Default 2001 Bugeye in Green (errrr)

Ok so I know some people know I had a mica red classic and now I have not everyones favourite colour again in the form of green
The car is completely standard but as you will see spending has started ( I KNOW MY CAMERA HAS THE DATE WRONG, SHOULD OF SORTED THAT OUT REALLY)

so pics as she is now:






nicked this pic from a james allen :P


I think the paint will come up lovely after a polish etc (again borrowed from james)



Ok so the wheels were and are wrecked as this picture shows




Which was annoying as i would of kept them

So thanks to ruislip tyres I have these waiting to go on which should maintain the almost standard look




so there was just a gaping hole in the dash and i like my music but didnt want no £80 crap headunit special so double din it was



Next exhaust and filter, exhaust came today




so I need to get this lot on then its going to be a service, polish, remap then onto handling and maybe changing that spoiler.

ALL SUGGESTIONS WELCOME except "burn it"

i love green bugeye's the colour suits the shape of the car, just changing the wheels is going to make a big different to the look of the car

I actually like the green! I am slightly biased though! lol

I was a bit unsure about getting my classic in mica green, but after I gave it a heavy cleaning session and a polish it looks great. The colour looked really deep and lusty..

I'm sure the newage has a different take on the original mica green though, it looks a bit lighter..

Quite a rare colour, Total Impreza magazine have the green one as a demo car, but wrapped it matt black iifc.

My mates just broke a green one too, which minted no expense spared on it too.

My first classic was green, and I loved it, everyone else werent to keen, and as soon as I got my blue classic they all loved it. As you say, once polished and with gold wheels they do look good!

I had both at the same time but as I rarely use either due to work one had to go so the classic went as it was alot higher milage and i fancied a change. I have had 2 classics and thought I would try a new age.
so far not a bad car although its not as aggressive in power or looks so I completely see your opinion.
But onto pastures new and i shall see what i can get out of this.

I think green is a cool colour and would have bought one if the right car came up at the time I bought mine

With all the mods you have it will soon be looking and singing sweet too
