so far i have:
Taken off the bottom Grill and wet and dried and polished the intercooler
changed standard horns to red air horns (see below) looks like a bull now(y)
Tinted the side lights
bought 2 spare alloys with rubber for £25 absolute bargin of the year
Subwoofer in the boot with controls in the dash
new chrome wheel nuts because the old ones went a white/rusty colour from the salt in the road
new gear linkage because i snapped the old one :D

oh and de star-jetted the badge from the grill
Things to do:
paint calipers red
refurb my 2 spare alloys
maybe 10mm rear wheel spacers if i can find a cheap set.

Hi mate to be fair with you the car is economical. Around town depending on how heavy your foot is it will do 100 miles to 25 quid without any motorway. On long stretches its much more economical. It's a 1.4 remember so it will drink a little more than say the 1.2 but IMO it's a better engine
 
Gutted. That isn't right, it goes without saying its worth getting that looked at for sure. Is it the original battery from new? If it is, its worth changing regardless.
 
Yep so my battery decided to die on me because I didn't use it in 24 hours typical.

This happened to my car apparently before i bought it !

I have had it swapped to a new battery and not had any problems so far, also the battery has a built in indicator on it so i can always see whether its ok or not !
 
Service time!! Could anyone recommend a good reliable mechanic\ garage that will give the old girl a good service without bending me over in price? Needs to be close to hoddesdon. Hertfordshire cheers guys
