charity donation

thank you so much for reading angels! this season is such a wonderful time of year because of the ideas and ethos surrounding it; one of giving. this winter should be about our loved ones and those in need. whether you do something as simple as donating old clothes to charity or making christmas cards for the homeless, i would encourage everyone (myself included) to make it their mission to give back in at least one way. remember - angels are kind and generous inside and out! as we plan our gifts or think about shopping and the fun things to come let’s all take a moment to reflect on how we can give back.

love, m.

p.s it’s never too early for christmas!

Ms Mar, my favourite list-maker, would love to know your thoughts about a liverpool Secret Santa exchange, since all we got for a Christmas video on best present was kinda boring lol.

who would get who, and what would they gift each other? 🤭

Okay, after messaging @curiousthyme to brainstorm we quickly discovered that this was accidentally sent on anon. oopsies 🤭 So thank you Ives for this brilliant ask!

In true teacher fashion, I used a name picker wheel to link players and then went from there. Some of them were just too good, honestly this wheel is a Liverpool girly

Putting them all under a read more because it's a long list

Lexi → Virgil - a personalised maté set, similarly to the one he gifted Ibou (whom I have seem to forgotten to include in this 😭 my poor petit)

Virgil → Alisson - a gift card for a spa day (+ a "we're sorry for fucking up so much" card signed by all our defenders)

Alisson → Wataru - a gift card for a local Japanese restaurant, for Endo to enjoy with his partner on a double date with Ali and his wife

Wataru → Pep - a new set of whiteboard markers and magnets shaped like football kit for all his tactical planning sessions

Pep → Cody - (like I said, this wheel was just being so kind to us) Pep would give him a Christmas ornament shaped like a Bossche bol (shout out to the 2 Dutchies who follow me and know what this is) to remind him of home

Cody → Lucho - seeing as Luis' partner is about to give birth to their second child, a mobile to hang over the cot. Maybe even Liverpool themed with tiny felt jerseys 🥰

Lucho → Joe - Joey would get a picture frame key chain so he can take his family with him wherever he goes

Joe → Ryan - A Scouse dictionary and an FC24 game but with Ryan's face photoshopped onto every player on the cover 🤭

Ryan → Joël - New shower curtains with Virg's face all over them to push the bromance agenda, and a friends mug

Joël → Darwin - A DVD set for friends to help him with his English and a little pin that says "chaos demon"

Darwin → Mo - A t-shirt with Darwin's cutie lil face as he says "thank you for support" + that photo in a frame. You know the one, where Darwin became Mo's bodyguard/sleep paralysis demon

Mo → Kostas - Some weights and a DVD on how to get abs + a t-shirt with a photo of Mo's abs printed on it in the meantime

Kostas → Thiago - (I told you the wheel is a Liverpool girly) Maui and Fuerte in cuddly toy form for their the new baby + a donation to Thiago's charity

Thiago → Domi - a beard care set, like one of those high end ones, and the game werewolves (iykyk)

Domi → Trent - (y'all, we were YELLING) a chain necklace "because that's what the girls like" + Hungarian schnapps/pálinka + a temporary tattoo of the CL trophy because his mum said no to the real one 🤭

Trent → Andy - (SCREAM) a BFF necklace, a Dua Lipa album, and his fave biscuits

Andy → Klopp - Andy would give Klopp the Scotsman treatment: full kilt + a set of bagpipes (bonus: Kloppo promising to wear the full get up when they win the league)

Klopp → Diogo - An annotated copy of Cruyff's book about football because Jots wants to go into coaching after his playing career

Diogo → Lexi - a personalised gaming chair with a maté holder, and a personalised game controller

This was so much fun, thanks babe!!

