BMC Panel Filter.....more to come soon
 
Started off with my 1.2 16v Clio. Was pretty pricey but was an awesome first car. Dare I say it... "nippy". This got several different exhausts, induction kit, front upper and lower sport grille, I.C.E, no rear interior, lots of yellow things, lowered on springs. The usual really...

I sold this and got myself a 172. As above really, same mods... Loved this car!

Then I decided to try something new and got the Twingo. You know the mods...

You can probably tell why I'm known as "Yellow Bits" to my mates now.

Glad it's for that reason and not something weird..... :lol:

2007 Audi A3
F**king love it. Got some decent speed about it. Lovely interior in and once i get Sat Nav Unit will be epic.
 
First Twingo, bought it in crap condition :



Completely redone the paint myself and changed interior and exterior to gen2 specs, just so it looks clean.



Then got a 1982 Camaro Iroc Z when I was in England. Lack of money and time made me sell it when I left. The injection system was GM's first, and it was an aboslute shit. The car started to run well when the next owner installed a carburator, which is what I was about to do if I hadn't moved to Germany.

But she had the looks :D



And now the RS-Ring

 
It was blue before also, just worn out blue ahahah.

I redid everything on this car, brakes, suspensions, engine, paint, new bumpers and interior from gen 2, as well as complete doors, and full paint. It took me only 2 weeks :)

And as always with me when I use something new, I scratched it the first time I took it for a spin, litterally did a spin ... So i came back, and restarted the work :D


And yeah the Camaro looked awesome. Perfect match of white buckets interior, chromes Cragar wheels, 4 disc brakes, white paintjob, and big V8 under the hood :)
Ahhh, I so want another one :(
 
Last car also a 451

Different anti roll bars (only car to ever do it, such a difference!), different, far wider rubber, lowered and after that pic a few other changes and it actually handled pretty well

First car only pic I have is this:

Lol that time, we had a skip being delivered at home so my car was moved off the drive onto the grass outside which had been left by the council to grow quite long. The grass was covering a metal street sign that had been chopped down so it stuck out half a foot, my dad didn't see it and parked my car just touching it. When I got in I didn't know it was there and went to move off and it didn't budge, so reversed and it was hooked over so i tore it off. Was rather amusing! The other time it got smashed was after a drunk man saw it in a car park and kicked it!
 
Hello :) thought i'd put mine up on here, only ever had french cars really (not on purpose, just always seem to like how they look)

first was the car i learnt in, a renault 5 1.4 campus, did no work to this apart from a new sound system.

then i traded up to a beast of a car! my 1999 renault clio 1.2 grande, this one had some work done, all cosmetic (fin, foglights, stereo, interior)

Next was my 2004 clio dynamique, this only lasted about a year for some reason.

Along side having the clio, I had a saxo 1.4 sx (BEAST)... mainly for lugging stuff around (renovating the house and kept breaking stuff on the other cars) cost me £200 from a mate with 11 months MOT. as you can see from the pic, it ended up in the scrappers cos it needed welding and a clutch.

After that i got the twingo, 2009 1.2 extreme.

Finally, recently picked up a 1999 clio 1.2 grande, it was cheap and will be a good fixer upper come the summer to sell on, for now the mrs is using it while her car is off the road.

Technically the Wind is my own first car but for 5 years I drove my parents car alot. (It's kinda cheating but hey I fueled and payed for those cars as well)

alex i think u might like renault. just an idea.

Yeah I am just a bit of a Renault nut! :lol:

Thing is I loved my first Clio but after it was broken into it lost it's appeal. So I went for an 8 months old Clio Grande and loved that but always wanted the 172. So ended up with a new one of those and then after that it had to be the 225.

The main reason I wanted a VW Lupo is because I wanted something with character and good handling. Thing is I'm glad I sold the Lupo when I did because apart from the Gordini being a better car, everyone wants a lowered Lupo now! haha
