Well here she is....
my 96' 2.0 cabby, brought for the bargin price of £400 in great condition and even better only 41,000 genuine miles from new
Loads of plans from updating the whole front end, new rear lights, alloys, lowering and more so what this space
already started getting a few bits and had a mate do a really bad job of photoshopping sort of how she should look soon
Enjoy

thanks for the comments ppl
Bit of an update..........
Sorting through the local scrappy and found myself a set of these so thought i give them a try......
Tested them on the car and i know lexus lights are a bit chavy but the tinted once i really like the look of on the car, so think i might keep em lol
also go a bit bored and thought id try somthing a little different and as ive got loads of spair parts test them and worst case i can always change back lol
but i think with the plans i have for her will fit in nicley
comments good and bad welcome lol

agreed, ive already thought about it, its red atm, i was thinking about having it black to keep the red and black contrast as the soft top as i really like it....... then though of a complete sticker bomb hardtop but think it would be a bit too much, lol i cant decide, i may try it an see before i spray it black then if it looks crap take the sticker off and i can get it done neway lol

Sticker bombing, black tinted lights....
It's a slippery slope! Poor car.
I assume this is the 8v? They don't have a lot of poke for a 2.0 to be honest, hence why it would have been so cheap!
Disclaimer: The above is not to be taken to heart and is probably a joke, grow up you big girl.

Poor car?? lol its a work in progress. I like to be different with my cars. Id rather take a risk and stand out than follow and blend in.
As for 'poke' if I wanted it to be fast I wouldnt have brought the cabriolet model lol
