Default Funny how our cars change... dont you think?

Just thinking its crazy how my car has changed over the last 18 months or so.

Flocking nice dash too!

mine has nearly went full circle PMSL

when i first got it and had it colour coded



then i went a bit hardcore and did this



then i went a bit more hardcore and did this



then i whent even more hardcore and started doing this





until it had a full paintjob and ended up looking like this



what a waste of time/cash and effort, you would think i would have learned my lesson, ohh no the last picture was taken last year after i gave the car a full paintjob back to white, happy that i was getting older and needed something a bit less "LOOK AT ME YOU *****"

and then this year i started doing this

do luck front fenders and a full new paint job





this picture was taken on tuesday night



car is all painted now except the rear bumper (spray gun broke )

Default Sad !

Mine's just got loads more brake dust, and a few car park dings in the last three years...

Mind you I found an "invisible" 75 bhp somewhere
