Where to begin? Well the start is probably the best place eh?

Right, bought the car back in March/April 2010 from down in Brighton (it was a mission of a drive but well worth it for the drive back).. I traded in my Corsa for it:

got it home and here are the first pictures of it!

I said to myself i wasn't going to change the car.. but that didn't last long and i started doing small things to it:

New side lights:

Up next was the K-tec panel filter (that later disintegrated!):

It was then time to take the rear seats out:

I don't like the name of the car.. and having it written on the back was a big no no for me.. so off 'twingo' came:

A guy from Canada got in contact about a twingo brake light cover and sent me across a number of free samples...:

Then i increased my love for detailing so spent a small fortune on products with great results:

It was about this time i went decal crazy and ordered the R2 decal set... i never got round to fitting it all and after a while got bored of it and took it off:

I got bored of the above decals so took them off.. but the car looks too bare and well.. i decided to make up some custom decals for the car and after a little wait they arrived so went on the car ( along with the tow eye you see in the pics)

Got back to my car after work and some woman had decided to crash into my car and damage it.. luckily she left contact details so she paid for the repairs but i was less than impressed:

I'm like 30 odd photos in and there's no women. Is my computer broken?


(Looking good btw)
 
Haha no your eyes are correct Al. My main love/passion is cars.
 
looks awesome rob. youve done the right things leaving the girls out, the worse thing is them laying all over it and scratching your paint
