Well this is my first car a J Reg 1992 1.2 single point injection Nova Trip In White with 87 000 miles on it when i bought the car it looked a bit sorry for its self and am gradually getting it to how i want it
The Day I Got It http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb188/Lee-170/Standard1.jpg
http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb188/Lee-170/Standard.jpg
i do not like colour coded bumpers so first thing i did was fit a standard bumper with a renault laguna splitter
http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb188/Lee-170/NewBumper.jpg
I then fitted my Custom Chrome Racing Back Box
http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb188/Lee-170/NewExhaust.jpg
next was clear lights
http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb188/Lee-170/DSC00057.jpg
