Este Loca's Progress Thread

Got my car about a year ago, 2001 furio with 60k on the clock (not too bad). Here is the only pic i have from when i first got it.

The first thing i wanted to do was tint the headlights. I was a bit sceptical about putting the lights in the oven but they came out pretty good in the end. well chuffed with them.

As you can see i done away with the vts badges!

Also did the grille while i was at it and decided to paint the chevrons black as im going with a yellow and black theme.


Don't ask about the number plate. i thought it looked good at the time.

Next thing on the list was to get rid of the fishing rod ariel, so it was replaced with a nice smaller one, 4 quid off ebay, thought it was a good bargain.

And i also got round to doing the rear badges. would rather not have them but i don't think they look too bad.

The car then stood like this for the next year while i was at uni and funds low. but once summer came around again i started modding again.


Update to follow shortly. let me know what you guys think. :y:

[Speller_18]

looks well nice m8, that pic with the yellow bits of the headlights, i faut you painted them yellow to put back like that lmfao

[Este_Loca]

lol nah mate that was just some filler primer i used up.

[Furio_Rob]

looks really good :y:

get some black 1.2's on and it'll look great :y:

not fond on the grill, i would paint the outside of it yellow to match the car

[deki_vts]

Very nice car m8:y:

[Este_Loca]

black 1.2's?? i like the grille as im going for the yellow on black theme not colour coded. if anyone wants to photoshop a yellow grille on tho i may be open to changing my mind.

[Sneakydevil89]

looks good mate, its a nice mix of yellow and smoked
