Been lurking on here for ages so thought it was time to post something lol. My car is a very uninteresting 1.0L club which I thought I'd try make look a bit better, here's a little timeline of what I've done.

the week after i got it i did my first mods:
-Debadge
-Sxi rear lights
-15" cav expressions

The earliest pic i have




Then came:

-Facelift lights
-Gm deflectors
-CC mirror caps/handles
-40mm lower




Next came:

-Steinmetz grille
-Sri lowers
-Irmy heck





Then i started work on the interior with as it where you spend most your time

-Full leather heated seats
-Pre facelift sri steering wheel
-Graphite centre console
-Irmy matts
-Sri pedals
-Genuine gm tigra armrest (Can get a fitted pic for anyone interested)






Thats pretty much it as im quite happy with how it looks now so the made thing will be keeping it clean and well maintained.
The only changes will be of the wheel variety.

Cool I've been looking at b's cos the parts etc are so damn cheap

Yh back on standards for the time being, if I lower it again it will be on uprated shocks or coilovers.

top work proof that simple well chosen changes can make a diffrence, I was never a fan of cav expressions but thats said my mind has been changed a bit as they look very smart on this

keep up the good work

Armrest fitted





Acquired some cav slabs that need a bit of refurb





Usually only do the faces on wheels but the barrels were so rough they had to be done lol
