Rite i bought the car in november so im going to backtrack abit.

Its a 1999 quicky that i picked up from london for 2500, bartered down from 2800 ;)

Not bad considering it only has 26,000 GENUINE miles on it which i thought was pretty rare for a car that age! My brother is a like minded pug lover which is most likely why i have been into 106's for a while so the modding started ASAP after purchase!

Unfortunately i havnt passed my driving test yet so progress is a little slow but iv done as much as i can until i pass!




Here are some of the main things that I have done so far:

debadged (goes without saying!)
dewipered
Slightly smoked rear lights
Respray front and rear bumpers
Bump strips gloss black
New black grill in rear bumper
Modified quicksilver door stickers
Smoked indicators
Carbon fibre external door pillars
Carbon fibre handles
Smoked headlight covers
HID KIT - def. the best mod so far
sony front and rear speakers
Clifford alarm








Here are a few pics of it in early days - changed the sticker and tinted rear lights