Grace's Desk

Grace's desk is in the bull pen of the BAU and once belonged to Doctor Reid. Her extension line is number 67, which also used to be Doctor Reid's, occasionally she will get calls intended for him. She doesn't keep many personal item's on the surface like photo frames or figurines. Grace doesn't feel like she has worked there long enough to personalise her space too much, but as she becomes more comfortable she might eventually bring some things in. She also doesn't have any photos she would display like her colleagues do, but she hopes to change that.

On top of her desk is always these three things; the files she is working on, one of her various note books and a blank A4 piece of Paper she can scribble things down quickly on. Some of her colleagues also use this to write her messages.

The desk has three draws. The top draw is filled with stationary that doesn't fit in the pen pot on top and a stash of spearmint gum. The second draw has spare paper and folders to make case files. She also put a coin purse right at the back of the draw intending to use it for the vending machine, but she has forgotten about this. The third Draw is a large draw intended to hold files. But Grace keeps a folded blanket in there that she discreetly pulls out when no one is watching and covers her legs with it under the desk because the aircon is too cold and she doesn't want to bother anyone asking if she can turn it up. This draw is also where she keeps a small lock box with her standard issue gun and it's ammunition. It is under the blanket most the time. Grace also keeps a teddy bear and pretend doctors kit in there.

This is for whenever children end up at the BAU while their parents are being interviewed. She brought it in because she thought the toys in the family room were abysmal, but secretly she also uses the pretend doctors kit and bear as a tool to assess a child's wellbeing. She will observe how children will play pretend with the items given to them. She can tell a lot about what behaviour the child has witnessed from the adults around them from how they treat the teddy bear as a 'patient.'

-Details from The Protege

The next chapter will be a little while away but I thought I would post individual pieces from the new masterlist cover and new header with some tid bits to keep you guys going. I'm also thinking of doing a small illustration and a quote for the start of each case and end of each case like the show, what do you guys think of that?

Thematically this would make it a bit more like the show with the quotes, but also show the kind of things Grace goes home and adds to her art journal which will become an important part of the story later.

How Instagram Selfie Frames Are Changing the Way We Share Moments

In today’s digital age, Instagram has become an essential part of how we share our lives with others. With its visual-centric platform, it’s no surprise that images and selfies play a significant role in how we connect with friends, family, and followers. Among the latest trends in Instagram photo culture are Instagram selfie frames, which are adding a fun and personalised twist to how we capture and share our moments.

Rise of Instagram Selfie Frames

The Instagram selfie frame has become a popular photo prop, embracing the selfie culture that dominates social media. This trend is not just for casual users but has extended to events, allowing people to capture memorable moments. Here’s a look at how Instagram selfie frames have risen in popularity:

Mimicking Instagram’s Layout: Real-life frames resemble Instagram’s post design, creating an interactive and fun way to share photos.

Perfect for Events: Weddings, birthdays, and corporate functions have incorporated selfie frames to add a creative touch.

Creating Memorable Experiences: It’s more than just taking photos—it’s about making an interactive moment that stands out.

Selfie frames have revolutionised how we capture and share memories, making them a must-have at events.

Why Instagram Selfie Frames Are So Popular

Instagram selfie frames stand out because of their customisability. These frames can be tailored to fit any event or occasion, whether it’s a milestone birthday, a wedding, or a corporate branding event. Businesses can design frames that match their logo, making the experience both fun and promotional.

In addition to the branding potential, the photo experience itself becomes enhanced. Guests or attendees are more likely to interact with the frame and take photos when there’s a playful, interactive element. The frames become more than just props—they are integral to the overall photo experience, leading to better engagement on social media. People enjoy sharing these creative moments with their followers, which drives both personal connections and brand visibility.

Instagram Selfie Frames in Events and Business Marketing

Instagram selfie frames are rapidly becoming a staple at events, both personal and professional. For personal events like weddings and parties, they provide an extra touch of fun and excitement. Guests enjoy posing with the frame, which adds a unique photo opportunity that stands out from the usual selfies. 

