Default My New 3dr

Well i finally got myself another white 3dr, didnt last long without one.

Soooooo happy i bought one, cant take any credit for the car as its down to the previous owners, the condition of the car is amazing. Its pretty nippy and very low mileage. (34k)

Here's some pictures of the car i took today after spending a few hours cleaning it.

Not going to do anything like what i did to my last 3dr, this is going to stay at stg 3. But as you can tell wheels will probably be going on it.

Engine bay will be changing looks wise, and also some fog grills, maybe a 500 bumper but might leave the 3dr one on there and just put a splitter on.

Anyway here's the pictures.

P.S Front number plate was off due to fitting a new fixing kit.

cheers everyone, pictures really dont do the car justice, nor my photography skills.

The car has had a very pampered life, and will continue to with me, but will come out for a good thrashing every now and then.

yeah i wasnt sure whether to do it , i.e cut the arches, then last night it struck me, its my car and i actually do intend to keep it for ever, so why not.

I was sure i was when i bought the car, but after actually driving it home you think your going to mess up a concourse car.

FUCK IT! THERE GOING ON!
