Hey, I'm Sean and this is my project, I'm only 16 and this is my first car so tell me if I'm doing anything wrong or if you've got any advice to help me.

I'm trying to have a good, tidy car for my 17th birthday which is June 1st 2009.

Might be a bit of a slow project as I'm saving up money for insurance at the same time buying parts so bear with me

Here it is how I bought it:
(I know I need new rear lights lol looking for some irmscher ones at the minute!)




Then a small change but imo made a big improvement





I then debadged it(sorry no pics) Then I attempted taking off the bumper strips on the side of the car which was a bad idea seeing as a ripped a line off paint off across the drivers side but we sorted that out and stuck the bumper strip back on, so I'm going to spray them when it gets warmer (No pics again sorry)

Then yesterday I bought these 16" Corsa C SRi wheels which I'm going to spray also when it gets warmer I don't know what colour to spray them yet, so any suggestions would help.

good choice on colour, that should be a good contrast with the colour of the car
