Howdy. I've just got my first car (chuffed although i havent passed my test yet, lol!) - a H reg maroon Nova Luxe 1.4 5-door (which i got for free - which was nice!). Now, having very little money available (still at school :()i was wondering what i could do relatively cheaply to make my car look better.

I've had to replace 2 of the doors, but they dont have the plastic stripe (coachline stripe?) down the side, nor the thinner silver stripe. I think it'll look better without these, but I'm worried about the difference in colour between the paintwork that's been exposed and the paintwork that's been under the big stripe. Also, will the thin silver stripe come off okay?

Cheers, and sorry for the blatent lack of knowledge ;)

my advice would be to keep ur car std untill u have some money to play with doing stuff yourself saves you lots of money as u might well already know.
keep an eye ou ton the parts for sale board as time to time some ok stuff pops up.

p.s please dont ever think about

1. any big bore back boxes eg bb4
2. sun strip
3. cheap and tacky 5 min wonders

take ur time
