I thought the idea of a car like this was to run in to the ground and not give a shit about, you've spent loads of time on it

Hella flush bumper though, sCeNe as FuCk

its just tape i had from detailing kit, when i bought machine polisher etc i think it came from cleanyourcar website.

no reason i used it, it was just closet to hand at the time, then i switched to the cheap white stuff as halfway through i realised i should save my "nice" tape for the other car

i've not spent a great deal, mostly my time, but gives me an excuse to be in the garage and smoke

it'll be a £300-400 car, hopefully it won't die in the 1st week of me driving it
