Dont be under no illusions that when these is mud / puddles chance to go offraod I wont be in them as it was bought for fun so the muddier the better

My problem is I have this thing i cant have a car full of scratches and swirls and looking dirty

.

How I bought it,

and one side done, bumpers all painted etc, replacing any cracked bit lol

Should look quite tidy when im all finished

( except the front wings which ill have to sort lol

)

The Old girl is nearly all done to how i planned

Its just had a service as its last one must have been about 3 years ago

In the past week its gone from

to this

Ive managed to save money on things like the rear wheel cover ive polished and resprayed myself, bumper only £15 on paint, rear towing sockets held on with cable ties

so £1.49 for a twin bracket and again some paint

Even the Maverick and GLS badge I bought silver paint pen and went over it all and a white one for the wheels, tinted rear lights.

Today i had a go at tinting the rear windows myself what are barsteward of a job that is, one is pretty good, one is ok but needs redoing and the rear window is just shocking

but hey just need practise.

Sorry for all the pics lol
