At this stage in things theres a lot of ideas but not alot of doing

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...

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

Just a quick one

have found the best air fresheners known to man!

Seriously, search on amazon 'california scents' lasts for so long and they smell the tits!

I have read alot recently about bonnet raisers and i thought i would give it a go.

considering im fairly crap at stuff like this i found it incredibly easy so if your wanting to give it a go do it! you physically cannot go wrong.

Didnt need to order anything as went out into the shed and found some really wide washers and long nuts and it fitted straight on

What i now want to do is paint the sides on the bonnet black and then have the white saxperience sticker running up each side, will look mint

Opinions?
