In another thread I was asked to show more pictures of my previous car.

So here's a bit of a build thread.

When I bought the car, it was a standard black Toyota Yaris / Vitz.

After a couple of months of ownership, I had lowered it 40mm, I had fitted a full Blitz exhaust and induction system, changed the tail lights, and fitted Carbon Fibre Splitters and a Carbon Fibre vented Bonnet, and some Konig 17" Wheels. So it looked like a little Japanese Racer :stickoutt

And being the silly little 17yr old that I was, I pushed the boundarys of my tyre adhesion and ending up wrapping it round a tree and a coastal defence wall.

So, I spent alot of money and hours repairing it.

And ended up spraying it a really lairy Pearlescent Green and Black paintjob.

After I got bored of that, I decided I'd modify it with a full Yashio Factory Wide Body kit, and slam it on some 9" wide Borbets.

So then that was finished, and here was the final result.

And then I sold it and got my E46 :).

Hope you enjoyed the read!

'cept for the wheels (I don't like either of the ones you had on it) and the stance (wheelgap, ugh!) that thing looks like a cool, little car!

Guernsey car? If so, pricey plate!

I have relatives in Jersey - they just sold J3. They kept J9, though.

Nah not pricey! Cost me 120 quid at Auction.

My friend in Jersey has J911 on his 911, looks awesome.

I've transfered this plate onto my BMW now, which is also in this section of the Forum somewhere :)

Should have kept the yaris, although I love things that are different. Hence why I do not have a BMW or Volkswagen haha.

the paint job suits the car a lot.
