well bought my mango westcoast in september 08.....
this is the advert pic.....

it has a dint in the drivers door

and a deep scratch/dint on the bonn

anyway it needed new wingmirrors so i bought m3 ones and fitted them

then i decided i wanted smoked front indicators so i bought some and fitted

and also got rid of the tacky stickers off the boot

then i passed my test on the 20th october!!! 1st time :clapping:
and bought a beesting ariel to get rid of the mahoosive one that it had on it! :)

went to halfords with my brother and i saw some pioneer speakers in yellow.... so i just had to buy them.....

i think thats it upto now...... apart from ive colour coded the heater vents etc etc but no pics till 2moro :)

also waiting on a few other things to arive so will update when ive got/fitted them :)

comments welcome.....
