The car as it looked January last year. I hadn't done anything more to the car since then

Various stereos and speakers have been in it and tidied up the engine bay with loads of new parts from citroen. But I won't bore you with that! Was going to get it lowered but I'll be returning it to standard to sell it soon so haven't bothered.

Been a nice little first car, I will miss it.

I'm now in the middle of some major works - changing the fuel tank for a plastic one, moving the battery to the boot, adding in a cd player, and hopefully getting the bodywork slowly sorted!
 
i'm still in the process of altering my car :p

just basic colour coding (back to original) and a set of alloys. considering lowering slightly.

heres how it looked at the start when i bought it :)

(on a hill there, so looks like its on stilts :()
 
Current car, nothing much changed except for audio and some minor touches, only plans are to add some nice 5 spokes, not really into the heavy at the moment (need monies :p)

Good thing the crash happened really, got more than double what I paid for it by the insurance (paid £560 and got £1100 after valuation)
