Mintys Slammed, stickerbombed 1.6 LCR (2012 UPDATE, NEW WHEELS, STANCED AND STRIPPED)

[minty23]

Been on here a while now just reading and looking around for different ideas for my car. So thought id start a thread about mine. Being my first real car (yeah i know its a 1.6) i thought it would be a good idea to try do most of it myself and keep it relitivly cheap. Finally started saving money after an expensive holiday to canada wrecking my bike and myself so time to spend on the car.
I like the unusal and stuff thats just a bit different. So stickerbombing seemed like a good idea.

Get your self some half decent alloys, your be surprised how much the change the look of the car.

 

[GMH23]

Decent first car there mate! Agree that you need alloys, STVI's will look smart though! only got an SE myself, liking the look of the splitter on a standard bumper, was it hard to fit?

Yeah really easy just line up, use some short self tappers and then trim the bits that hang over into the wheel archs
