Default 2008 08 paint strippered project

well few weeks back i bought a 2008 08 nurburgring blue s2k. paint strippered to hell and the roof slashed alot! so thought i'd start a thread to show my progress with it. have decided to go white with the car, matt black wheel refurb and thats all i've decided so far. Future plans include exhaust, coilovers and i really want to supercharge it

Good luck with your project, maybe worth buying a private plate incase the person that did the damage in the first place recognises the car and does it again!

Was the rest of the car ok? Mechanically? Service history etc?

Must have been some sort of revenge attack!

What did it go for, out of interest?

Someone certainly went to town on that! Possibly a now ex wife? Very good idea on the personalised plate, are you going for Nurburg again? If you do it will help hold the price of the car, future buyers won't automaticly assume it's been crashed.