For businesses, Instagram selfie frames offer an excellent marketing opportunity. Whether it’s a product launch, trade show, or corporate event, a well-designed selfie frame can boost brand recognition and increase social media engagement. Businesses can encourage customers to take photos with branded selfie frames and share them on Instagram, helping to extend their reach and increase visibility.

Role of Foamex Boards in Instagram Selfie Frames

Instagram selfie frames are a popular trend for both personal events and business marketing. One of the most effective materials used for creating these frames is Foamex board. Here’s why Foamex is the ideal choice:

Lightweight and Durable: Foamex boards are both lightweight and sturdy, making them easy to transport and handle during events.

Versatility in Design: They allow for various sizes, shapes, and intricate graphic designs, making customisation simple.

Professional Finish: Unlike traditional props, Foamex boards offer a sleek, polished look that elevates the overall quality.

Long-lasting: These boards can withstand repeated use without showing signs of wear, ensuring they last through multiple events.

Ideal for Marketing: Businesses can use Foamex selfie frames as part of their promotional campaigns or event marketing strategies.

Foamex boards combine functionality with aesthetics, making them a top choice for creating high-quality Instagram selfie frames.

Conclusion

Instagram selfie frames are transforming how we capture and share moments, offering a unique, interactive experience for both personal events and business marketing. These frames allow users to engage with social media in a creative, customisable way, making every photo memorable. Whether you're planning a wedding, birthday, or promoting your business, Instagram selfie frames provide an excellent way to make a lasting impression.

From Chocolates to Keepsakes: A Complete Christening Gift Guide for 2024

Introduction

Christenings are among the most cherished events for families, symbolising love, blessings, and the welcoming of a child into their faith and community. Selecting the perfect christening gift can be a meaningful way to share in the family’s joy, offering something that will be treasured for years to come. As we wrap up this christening gift series, this guide will explore a diverse range of ideas—from sweet treats like chocolates to heirloom-quality keepsakes—that make for unforgettable gifts in 2024.

The Importance of Thoughtful Christening Gifts

Christening gift ideas are not just a present; it’s a reflection of the giver’s love, support, and good wishes for the child’s future. Gifts chosen for christenings are often symbolic, representing values like purity, protection, and love. Selecting a gift that aligns with these themes not only makes it meaningful but also turns it into a cherished keepsake that can remind the family of this special day. Let’s explore various gift ideas that encompass both traditional and contemporary choices.

Personalised Christening Chocolates

Personalised chocolates are a perfect combination of sentiment and delight. From engraved names and dates to chocolates moulded in shapes like angels or stars, customised chocolates add a personal touch that makes them unique to the occasion. Chocolates can be presented in festive packaging, like gift boxes adorned with ribbons or decorative wrappers that match the christening’s theme. Personalised chocolates can also be shared among guests, making them ideal as take-home treats that everyone will enjoy.

Timeless Keepsakes for Cherished Memories

Keepsakes are traditional christening gifts that often become family heirlooms. Here are some classic options that bring a timeless elegance to the occasion:

Silver Items: Silver gifts like spoons, cups, or rattles are symbolic of blessings and purity. Many silver items can be engraved with the child’s name and christening date, adding a touch of personalisation. They’re often displayed in the child’s room as a reminder of their christening day and may even be passed down through generations.

Photo Albums and Frames: A personalised photo album or frame is a lovely way for families to collect and display photos from the christening. Choose frames with engravings, or go for an album with a special dedication on the cover. The family can use these to preserve photos of the day and keep them as a memory of the child’s first major milestone.

Personalised Jewellery: A piece of jewellery, such as a bracelet, necklace, or locket, can serve as a meaningful keepsake for the child to cherish in the future. Look for pieces that can be customised with initials, birthstones, or religious symbols like crosses or doves. For a holiday christening, consider festive jewellery styles that blend with the season’s theme.

