hey guys, bought my first care other day and ive finaly took some pics after getting it cleaned up as it sat in the the mechanics garage for ages and it was filthy
heres me 1.4sri






my exhaust is getting welded on on wednesday so it should sound nice then
what you guys think for my first car?
im gonna get it lowered but the mechanic said my alloys are to wide and it would just rub the arches or something along those lines.
gonna be getting a kit for it in 4 weeks time when i get paid but im deciding wether to get the combat kit or the jap style kit from ebay as they are both going for around £150-200 and thats all i can realy afford
P.S when i buy my kit for it how will i know which paint to spray it as the car has been resprayed before and i dont have a clue what the actual colour is

thank you very much, i think there will be a difference in the paint colour anyway as i think it was sprayed a while ago and will have faded a bit but i doubt its nothing serious
