Collecting my 1.4i SXI tomo from Stevens Vauxhall.

Already decided whats gonna be my very 1st cd to play in it! Also im driving up to Manchester Friday to give it a good run, cant wait!!

Not sure where to start with modding it tho, any ideas or suggestions? I have my metal tax disc holder ready to be fitted!

If its brand new, dont forget to run it in, and not to push it past 3,000rpm for the first 500 miles. then again, its a 1.4 so i dont know why you would anyway

Comes with 15" alloys, thought about the Irmsher front lower spoiler and side skirts but was an extra 900 quid!
