight dent on the back quarter on the ship over
bodyshops are unable to match the feather white paint aceptably, and your telling me i de-valued it??

fpmsl @ your expense
you know nothing lmfao
why do i have people queing to buy it allready?
ive only had the car a few months lmfao

rotflmfao
how many people are waiting to buy your car and how many are waiting to buy mine?, i will have no problems whatsoever shifting this (NOT that ist for sale or will be in the future)

the car is mint, and i could pretty much garentee its a lot cleaner then 99% of cars on this board, that counts for a lot in the second hand market, paint is paint, its only paint lol, if i was that worried about it not selling i wouldnt have done it, i guess that means i dont see it as a major issue, fpmsl

a few weeks back i was underneath it polishing up the rear dif lol

ha ha ha
off the top of my head i know of 2 people wanting to buy it right this very minuite, but there not, cos im keeping it lol, i could sell it 2morow for what i payed for it NO PROBS @ ALL

2 many old stuffy gits winging about allsorts, ke ke ke
enjoy your day, maybe you should be called attitude doctor
