Well i bought this motor for my sister, but she likes only modified cars, so i'm doing most of the project work on this. But still not finished, got more things to do to finish it. What you guys n gyals think so far?
Here are some details of the car when i bought it first:
-1.2 16v
-v reg 1999 now registered on private reg
- Done 40k on mileage.
It already came with 2 double twin stainless exhaust which sounds heavy, also rear lexus lights, 15" ripspeed wheels and k&n induction.
After i added this bonnet and changed the wheels
Added viper 460xv alarm with adding dual module and asian wolf blue scanner
Now after i bought following to add to my project
The below one is for Single wiper kit
These mirrors will be changed to black
Also i got this astra gte clocks made for my car with same car mileage setted up.

iv never been one to slate jap kits as i apprishiate (sp) the work that goes into them, but those rear lights are a crime, they really do look shit.
Get some smoked or even lexus lights on there,
just not those

Fairplay for doing all the work yourself, its more than i could do...but(in my eyes) its awfull, its just a mash up of random bits.

About the random bits, i could have had single type bodykit, but wanted to go for multi look to see how it will look like once finished.
Also the handles, well now i am a bit worried.

Depends how well they were done, like everyone 2 years ago saying my smoothing wouldn't last, if its done right it will be fine.
They do look good, much better without the locks, photo above looks out of place.
I always wanted to fit Audi 80 handles to mine but was too much hassle!
