Looks pretty tidy.

Bonnet/light area looks a bit wonky, has it had a bump?

nice and clean looking,subtle is the best way,if you decide to spend dosh on tuning the best thing i ever did on my 1400 (before the redtop lol) was a janspeed 4branch,sportex decat and panel filter/bigger air feed,it sounded nice and went well,only my opinion of course bud

Lights will be going i will agree with that.Back to standard or possibly MHW's.Havn't thought about the drums and calipers because they dont look too 'In your face' in the flesh and the show cage is staying in

Rybo-Yeh had an Arden blue 1.2 16v lowered on speedlines with calibra leather,magnex system and a few other things but just wanted something quicker. The sport already has a raidHP induction kit and a full system with a de-cat and yeh I will admit I am impressed with what it is for a 1400

Yeah,i had a set of spax coilovers on my 1.2 for a while with adjustable dampners and fixed height on the back but they played havoc with the tyres that were on my speedlines so they had to come off

Nice buy mate, looks good. Great mileage too

Definitely change the lights like you said, it will look loads better.

Not usually much of a fan of silver cars any more, but that looks nice.

B3KAN-I do have proof of the mileage yeah,3 previous mot certificates and the current one which all seem to have sensible increases in mileage on each

Daveskater-Cheers buddy.I'm fair chuffed with it and yeah the lights will be standard probably and then eventually MHW's.I've never been a fan of silver cars in general but this one had an appeal about it
