    When you find your car online...

    So today I was doing a bit of Googling, looking at exhausts and other things for the 5 in 2.5" etc, when I came across a post about my car back from 2008!

    I am so shocked to see my car from the previous owners and the state that it was in, I feel disgusted that it ever looked like that haha..

    Even more shockingly, it had a sunroof! It has never had a sunroof since I owned it and the previous owner did say they put a new roof skin on the car but I didn't believe much of what they were saying at the time.

    Here is the link if you want to look, you can see how much the car has actually changed from 2008 to now if you look at my other posts. Crazy!

    Your car is effectively back from the grave!

    Someone put some time, effort and money into that to de-bodge it.

    That advert was only a year before i bought it.

    In that time, Mike, I think he was called must have put a new roof on, taken the front splitter off, replaced the bonnet and boot lid. Everything else looks as I bought it i think.

    There was a receipt for an engine rebuild and new head from cgb after all that too.

    But in the 7 years Ive had it I have replaced soooo many parts. Especially those yellow dials

    I still can't get over seeing my car on that site and the state it was in haha, I dont like it!

    But at least now its a totally different car!

    I'd definitely be painting the wiper arms red again. Looks sick
