PROGRESS THREAD

It first started of with a Ford Fiesta 1.25 zetec, excellent engine, no problems, used daily and very fast, insurance cost me 2500, oh well, had to start the no claims some how. Lasted a year and a half until i crashed into a taxi who failed to indicate coming down a hill, no ABS and my cars makes its way and this is how it ended up >>ouch straight into an ambulance






Then came along this:




The Astra mk4 1.6 sxi:

• 17 tsw alloys
• tinted
• lowered on 35 mm
• Angel eyes
• Blue leds

and guess what, some lady comes behind me and Writes it off [IMG]file:///C:/Users/HABIBU~1/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image001.gif[/IMG]

Had a Pugeot 307 for a month till i got paid out for my car [IMG]file:///C:/Users/HABIBU~1/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image002.gif[/IMG]

and then came this:




(not my car, just for illustration purpose lol exact model though)

My driveway being dug out, took 4 trucks and a few skips.lol..i was skint them 2 months.lol


After purchasing this, i became adventurous:

Then came these mods:

• Replica Kit
  
• DRL built in with replica kit
  
• Led Sidelights
  
• Led interior lighting
  
• Armrest
  
• Window Deflectors
  
• Tinted windows
  
• led number plates
  
• 18 VXR ALLOYS

However i felt my 18's were quite heavy and handling was a bit crap, not sure why. But it did stand out.

Then came the Pentas after selling the VXR's
GUN METAL GREY




I know what your thinking, it needs lowering..lol..

Well be patient let me get there lol...



I then had the chance to drive the
Mercedes c200 AMG- HAD IT FOR 3 DAYS FOR MY UNCLES WEDDING:



Audi A4 S-line

I then had the loved bmw 320i m sport....for 4 days..boy it was nice..drank like crap




Anyways back to reality, had to stop dreaming of having or even keeping it.lol

Had a meet with LOCAL GUYS..






After much thought i decided that i wanted the genuine xp kit and sold the replica irmscher kit. off came the kit, packaged and collected


Then came the goodies

To be continued...
