car has potential .. a good vision and a few tasty mods can change that chav style that the car had ..

oh big time, not too mad about the 18" chrome wheel either, love em or hate em ?? that's the question,
engine bay is spotless and the inside is very clean too,
only started taking the graphic off, but it's leaving some of the glue on the paint work anyone know whats the best stuff the get that sh1t off ??

Methylated spirits (pharmacy) will do the job nicely (or alternatively petrol), make sure and use a blunt plastic implement to prise it off and polish the paintwork afterwards. You could soften it up with very hot water first.
Welcome yto the forum by the way

in a word , dave , that car was slagged a lot in here ..
