Car hours after i bought it

First mod was to De Badged it,

Also i moved GTC badge to front

Next, Was to paint calipers after a snowy period...

After i decided to make a dual exit exhaust, bit of a pain but i think its turned out ok..

Having a few ideas, i bought a can of Plasti dip and played around

With Some birthday money i decided to get rear windows tinted and Front grill partially wrapped gloss black.

After loosing the vauxhall badge(Somewhere on M1) i decided to buy Opel Badges

By chance i came across a VX-Line splitter for Â£20, couldn't turn that down

Next i had some GTC stickers made up to underneath my Side Indicator

Last mod was to have Rear Insert/Diffuser Vinyl Wrapped gloss Black.

Whilst having it wrapped i asked him to put some gtc sticker on and wrap over them.

My Next Mod Which arrived this afternoon.....

Possible Future Mod's.......

**J1ODYA** · 7:th-Jun-2014, 15:21:08

Nice touches, I like subtle mods

**n1ibor** · 8:th-Jun-2014, 12:55:25

**Tottybye** · 8:th-Jun-2014, 15:11:27

**Tottybye** · 8:th-Jun-2014, 20:50:02

No, never been pulled about plates. Can remember style I bought. I know they were Â£17.99 off ebay

***Rusty2009*** · 9:th-Jun-2014, 11:11:30

Tottybye any chance you could post some pics up of the exhaust showing how you ran it etc?

**Tottybye** · 10:th-Jun-2014, 21:04:18

I connected it after rear axle, then just ran it across to other side. Back box on mine sits before the axle, I'm not sure but I thing 5dr sits after axle just behind bumper. Will try and get a pic in morning for you

***Rusty2009*** · 10:th-Jun-2014, 21:16:28

**Tottybye** · 6:th-Jul-2014, 14:29:40

Â£80 pound, had to have some damaged repair on side of car, so let him do it while he had car.

Also I painted calipers gold and a set of four new tyres!!

You need to wrap your centre caps, they will look a lot better:

**Tottybye** · 6:th-Jul-2014, 15:04:19

I tried it when I swapped badges, wasn't too sure whether I like them or not!

**tucpal** · 10:th-Sep-2014, 20:53:42

**Tottybye** · 11:th-Sep-2014, 00:33:51

Rusty, little king is just in the middle of photoshopping it for me. Â£65 to get it sprayed not bad in my eyes.

**tucpal** · 11:th-Sep-2014, 09:02:09

That's a good price lol

**JohnL** · 11:th-Sep-2014, 11:13:06

Must say the car is a real credit to you. Loving the subtle mods you've done to it

**Tottybye** · 11:th-Sep-2014, 12:16:17

**tucpal** · 11:th-Sep-2014, 12:36:18
