Sadly my old sport was getting on a bit and i wanted something new and a bit faster so i saved up the pennies and got a 1.6 sport,
previous car was a 1.4 in rio verde ( miss the colour so much!)

Now onto the new car, its whitties old sport, its been sat under a tree in an old womans garden for a while, when i got it:

it did have tigra wheels but i popped my speedlines on asap,
gave it a clean after work, not as red as i want it to be but was a quick wash:

Then tonight just before the new owner came i got a shot of them both:

plans are, brakes and exhaust.
brakes are getting done tomorrow and exhaust will be next month sometime. cheers for looking

dont pop them off mate they keep everything nice and greased up, i just took mine off and flattened the cap a bit then put em back, then a bit of double sided tape to stop the centre caps rattling and for safe measure, job done.

If you pop off the stickers on your speedline centre caps you can drill out the centre hole a bit bigger, then stick the stickers back on, that way you can keep the dust caps on the hubs.
Just the way i did it because i didnt want any crap getting in there..
