Well hello there. Joined the site a while back now and been meaning to get pics up since joining.

Let us know what you all think.

And an arty farty effort using photobucket's editing stuff:

Future plans are:

Wheels refurbed (badly needing done)
Cams, remap, general power mods - still looking into this. Any ideas would be great.

Compliments appreciated, criticism welcomed.

Not a fan of the front end.Wheels would look good black i think,or even a dark grey.

WTF is with all those hose under the bonner??

Chris - was thinking anthracite spokes with the rim arden blue... EDIT: after your post, does look nice just like that. If that idea I said doesn't work it'll be that.

Corsa_Sport21 - Headlights should have been in the future plans bit, the angel rings don't even work . Possibly 'chrystal' jobbies I've seen on ebay. The thing with the hoses is that they're all wrapped in that shit braided hose stuff, it's started fraying. Doesn't look terrible though.

deano87 - thanks

Daveskater - didn't even realise the bump strips removed, nice work chris , does look nice.

munk3yrac3r - Sorry mate, sidelights don't work properly at all that's why they're being changed.

Adge - you've got me paranoid now! never noticed the bottom of the bumper looks so high... I'm liking the irmscher ones with the three holes in them - anyone know the proper name of them?

Looks tidy mate, what about black wheels to go with the bump strips? Who did the engine conversion for you?

Don't fancy black wheels tbh mate, bump strips are prob going to gtf after seeing chris' shop.

Engine conversion was done by a company in Essex - can't remember the name though

Looks tidy as mate! Don't think the silver grill goes with the front end though, Have you thought about taking the side strips off or Colour coding them?

Would tidy up the sides a bit, and get the colour black off. Think they look off because of your CC door handles!

I think I've got those skirts...

Bit of shame I can't say the same for under the bonnet

Looks pretty cool though, but get rid of those door strips...

VegasPhil - The lights and grille are two things I've wanted to do for ages. Can't decide on standard, depos, or chrystal ones though. The side strips are maybe going to be ditched this weekend. Wanted to keep them as I use a car park at work with tiny spaces, but looks beter without I think...

Ellis - I like the skirts mate, good choice on your behalf lol, really like the look of yours as well. Save up the pennies and treat yourself to some XE goodness

chris_uk - that's nice mate! don't know about the black trim, but the front end looks stunning

mattk - yup, just daft things that need sorted/improved. Hopefully I can get a bit of cash together soon and treat myself to a few goodies. Really like the punto by the way, electric orange on black FTW

(edited for spelling)
