Hi all,

Yes, I am bored at work and decided it was about time I had a Showroom thread :) I know my car isn't to alot of peoples taste, but thats coz its 98% of guys on here :P

The day I bought it:

My birthday prezzy '07, pink fluffy and fairmont door trims:

Interior pic:

Me spraying the pink strips with glitter:

Mine and Shauns car at e-series cruise, '08:

My car at AFD 2008:

Few things done so far: Lowered on superlows, clear indicators and repeaters, wipers and side strips sprayed pink/glitter, pink dash inserts, fairmont door trims with pink fluff trim, pink fluff parcel tray and sun visors, colour coded mirrors and door handles. Thats all I can think of for now.

haha shoosh Pete. Gave me sumps to do anywayz :P

No more plans as of yet. Probly a few things it needs rather then mods, wheel alignment, breaks and possibly exhaust :D

Obviously if I had the money I would be straight off to get a metalic pink, glitter re-spray and full white interior :)

I had to hope the pink went with the blue coz as a first car and with a very small budget I couldnt be choosey.

Nothing done performance wise, was mainly after making it look like a girly car. Will eventually get exhaust.

Haha ta, speakers didnt fit in as they were so they had to go pink along with everything else :P

I am saving for a house atm and am thinking I may do a project once I have a garage of my own.
El xr, kit, metalic pink respray and full white interior and turbo. Will keep dreaming for now :)

I have decided to revamp the barbie car and do a few things I have always planned on doing and never got around to. I am considering getting pink walls (as it is a cheaper option to rims which I cant afford atm) but I want to see what they would look like first. Here is my crappy attempt, can anyone please chuck up a better one?

This is such a cool car! Good on you for being different! I never see girls driving REAL cars like this! :P I think the pink theme works well, especially with the light blue paint. Pink walls would look good too, so long as the pint line is not too thick. Nice work, keep it up!

The centre bit has like split pins behind it, just open them up and it slides out. reverse the process to put it back on.