Practical Christening Gifts with Sentiment

Practical gifts that also hold sentimental value are always appreciated by parents. These items are not only useful but also serve as heartfelt tokens of love and care.

Personalised Blankets: A soft, cosy blanket embroidered with the child’s name and christening date is both practical and personal. Many blankets come in elegant designs, with options for customisation that can match the theme of the christening or the child’s nursery. This gift will keep the child warm during the winter season and serves as a lovely memento of their christening.

Memory Boxes: Memory boxes are thoughtful gifts where parents can store keepsakes from the child’s early years, including mementos from their christening day. Choose a memory box that allows for customisation with the child’s name or a special message, making it a unique and lasting gift. Some memory boxes are crafted to look like treasure chests, adding a whimsical element that makes it even more endearing.

Growth Chart: A growth chart is a practical yet sentimental gift that parents can use to document the child’s growth over the years. Personalise the chart with the child’s name, and select a design that complements the nursery or has a holiday theme if the christening falls during the festive season. Watching their growth progress on this chart will be a cherished reminder of the family’s love and support.

Religious and Symbolic Gifts

Christenings are spiritual ceremonies, making religious gifts a meaningful choice. Here are some ideas that honour the faith and symbolism of the occasion:

Children’s Bibles or Prayer Books: Gifting a children’s Bible or prayer book is a thoughtful gesture that supports the child’s spiritual journey. Look for editions designed for young children, featuring illustrations and stories that are easy for them to understand. Some versions come with the option for personalisation, adding a heartfelt dedication inside the cover.

Rosaries and Crosses: A small rosary or cross can be a lovely christening gift, serving as a symbol of protection and faith. For a more personal touch, choose a cross pendant that can be worn as jewellery or a decorative wall cross for the child’s room. Rosaries in soft pastel colours or made with beads that spell out the child’s name add an extra layer of thoughtfulness to this traditional gift.

Baptismal Candles: A beautifully crafted candle, often decorated with the child’s name and christening date, can serve as a reminder of the light and blessings bestowed upon the child. Some families light the baptismal candle on significant anniversaries, such as the child’s baptism day, adding a cherished ritual that grows with the family.

Modern and Unique Christening Gift Ideas

For those looking to break from tradition, here are some modern and unique ideas that are sure to make a memorable impression:

Time Capsules: A time capsule filled with notes, small gifts, and memories from the christening day is a wonderfully unique gift. Family members and friends can contribute letters, well-wishes, and mementos, which the child can open on a future significant birthday, like their 18th or 21st. This creative gift grows in sentimental value over time, becoming a treasure trove of memories.

Star Naming Certificate: Symbolic and ethereal, gifting a star named after the child is a one-of-a-kind gesture that holds a deep meaning. Each star comes with a certificate, allowing the family to locate it in the night sky. This gift is particularly fitting for a child christened during the holiday season, symbolising the light they bring into the family.

Personalised Storybooks: A personalised storybook where the child’s name is woven into the story offers a modern twist on traditional gifts. These books make the child the hero of their own tale, providing an engaging experience as they grow. Opt for stories that focus on values like kindness, courage, and love, reinforcing important lessons in an enjoyable format.

DIY Christening Gifts for a Personal Touch

For those who enjoy crafting, homemade gifts can be an especially meaningful way to celebrate the child’s christening. Here are some DIY ideas that bring a personal touch to the celebration:

Knitted Blankets or Clothes: A hand-knitted blanket, hat, or sweater can be a beautiful and comforting gift for a christening, especially if it’s made in holiday colours or decorated with small festive motifs. Each stitch reflects the time and care put into creating something special for the child.

Memory Jar of Blessings: Create a memory jar filled with notes of blessings and well-wishes from family and friends. Decorate the jar with holiday-themed elements, and present it as a keepsake that the family can revisit over the years. This thoughtful DIY project invites the entire family to participate, making it a collective gesture of love and support.

