Styler I've said before but I'll say it again dude..... wow...

That car is insane anyway but to see where it came from just makes it even better!

[sonny.j.h]

Bloody hell Styler, thats mental, how long did that take to transform?

[styler2002i]

thanks guys.. much appreciated...the whole process took a few months for parts to arrive etc then gettin it booked into have it all fitted sprayed..

its been around about 4 weeks i have had it completed.. and i absolutely love it.. so does everyone else... lol...

i have some bbk coming maybe end of summer.. a EISENMANN exhaust coming later in the yr... as well as some LED tails on Wednesday.

the next major mod is going to be the sounds.. complete JL audio equipment.. hopefully... its all about the benjamins.. .lol...

Your car is stunning mate, nothing else for it other then stunning.

White cars are stunning, i wonder how long till someone offers to buy it from you :D

[styler2002i]

the very same day... i took it out of the bodyshop actually.. about 15 mins later.. not long then.. went out crusing in it 2nite got 2 offers... lol...

Lol have you been tempted to let it go and start a new project?

Whats with the missing headlight jet on left side?

[styler2002i]

if someone offered me a stupid amount of money... then yeah i might be tempted... but to be honest.. this is my car... my vision... my pride.. to someone it is something they saw and brought... everytime i look at it... i think... wow... to someone else it would mean x amount of money... mayb i will keep it forever.. and give it 2 my son... lol.. whos only 18 months old by the way... lol....

ahh the washer jet... that was a mad one... lol... i think during the bad weather we been having someone must have used the wipers.. and as it wasnt put on properly i think it must have just shot out... not a biggy... bodyshop guy is goin to replace it... plus i just say its a air vent... haha...

Wow! What a coincidence. I actually posted a before and after topic in the 206 forum yesterday evening.

Might as well just copy paste it in here :P sorry for the pic whorage, theres a few.

The car is going to have to leave me eventually, I will miss it. I know alot of you hate pugs, but I will really miss it when it goes. First car blues I guess ;)

I tried dropping the car! Maybank didn't want to know. Too scared of french "engineering" lmao (I'm laughing at the disgrace that is french engineering - not at Maybank by the way)

May or may not bother giving it another go, considering the car is going bye byes soon...
