U can get some Apex springs for £70
They make two kits: one for the Turbo and 1.7d and one for the rest

Ive got mine lowered with the standard shocks and to be honest, i cant tell the difference in ride quality, seems the same to me

Im liking the bike exhaust!

I rekon clear front indicators would look good too, could try and source some from a scrappy

Yes the uno does have clear inds on some models, if you don't fancy trawling round a scrappy Direct Car Parts do some brand spanking new ones for about 30quid including postage

yeah your better off getting the new ones.. saves having to scrape mold off the old ones [xx(]

but yeah defo get it lowered.

my uno had original shocks on the front and gmax shocks on the rear. the ride wasnt bad atall really. it was lowered 60mm at the back and 35mm at the front. The front looked perfect at that height on 15" wheels. Rear looked perfect too actually..

but about 35-40mm would look good. try http://www.needforspeed.co.uk for springs.. well acutally they do loads of stuff for unos.

Suriname 

If i was Moshpit666 id just find some clear indicators from a scrappy like i did, i got mine off a 1.4, £30 seemed a bit steep to me for a pair of lights when u only need the lenses and bulbs anyway!
Im not sure whats happened to the www.les-smith.co.uk website, but they were selling jamex springs for something like £40!

Like the white alloys! are they powdered or sprayed?

not so keen on how the fogs are though, maybe you should cut the holes out and put them behind. that's just my opinion though, you should have your uno how you want it :)

I find it kinda funny,i find i kinda sad, the dreams in which im drivin my uno are the best i eva had!

the grill is alrite... if u still have the original grill then just put that back on with the mesh behind it. will look good! Bike exhaust doesnt really look any different to a car exhaust... how does it sound?

The whole point of modifying is to get something unique, if u like the grille then keep it!

Defo like the exhaust! [8D]

Seeing as theres no badges at the front, id take off the ones next to the side repeaters too. There only glued on so just heat them up, nick ur gf's hairdryer, that does the job!
