Picked up a side project from work last week. I work as a Claims Officer at a local insurance company and this was deemed a constructive total lost after it hit park bench and small tree. Damage is limited to few replaceable body parts, scuffed rim and busted tire. The vehicle is a 2012 Greatwall Wingle 5 or Steed 5 in Europe or V280 in Australia w/ about 16,000 miles. Its uses the same cab and frame as a Isuzu Dmax & Colorado/Canyon. Many of the interior parts are the same as well. This version is a 2WD uses a 2.8L TC diesel engine w/ 5 speed manual transmission. Its the base model manual mirrors and power windows only in the front.
Plans...
Toyota Tacoma silver paint job
Remove body moulding and emblems
Black grille emblem
Black base with body matched housing Colorado mirrors
Remove the ugly bar at the front of the bed
Remove rear bumper
Headlights painted Audi black w/ LED city lights and DRL
6k HIDs in headlights and foglights
Crank the torsion bars to level out the vehicle
Side steps
Smoked 3rd brake light to match already smoked tails

Began working on the lights. Took off the nasty smoke job, painted inside an Audi black and wired up some LED city lights and DRL. Just need to have them cleared now.

Smoked the 3rd break light using a combo of the Audi black and Duplicolor Shadow paint
