Wow havnt undated this in a long long time any way done couple updates

Well after 3 hours i finally finished stickering up my dash and pillers! and fuck me didnt realise how annoyingly curvy the dash is :twisted:










Also finally got round to getting my bumper resprayed so now no more stripes ::tu:: also removed couple of stickers on the bootlid while I was fitting it gives it nicer cleaner look i find.

BEFORE:



AFTER:





But being the dickhead that I am I managed to shut the garage door on the boot lid so now have a lovely scratch to get touched up :x
