[michalk1983]

Hi everyone

First of all, sorry for my english


After checking out this forum, I decided to also add my page. I think the time has come for me to start my own thread.

Well, I'm from Poland, I have owned my BA since November 2011, it's my basic daily car. I am the second owner, the first one were the elderly lady in mid-60s from Germany.

At the beginning the car was totaly stock then I have started to modyfing it. I love the JDM style, so here you can see the effects It took some time and efforts for me to brought about the car to the present shape.

I'd like you to take a look at some pics of my ride, let me know what do you think. I would be greatefull for constructive critics
