Well today was the day my old hybrid was taken by the insurance.
had a awsome last year and a half to 2 years with it went from a pretty much standard hybrid to a bit of a slag all caged up ect.

started off like this

very tidy well looked after car was very happy with the purchase and new i could have some fun with it after selling my williams as i couldnt mod or play with that as it was to clean.
it went through many stages main idea was to strip it cage ect and track it.
unfortunatly i never actually got any proper upto date pictures as towards the end i was buying stuff for it every week so kept saying ill take pics next week ect lol.

so one day after fitting my new seat i took it for a little drive to see how the seats where, nothing fast just general driving.
ended up hitting a van at around 50. luckily the guy has now addmitted fault so i can get some money back.

gutted was not the word id tidied everything it was very clean painted all the bay and struggled like **** do do the cage in situ properly.

and today was the day it was taken away looked a right mess took everything i could off it pretty much saved everything bar widetrack exhaust and engine, hopefully i can get most of that back when insurance are done with it.

so everyone wave goodbye to my baby :(

Totally gutted.

Black 16v's rule and there are hardly any about!

What a nice car.

What exhaust was on your black 16v?

Out of interest, whats the reason for re-locating the battery? I understand the reasons on turbo'd up ones...

Gutted for you, that looked awesome!!! I like the 1.2 badges on the sides. When I saw the standard pics wasn't sure how it could look better modified, but you did a great job.

Id like to know how thats been modified if it is a mongoose as I have one and it sticks out the rear like a goodun, or a wrong'en, as have all the ones I have seen.

Sounds awesome, im real happy with it, but just looks a bit kind of shit....

sorry mate missed that. no idea what the exhaust is ive not seen any like it before its different to any other ive seen.

relocated the battery to get some weight in the back as it was abit light and everylittle helps plus i was going to do a scuttle kit so needed the space, plus it looks better imo
