So, I've been knocking around on the forum for a while, first with my orange 1.2 Mk2 called Gino which is now my sister's and at the end of last year I bought myself a 2006 1.9 GPS in orange!
I'm from Chesterfield in Derbyshire but at University in Cardiff if anyone lives near either of those places?
Loving the car at the moment, it's had a couple of the usual problems (rusted servo plate and a couple of other bits and bobs but thanks to you guys on the forum I got to them early so not too much of a problem)!
As it stands the car has a few subtle mods:
Lowered 45mm on Apex springs
Abarth headlights
Powerflow rear silencer
De-badged grille and de-punto'd rear
De-wipered rear
Vinyled between grilles
Black fork sporting wheels
Tinted side indicators
Tinted rear 3 windows
Team Heko wind deflectors
Short ariel
So here's my old mk2, Gino

And here's my GPS, Sydney, as I bought him:

And a few shots I took yesterday while out for a drive:

I just picked up some Forge subframe braces from chimera gunner on here so will be fitting them as soon as the weather sorts itself out!
I now have 3 things which I'd like to do but undecided yet:
1. Coilovers: would have to be budget ones so either FK AK street or JOM
2. Remap: would love a remap but this car needs to last me another 3 years at least so not sure about the longevity of the gearbox and turbo if I go for the remp
3. Exhaust: I know it's a diesel but I'd love a sporty sound, I was thinking straight through but I just worry about the legal implications of decat and DPF delete and don't want it to be a drone, just loud when I boot it, not with normal driving.
So if anyone has any suggestions or comments they'd be appreciated!
Cheers guys,
Jacob
