And that is were we left off.........

Well I was starting to get itchy feet about keeping/selling the corolla, so once I got my problem sorted of her cutting out I decided to keep her for another year or two and if iam going to keep her I might aswell keep her looking fresh.

So after much deliberating and sleepless night the end product was decided and wheels were put in motion.

Everything seemed to happen at once and yet it seemed to take a lifetime, I ordered the bumper and had it tucked away in the shed the next day, (came from germany)

Had to decide on who to get for the job and when, once that was sorted I went and got a set of HIDs, well 2 sets actually..

I brought the car into the bodyshop on Tuesday morning and meself and a mate got cracking on taking off the original bumper and fitting the HIDs

So with that done after some tweeking it was time for me to hand the keys over and leave him to it.

Ild say I had the poor lads heart broke going over twice a day and ringing every hour, aw well

So here was the progress from………..............another post to follow, please wait before posting

Looking good!

I liked the white wheels, but with the black bonnet and roof the black wheels look much better on the car.

*wanders off thinking about getting my wheels painted white*

Yes you did...

But the grey colour you refer to is a lot more popular than that horrid green colour they quickly binned off! ;)

thanks for the comments lads, well just like jonno said i wanted something different, not for people to say oh theres a 'nice' corolla, you now either gotta love it or hate it really, as i said i know some just wont like it and i do respect that, but she is turning some heads, got new exhaust today, no pics yet, few more wee bits left :D

oh and yes the front end was inspired by the trc rolla, but i decided to take it a step or two further :P

anyway keep the comments coming lads, good or bad, hopfully we have resolved the wind deflector issue :P

Quite a simple one really pal, the shape is nice, the lines are nice...............but..........(there had to be a but!) its too deep for my liking, had it only risen to the level that the side skirts finish at, for me, it would have been nice. Bit its just too big a step for my over thinking brain to accept. lol

And to explain my dislike of the wheels.... its the chrome lip, it burns my eyes! :P (thats just the way I am though! haha)

Hell yeah, nice rolla mate! B)

Love the black accents!

Only, in this colour the TTE front comes out a bit too big, rough.

But the total pic is nice ^_^
