Bought my humble beast from a dealer back in 2007 ready for my 17th and learning! Instantly spent birthday and christmas cash on 5 spoke 17"s originally chased after some white Lenso's but they were outside my budget. Settled with the Fox R6's which settled in with the car really well!
Wheels fitted, then came mudflaps. Still not sure why but i went for blue ones to start with :S.....or why i didnt think to fit them when i changed the wheels..... they only got replaced when i reversed up a curb and up my mudflap at the same time...whoops.
Sound system was next. knew i couldnt go the engine mod route due to insurance.
Then came the vinyls. When i student finds summat that provides the same effect as something else (paint) ...at a lower price they take it.
Here's the earliest photos i could dig out!
This look progressed bit by bit, All vinyl was custom cut by a company my mate ran (Y)
next i fitted a strip along the bottom of the doors that ran the length of the car, went a beat "seat sport mad" and had it on the sunstrip, front and back bumpers, doors etc. ( i know its a 1.2 but whatever makes you smile ay )
decided my alloys didnt look deep enough, got vinyl printed that i cut to size and wrapped an inner lip of the rim
then debadged.....slowly...
Stayed with this look for a good year, vanned out the back three windows in gloss black vinyl.
