After nearly 3 years of trouble free ownership I've got the modifying bug again. Im glad I was patient in finding a good clean base car as a long term keeper
My plans are to give her a clean unique clean look & to do mods that wont negatively effect driveability, comfort or fuel economy.
I wont be doing anything too crazy as she's strictly a daily commuter / family car & is used more or less 6 days a week.
How she looked after a good wash.
After a few months of ownership my tyres were knackered so I put on my old 14' inch alloys I had lying around.
After 8 years of storage they still had decent tyre pressure
Steel wheels :

After :
The difference in lighter alloys was really good. Much more responsive & quick on pickup. Have had a run in with a few VTI's & with these wheels theres no difference in
performance until about 50mph+
