Hi all

You may or may not know (or have worked out) that the car has been off of the road the last few months for a spruce up. I have only owned this car for about a year and I have taken this opatunaty to style a bit more to my liking and do the things that were a bit frustrating. It will go no faster (except with me being slightly more experienced) but will certainly look better. Whats your thoughts, impressions.

Before:

I'd say the styling is 'busy'. Looks pretty mean though

nice, i like the blue and black combo! Looks better with the painted side panels

Looks real good and purposeful. Summer is here, go for it!

Just a quicky, how do you get your pics to do that enlarge/hover thing?

I got the small pic hover thing by fluke!

When I went to get my pic info I cut and paste it and it had [.p.g.] (no dots) at the front and [./.p.g.] (no dots) at the rear. These replace the [i.m.g.] (no dots) that normally goes either side of your pic file.

It suddenly done the new thing!

Strange but true!

I like the vinyl sides. I think black would suit mine as well.

Did you do it yourself? What did you get and was it easy?
