my crash back in july this year

[coldstuff12]

i crashed my car on the way home for work back in july, lucky for me i didn't do much damage.

 

i bent the bracket that holds the bottom of the radiator and smashed the front bumper but at least the radiator not broke.

 

so here is how my car looks at the mo.

this pic was the road i was traveling on.

i know the road doesn't look that bendy but it was just behind me which was when my car started to fish tail on me. i tryed to correct the slide but completely lost control and ended up sliding sideways down the road for about 100 yards when it slow down when sliding it started rolling forwards but the trouble was i was facing a grass bank so i hit the bank and thats what damaged my car.

 

here is the the grass bank

Not bad, could have been worse, at least you were ok thats the main thing.

[madxrcabby]

[coldstuff12]

yeah wasn't too bad really. the worst part was skidding down the road side ways.

 

this was how my car use to look

very nice mate...ive got a passion for saloons... lose the lexuses,and the m3 mirrors..maybe add a cabby spoiler,fogged bumper with cossie bib, and that would be sweet thats just my opinion tho...still very nice welcome to evo btw...

oh and the crash..as lee said couldve been worse..your still here to tell the tale thats the main thing.

[Craig855S]

Shame to see a nice one with a ding in it when you fixin it then

[coldstuff12]

well i haven't got round to fixing it yet as i spent more time getting my 2.0 mondy lump in it and running right. and now just have to get it through its mot then i'm laughing, as for the lexus they are still on the car but they have changed abit, i tryed tinting them all red to give it a peogeot 307 look but it was shite so i've don't a half tint and it does look much better.

 

here is the pics

for some reason ikinda like the full tit... but the half tints deffo look better....

im not too keen on your zorst tho...

what else you planning then?

[Richie_Si]

Love both style tints, obviously the half tints are better though. I would change the indicator bulb for a clear one, would look 100% better

[coldstuff12]

well the 2.0 conversion is done which is the main thing, but what left to be done is:

cat back exhaust as i don't like it either but it came with the car when i bought it,

front and rear bumper

change the wingmirrors for some colour coded electric mirrors

rear windscreen spoiler

my 17's refurbed (which i'm in the process of doing)

and the windows retinted

 

then all i'm doing inside is the gti interier.

 

tbh i'm not looking for extream styling, i like the sleeper look

cars looking good mate ! defo like the half tints, when i tinted myy fiesta lexus lights , i striped the light and painted the silver bit on the inside, it looked not bad i must say , but your cars looking good ( on the b4 pics )
