Bravo (Classic) 1.6 sx from holland

Introduction

A short introduction of my bravo:

Bought it with a broken cam belt, which resulted in 8 destroyed valves. I only just turned 18 then so it was no problem, enough time to fix this problem.
After that was fixed i started to make it look right, first a general wash and polish:

after that I got to work on the oxidated wheels, I wanted something special so they were painted in red and black. Also i found an original Eibach lowering kit on the attic so that was also thrown on the bravo (meanwhile I got my license)

A lot of other little mods were done like painting the door mirrors and placing coupé badges on the door plates:

After a year or so i got bored with my old wheels so i bought a nearly perfect set of 15" deltaHF wheels. only problem was that they were powdercoated while i like the original polished look, so on came the sander and the polished and they were resorted in (almost) their original glory. It's is a lot of work (I wont do this twice :eek:) so at the moment only 3 are completed and 2 are mounted on the car. To support the look of the wheels I bought a 2nd hand kw variant 1 kit.

Between the sanding and polishing i also found time to mount a complete (even the aluminum support behind the dash and passenger airbag) interior of a 98' GT.

I probably forgot something I've done but these are the main modifications I've done to the car.

Also a quick pic of the bravo on the winter tyres (although there is no winter here this year :bang:).


ps: does anybody know if it is possible to change the topic title?
 
The mpg is not that bad, only 2.5 less than the 1.6 (29.5->27). The only thing i miss is the racy feel of the old one.

@ CFREITAS:
for me it was the other way around, i actually wanted a lighter color (white, yellow, hard blue) but i couldn't find one with good mileage and price. Almost half the hgt's here are ink black.