Handwritten Book of Affirmations: A book filled with affirmations, quotes, and positive messages for the child can serve as a source of inspiration as they grow. Write each message by hand, or create a scrapbook with decorative elements that make each page unique. This book will become a meaningful reminder of the family’s wishes and encouragement for the child’s future.

Conclusion

Selecting the perfect christening gift is about more than choosing an item; it’s about celebrating new beginnings and sharing love, blessings, and joy with the family. From timeless keepsakes and practical gifts to modern innovations and DIY creations, there’s something for everyone in this comprehensive gift guide. Each gift idea here serves as a reminder of the special occasion and the lasting bond shared with the family.

In the heart of Miranda, a growing trend has taken root among homeowners and art enthusiasts: custom frames. These bespoke framing solutions allow individuals to transform their artworks, photographs, and mementos into distinctive displays that reflect personal style and taste. Whether you're looking to showcase a family portrait, preserve a cherished piece of art, or add an extra touch to a room, custom frames in Miranda offer endless possibilities for creativity and personalisation.

Why Choose Custom Frames?

Custom frames provide flexibility and uniqueness that store-bought, ready-made frames simply cannot match. When you opt for a custom frame, you're not just choosing how to display something but how it will be experienced. The right frame can elevate its contents, turning a simple image or object into a work of art. This is particularly true for those in Miranda seeking more than just a functional solution, but something that integrates seamlessly with their interior design.

One of the main reasons to consider a custom frame is the ability to tailor it to your exact preferences. You can select every aspect of the frame, from the material, size, and finish to the subtle details like the matboard and glass type. This level of customisation ensures that your frame will not only suit your personal style but also complement the aesthetics of your space.

Personalising Your Space

In Miranda, home interiors are increasingly becoming a reflection of personal taste. Custom framing allows residents to curate a space that tells their story. Whether it's a collection of travel photos from around the world, children's artwork, or sentimental memorabilia, custom frames can help turn these items into cohesive and beautiful displays. While pre-made frames may limit your options, custom frames offer limitless design opportunities.

Frames can also create a sense of harmony within a room. For instance, choosing frames that match or complement the existing colour palette can help tie disparate elements together. Alternatively, a bold, contrasting frame can create an eye-catching focal point. The ability to experiment with design ensures that custom frames allow you to craft a truly unique display.

Material Choices for Custom Frames

When creating custom frames in Miranda, the choice of materials plays a crucial role in the final result. From classic timber to sleek metal, the material of the frame can dramatically affect the overall look and feel of the piece it’s intended to display.

Wooden Frames: These are often favoured for their timeless appeal. Wooden frames range from rich, dark tones to light, natural finishes, offering a versatile solution for traditional and contemporary interiors. A wooden frame may be ideal if you seek warmth and character.

Metallic Frames: Metallic frames are popular for a more modern or industrial look. Available in finishes such as gold, silver, bronze, or matte black, these frames can add a sleek, minimalist touch to your decor. Metallic frames work well for contemporary art or photography, providing a clean and modern aesthetic.

Acrylic and Specialty Materials: For those looking to make a statement with something more unconventional, acrylic or other specialty materials offer a bold alternative. These materials can be designed in various shapes and colours, allowing for highly creative and personalised framing solutions.

The Importance of Matboards and Glass

While the frame itself plays a key role in the overall aesthetic, two essential components that should not be overlooked are the matboard and glass. Both serve functional and decorative purposes, contributing to your framed item's longevity and visual appeal.

Matboards: A matboard is the border between the artwork and the frame. It protects the piece from direct contact with the glass and provides a visual buffer to enhance the artwork's presentation. Custom matboards come in various colours, textures, and thicknesses, offering another layer of personalisation.

Glass Options: The type of glass you choose is also crucial. High-quality glass protects your artwork from dust, UV light, and other environmental factors. Options include standard, anti-reflective, and museum-grade glass, each offering varying levels of clarity and protection. While standard glass may be sufficient for most projects, UV-protective and anti-glare glass are recommended for preserving valuable or delicate items.

