As some of you are aware, I got my car like 2 days ago lol, so as u can guess, I wanna play as I can't drive it yet lol... 
I've already de-badged it and put sum white side light bulbs in... I have a 60mm lowering kit on it's way.. I am ordering a badgeless grill and clear side repeaters tomorrow when I get my wage.
Until I recieve all this I can't really think of much to do on it tbh lol... Anyone got any ideas... Something I can be doing..??
This is what it looks like now, standard lol

And thanks, few people said it's tidy already, odd rust bits around, mainly front of bonnet and both doors where someone has tried to break in in the past and cracked all the paint! lol

Well tbh I'm struggling with clutch control lol,although it's first time ive driven properly really tonight lol... wowza lol... Dad knows alot about cars, he says get a k&n panel filter, drill hole in bottom of air box and have a pipe feedin straight to bottom of air box lol... seems a good idea but I want the sound and dad says if i do that it wont make it sound any different but it will be better cause it's gettin a direct feed of cold air... lol..
And yeah I know there's no need to rush lol, just with the novelty isnt it, soon wear off n i wont b arsd lol, same with my scooter haha...

Indeed, 12v's ftw. All about 47mpg consistently with cheaper fuel than diesel
But seriously, my 12v just turned the 80k mark, got it at 59k about 20 months ago, it hasn't put a foot wrong.

1. remove rear window wiper
takes 10 minutes and looks good
...however you will need a 19mm grommit from halfrauds to fill the hole
2. remove aerial?? depends on if you use it
3. twist front wipers round on spindle so they sit lower on windscreen
4. sunstripe if you plan on getting one...may not suit car though
have fun and as first comment says, dont rush things
u2u me if you need any help
