Guessing i didnt do the images correct, Second shot!

As i didnt have a job at this point no mod's happened for a few months

First thing i did was sprayed the interior vents and speaker covers

And then fitted...

Disaster!

my friend kindly decided to slam my boot and the rear window completely caved in.

Bear in mind this happened while at college so then needed to sort it out quickly so headed to scrappy and picked up a black boot for £30.

Near enough finished...

Then i took a disliking to the citroen sticker on the rear window so i stanley knifed it out

Sorted!

Next i removed my terrible Pioneer 6x9's and i replaced them with a set of alpine's

still not sure between cover on or off...

Cdtgibbsy · 20th July 2011, 20:29

Was feeling generous a few weeks ago so i went for a drive to find some ok photo spots

Looks pretty good so far

Next thing i did was de - wipering her

This was a lot more difficult than i thought as the bloody wiper arm wouldnt come off!

ended up hacksawing most of it off and then Wd40ing and levering it off with a flat head screw driver, (guess i just needed some muscle

)

Looking nice

They are a bit kirbed from the idiot before hand, i was thinking of sanding the kirbing down and putting some thick white rim tape along it