Conclusion

Creating unique displays with custom frames in Miranda allows you to elevate your home décor and preserve your cherished items in a way that reflects your individuality. You can transform any space into a curated gallery of memories and art by choosing materials, finishes, and details that suit your style. Whether you're framing a beloved painting, a family photograph, or a piece of memorabilia, custom frames provide both aesthetic and functional benefits that standard frames simply can't match.

One delightful way to celebrate love and togetherness during this festive time is with a personalised Christmas ornament for couples. At The Ornament Shop, we believe that each ornament should tell a story, encapsulating special moments and memories shared between partners.

The Significance of Personalised Christmas Ornaments Personalised Christmas ornaments are more than just decorative pieces; they hold sentimental value and are a wonderful way to commemorate significant milestones in a couple's life. Whether it's their first Christmas together, a wedding anniversary, or the arrival of a new family member, these ornaments serve as tangible reminders of cherished moments.

A Reflection of Love: Each personalised ornament is a reflection of the couple’s unique journey together. Custom engravings can include names, dates, or special messages that hold deep meaning. This personal touch transforms an ordinary ornament into a treasured keepsake that couples will love to display year after year.

A Family Tradition: Incorporating personalised ornaments into holiday traditions creates a sense of continuity and family bonding. Couples can hang their ornaments on the tree together, sharing stories about the memories attached to each piece.

Gift of Thoughtfulness: In a world where mass-produced gifts dominate, personalised ornaments stand out as thoughtful, unique gifts. When you choose to give a personalised Christmas ornament to a couple, you show that you have put time and effort into selecting something that resonates with their story.

Choosing the Perfect Personalised Ornament At The Ornament Shop, we offer a variety of options to help you find the ideal personalised Christmas ornament for couples. Here are some considerations to keep in mind when selecting the perfect ornament:

Design and Style The design of the ornament should reflect the couple's personality and style. Whether they prefer a traditional look with classic motifs or a modern aesthetic with sleek lines, there are countless options available. Consider choosing ornaments that feature themes they love, such as travel, hobbies, or special interests.

Materials Ornaments can be crafted from a range of materials, including glass, wood, ceramic, and metal. Each material has its charm and appeal. Glass ornaments, for instance, can be beautifully painted and adorned, while wooden ornaments offer a rustic touch. Choosing the right material can enhance the overall aesthetic and durability of the ornament.

Customisation Options The beauty of a personalised Christmas ornament lies in the customisation options available. Think about what you would like to include—names, dates, meaningful quotes, or even a special photo of the couple. At The Ornament Shop, we provide a range of customisation options, allowing you to create a one-of-a-kind ornament that truly represents the couple’s love story.

Making it Special Once you've selected the perfect ornament, consider how to present it to the couple. Here are a few creative ideas to make the gift even more special:

Include a Heartfelt Note Attach a heartfelt note explaining the significance of the ornament and why you chose it for them. Personal messages can make the gift more meaningful, creating an emotional connection that they will cherish.

Create a Gift Bundle Consider bundling the ornament with other thoughtful gifts, such as a matching set of personalised stockings or a holiday-themed picture frame. This adds an extra layer of thoughtfulness and shows that you care about making their holiday season special.

Share a Memory If you have a special memory associated with the couple, share it with them when you give the ornament. This could be a moment you all shared during a holiday celebration or an inside joke that makes them smile. Sharing memories helps to strengthen your bond and adds sentimental value to the gift.

A Lasting Legacy Personalised Christmas ornaments for couples are not just gifts; they are legacies. Each ornament tells a story that can be shared and celebrated for years to come. As couples hang their personalised ornaments on their Christmas trees, they’ll be reminded of the love, joy, and laughter they’ve shared.

