Body wise its just the tints, I really dont want a bad boy!
I'm looking into UT brakes on the back so I can ditch the drums and write brembo in tipex on all the wheels.
Inside its a pair of custom speaker mounts to get some midrange up the front, as well as an amp to power all 4 of the 6x9s
Under the bonnet its going to get the tricker TB fitted, look into a 280 fast road cam and porting and polishing
If I'm not bankrupt by then I'll just have to get a turbo
Edit: Manifold as well
cant really tell what the paint job is like
but glad to see my cinqi in top shape :worship:
liking the front but it DESPERATLY needs skirts! VERY VERY DESPERATLY! the one thing i never got round to and neither have you you shoulda done em before the respray! saved some dosh hehe.
glad u kept the wheels too, and the seats

I love the wheels! They will really show off the UT brakes as well, if I decide to go that way.
I've take quite a liking to the seats, although if the right pair of buckets did come along it would be a tricky call
The amound of speed bumps around here side skirts would be nigh on impossible
Anyone in Northampton will confirm we have worse roads than most of the UK

no u gotta get skirts! even just some abarth ones will look better and arent low! you can leave the sides like that, they look bare!
or u could get some 14s

is that front bumper the old one but with the new one moulded on? reason i ask is the grill at the top is meshed and i cut that out years ago on that bumper
Bushboy said:or u could get some 14s
im my opinion i think it needs 14's, the arches need filling properly, especially with the style of bumper and the paint....
yeah true... some 14" 8 spokes some on ebay that would be great for £180 buy now

well apperently the centos speedo is about 10% out from the factory, it reads 10% higher than u are actually going, so fitting 14's will make it more accurate, and to be honest i hardly noticed a difference between 13's an 14's....

Lol, I can see that one standing up in speed camera court
I need a new speedo cable anyway!
u wont notice any difference with the speedo!
you could just get some skirts and get em sprayed black until you can afford the proper paint.

Its something I will look into, my grandad's garage is slowly filling with car bits that need 'just a bit of work before going on'
I'll have a chat with the guy at the body shop after xmas, he asked if there is anything else I wanted doing to it. . . bad question!

Stop being right!
Especially when it costs me things!
Great advice though, us 1242'ers need to stick together
