Right so this is my little 3 pot engined car , its my first car and the more i see everyone else's cars on here the longer my list of "THING I NEED" gets... so i only really have images of when i bought the car back in December 2010 to November 2011.
1.0 12v LS
Star Silver 2
Bog Standard
'ONLY' £2200 to insure!
SO! This is what i bought for £600 and what a bargain it was !
Who really need an alarm when you have a dog who believes she's a passenger and wouldn't budge!
So my Best Mate is one of these kids who is obsessed with VAG, so he naturally decides to Dig into poor Sarah (The name my car somehow got? :boggle and then it would be hilarious to use as much blue insulation type as possible to give me 'racing stripes' well i was asleep... although amusing to drive round the block at 5000 Revs acting like a TIT, i then came to my senses and removed the tape.
Once again Sarah received even more abuse from my 'friends' who decided to get me drinking a god awful amount till i passed out... then done THIS!
Right anyways... after all this i ordered myself a nice spoiler and some window tints (i know i know... chav get em off ECT...) but a man needs some privacy at times yunno and this is the result...
I have to apologize for the picture quality as it was getting dark and i didn't have my camera ... tomorrow i shall upload some better ones
MY PLANS!
15" 6 Spoke Calibra Alloys Sprayed in that nice greyish colour can't think of whats its called Anthracite or something...
DEPO Headlights
60mm Dropped all around
All black interior with one of these:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150424134409?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
Calibra Leathers
Red Interior lights.. so thats all the switches dash Ect... ( my mum does these professionally give me a U2U and ill get in touch if your interested)
Sprayed Plastics (Either Star Silver II or Gloss Black)
And that's it guys! any feedback's cool i know theres ALOT to do but some original idea's would be nice will be updating on the regular to show you alot more!

How old are you if you don't mind me asking? 2200 is a bit pricey for a 1litre
Any engine plans?

OKAY! finally an update.
Now due to some arsehole over the christmas holidays deciding to put a brick through my back window TWICE, i havn't had much time to do anything to the car . However i have a nice new job, 12 months MOT and lots of Dosh its really time i started doing something with my car.
So...
Alloy wheels WOOP WOOP! i currently got a set of 15" Calibra Alloys for NOTHING! good condition too with 4 yoko tyres with 5mm tread, scrapped those real lights after one day waking up and thinking "WTF WAS I THINKING?". So Imry rear's are on! Full powerflow exhaust centre section and backbox. I got some silver angel eyes with Xenon bulbs on the way for £50 gonna see if i like the looks of them if not EBAY!. i also upgraded my car amplifier to a Sony GT 2002 which i highly recommend as if i wanna crank the bass up it vibrated the car, the car next to it and all the bitches sat in it too!. Replaced the seat covers and floor matts with some new ones too.
PLANS WITHIN 2 MONTHS
When it stops raining and snowing im spraying the exterior plastics star silver 2 to match the car
Slamming it on coilovers or be more reasonable and drop it by 40mm not sure yet
Wind deflectors
DTM Style mirrors
Irmy Softstars powercoated in either anthracite or a nice red colour (pics and prices would be cool?)
Patch up my paintwork as its terrible and also get rid of the rust on my sills
Whole interior im changing to BLACK including door cards carpet and rood liner (IF ANY OF YOU GUYS ARE SELLING THAT PLEASE U2U)
Stealth Shelf
Momo steering wheel
Plasma dials / Digital Dials
Buckets or Calibra leathers
Clean + Paint whole of engine bay and rocker cover as it looks like shit atm
Re Tint back window
After i got all that done and my car looks alright think i might actually have to meet some of the guys on here as Gloucester seems to be Saxo City atm..
oh ONE LAST THING! if any of you guys can post pictures relating to any of the stuff i wanna do to mine? that be brill!

nice plans, but just a worry for me? your doing all this to it, and its only a 1l, any plans to change the engine, cos it'd be a waste to do all that to the car and carry on running it as a 1l IMO