001 - UNSH!TBOX (KAMM'S EK1)

Since I was a kid, my parents always taught me that honesty is the best policy. With that being said, these photos are from earlier in the year, but the car remains exactly the same, just less shiny (thanks to @madautodetailing). I bought this car at the end of 2021 as a purchase to fill the void during a rather challenging time in my life. It gave me something to focus my time and energy on.

My older brothers and my dad have always been team Toyota. My oldest brother had a couple of Z20 Soarers, his first car was an '80s MR2 with pop-up headlights, and most recently, there’s a Crown Majesta sitting on my dad’s driveway. My middle brother has owned a Z30 Soarer and the coolest car, a Toyota Aerocabin. The Aerocabin is a super rare, two-door Soarer that swaps its rear passenger seats for a hard-top, convertible roof. My dad also had a Celsior. I would sit in the back and press a button in the armrest that would fold the front headrest down and slide the chair forward—it’s safe to say my brothers were not fans of this. You can imagine the response when I said I wanted to get a Honda Civic. I liked the way they looked, and a family friend, Simon (better known online as Joydrive), had a really cool yellow EK, which I hoped to replicate. After many messages to him asking if “this one was good?”, we picked one up for just under $5k, with around 250,000 km on the odometer.

As referenced in Simon’s “Reviewing the Joydrive EK Civic,” I have a bottom-of-the-range, windy-window Honda Civic. It’s the facelift model (made between 1999-2000) and was in pristine condition when we picked it up—something that would change during my ownership. The previous owner had looked after it immaculately, and it was mostly stock, other than an Integra DC5 steering wheel, replica Integra blade wheels, and a Skunk2 shifter knob. It has a D16Y4 engine with an impressive 0-60 time of about thirty seconds, but it ran smoothly and was cheap to run as a daily driver. There were no "beans," a testament to its 88kw/118hp engine*.

I grew up around *Need for Speed ProStreet* and *Initial D*, so I had big plans, and after saving up, I started modifying it. The first thing was EK9 cup holders, as my partner at the time grew tired of holding my drinks between gear changes. I ordered some “angel eye” LED headlights and a rear lip from an online store and found an unpainted front bumper, white front lip, and replica EK9 grille, along with the personalised plates “EK1WA.” It was all starting to come together just as I’d planned—until one drive home from work when I rear-ended a BMW X5.  

I stand by the fact it wasn’t my fault; she was merging in front and stepped on the brakes abruptly. The bonnet bent upwards, and the engine frame was twisted inwards. I went to a wrecker and sourced a new bonnet, front left fender, and a new bumper to match (I had one from before, but it was bogged together, and the wrecker’s one was in better condition). After taking it to a fairly average panel beater, it was presentable again. Thankfully, it was mechanically sound, or I would have cried having it written off. You could say it was restored to factory settings. The old headlights went back on, the front lip wasn’t attached (I still have it—it just needs to be put back on), and it looked almost identical to when I first bought it. This was a hit to my motivation, and for a year, it sat as a daily driver, with the paint fading day by day until I got it detailed. This was the start of what I call the “un-sh!tbox era.” After replacing the previously crinkled number plate (the result of love-tapping a tow ball) and getting it paint corrected and ceramic coated, it looked like I hopped in a time machine and drove it out of the showroom.

I���m in two minds about where we go from here. After seeing builds like @hellokitty_assia’s Hawkeye WRX or @eurmum_kirby’s MX5, part of me still wants to see through the original objective of wrapping it pastel blue and adding the cool headlights, but I’ve grown to learn that less is more. Clean, OEM cars are equally admirable, as I learned from walking around REXNation’s meet last weekend. So for now, I’m 50/50, but I’ve re-found my passion and cannot wait to see where the road takes us (all puns intended). If you want to keep up to date, follow my personal Instagram (https://instagram.com/ek1wa). Again, a huge thank you to MadAutoDetailing, Simon/Joydrive, and a big “eff you” to the lady driving the X5.
