Welcome. Ours is a 2010 Dynamic Eco 1.2 but doesn't have those rubber bump strips on the doors which, as my Mrs uses the car for shopping a lot, would be very useful. We also have the opening glass sunroof which I'd rather we didn't as If it breaks down, or some idiot smashes it, will cost a small fortune to put right. Other than that we both love the wee car and I find it pretty easy to work on and maintain.
Two of my three children both had Pandas as their first cars, my oldest boy had an Allegro, but I was working for a BL agent at the time. The Pandas were the cheapest "real cars" we could find at the time to insure and have all proved reliable (we've run Pandas as second cars for around 40 years now)
As regards modifications. So much has been said above I can't think of much to add except that, and I know you will want to make your first car truely yours, - the first mod I did to my 1964 850 Mini was to put a wee flag pole on the bonnet so I could fly a skull and crossbones flag! - I'm sure the insurance people would be absolutely horrified at that these days! However it might be a better idea to save the money, build up your no claims and then, when you can afford something with more "cred", splash out a bit?
Regarding the rear window tints? My younger boy has a sign writing business and mostly what he does is "wrap" vans and private hire cars. He also gets involved in doing window tints and other stuff like carbon fibre effects etc, He would agree with the above comment about it sometimes making you more prone to being "pulled" by the lads in blue. However what will get you "pulled" for sure is lights not working, especially rear side or brake lights, and once you're stopped it gives them the chance to go over everything else and breathalyse or drug test you too! When my kids were starter drivers I got them to check lights every time they were going out in the evening and, unlike some of their friends, they very seldom got stopped. Oh, and DO NOT be tempted to apply lens tint/blackener to your rear lenses will you! My younger boy did that on his Escort and got in a whole lot of bother for it. Whatever you decide I'm sure we'll all be here to help and offer advice - enjoy your new car.
