There was a minor rattle on the exhaust, which was Sorted 23/01/2008

Next was to fit them with 195/45/15 tyres all round




Changed the centre cap for newer ones 29/01/2008

Then Came My De-badged Grill 08/02/2008




Then I just gave the car a general clean inside and removed the sill strips 08/02/2008

Met some nice new faces and got some pics of my car







Then Came the best change – De-Stripped & Badged 08/03/2008











Due to my boot being rotten beyond repair
