Hello

Bought my car completely standard from a local dealer few months ago, only recently started to tidy it up/ put it as how I want it to be..

On very limited budget too

Well the car is still pretty standard now apart from a Mugen rep spoiler I put on last week, HID's and Blox gear knob

Car is getting full oil change tomorrow and gruppe m install [smilie=karls_thumb.gif]

Here's some pics I've got so far...

haha sponge I got it for 50p from wikison only just to clean the wheels very roughly lol

yeah still deciding on whether to refurb the wheels or not....but new tyres are definite

thanks mate

[bluntcap]

phew I use a sponge for mine as well.

If you refurb them would you go white? I love white on cosmic, but sometimes the wheel design can dictate colour. At least you can fit them and see if you like the white.

Nice looking car. They are great the M's, but such a shite fitment. Had a Tegiwa on mine and although it never moved or made a noise. It never sat as it should.
