	Hullo, My E90 is possibly going to take me all over Europe for a few weeks on the Student Brakeaway (student gumball rally). Being possibly the most boring on this entire website (I think the only positive comment it's ever got was 'My granddad said his was excellent'), it obviously needs some kind of, ahem, embellishment, before we set off. I did another one of my exceptionally poor photoshops (it's not even a real photoshop, I used paintshop pro...) in a JDM stylee Hm, doesn't really work all that well. Here's the original. NB my hubcaps are no longer on the vehicle (probably by the side of the A1) So, RR, what can I do to make the car look cool, interesting or failing that, just plain ridiculous?

	First one could work, but it would need slamming, which possibly anit great for a tourer :-)

	curse word me I've seen the light... love these Corollas but never seen one modified in a tasteful way.. If you get a picture that wasn't taken underwater (Or thats what the focus may suggest) I'll be happy to do a Photoshop Maybe one of the rear / side and front / side?

	Hehe. That's pretty bloody cool. Anyone got any other ideas? Doire I'm not even sure if we can go yet, the team was me, my girlfriend and another couple, but they split up. Contacted the brakeaway people, deadline is 1st of may so if we don't have anyone by then we aren't going.

	We bought a beige 1982 Audi 80 from a Scottish island, non-runner off ebay late one night for it, but it was too far gone, so it's scrapped. Going tomorrow morning to view a two litre scorpio as an alternative.

	If you don't find anybody to go with you, can I put my hand up and volunteer ;D Oh, and can i suggest a Toyota corolla wrx evo scheme - blue paint with the steelies painted gold (cool and most importantly for a student.... cheap ;D). Might also know where to get a wrx spoiler too

	^ lol. If we end up going, I might see how many cheap bodykits and spoilers I can tack on. I do really like the purple/equips look though.

	Looked more greyish when I passed your gaff the other week. Never mind. How about some crazy pinstriping? Or even simple pinstriping for that matter. Really like the police car one as posted above. How about........ boso Corolla?

	There's one of these for sale just down my road! Keep looking at from a RR point of view! (I find myself doing that a lot at the moment! ) But the purple one does it for me!

	Hehe. The police car is excellent. I may just do that. Matt, the car is exceptionally dirty. The only driving it ever does is sitting behind lorries rolling to Essex and back every couple of weeks. Do you live in Tang Hall it's a pretty quiet road to be driving down otherwise. I'm still liking the purple/equips too.

Just off Hull Road. Classed as Osbaldwick, but I use your street as a cut through every now and again if I'm near Morissons cause it misses the traffic.
