    Default NOV4801 PROJECT (1.6 gte)

    well i brought this car about 7 months ago and when i got it she looked like thisthe plan was to finish the out side as bonnet needed redoing and change front bumper then start on the inside, but after a week i blew the ecu, fuel relay, air flow meter, head gasket, dont know how but they all went at once so i paid ?700 to fix all that and i thought right ican start the modding again.after a month i blew3 holes in the bottom end on the m1 at 10pm at night,so with that engine well and truely knackered i decidedto go out and buy another gsi engine, only problem was as the front bumper was so low it would not go on the tow truckso we had to take the front bumper off but it didnt come of as i hoped and resulted in the bumper goin in the bin. so at the minute the car looks liker thisalso decided to change the bonnet as other one needed to much work.i am getting me new bumper this sunday and new bonnet week after ready for its spray job, also going for some sri blue and grey interior, with few other lil mods.more pics to follow, what u look think
    sorry for the post being how it is but i cant seem to change it

    That front bumper is, ummm... Quite like the rear actually. Looks like you're changing it for the better though

    its your car but i think the bumper you have on it at the momment looks good, it would be even better if you smoothed it in and put gsi side skirts on her
    just my opinion though.
