My mk2 Beezer (The Hurtling Aubergine) 56k...cure cancer *new rims=new pics

I'm currently very bored so thought I'd start a thread briefly showing my cars history...

Its a 1997 1.8 16v GTi and started life in the hands of my uncles boss,then went to my uncle,then my cousin's husband bought it, and almost 2 years ago I bought it from my cousin's husband for a pretty good price!

Couple of pics when I got it,was bog standard apart from stainless straight through exhaust and RAM air panel filter.





the front covered in stone chips!



then came some cupra wheels I sprayed anthracite and added purple rim.Along with pressed plates,smoked side repeaters and bee sting aerial



Looks like a tractor still!

Full front end respray to get rid of the stone chips,and colour coded door handles,splitters and skirts.



Then came the best change of all,the drop!supposed to be 60/40 but its def gone down more than that

Couple of arty shots taken at the grove, this was (in my eyes) when my car was at its mintest,no scratches,scuffs or stone chips






Then the wheels started looking tatty and stonechipped so thought I'd refurb them in audi silver...with red rim...what a mistake...


my skirt also decided to fly off after going through a puddle too quickly


So got it all fixed and took the shocking red rim off




So thats about where I am atm,gotta few more pics on my camera I need to upload.Sorry the pics ain't the most interesting and theres about a million of them (aplogies 56k'ers ) and I ain't shown everything I've done,but gives ya an idea anyways!Cheers for looking

good thread!

sti want to see this...i kinda liked the 16valves sticker ha!

i do love this colour very much!!!

the spraying makes such a difference!

cheers mate, lol I know,i was in 2 minds about it aswell before I took it off but decided to go for the "clean/fresh" look haha.

Ye colour-coding definitly made it in my eyes,the black plastic looks horrible on the purple.
