seeing as insurance renewal came up, and 1.6 16v + TB's + 12 points + 1 yrs no claims = not many companies would cover me, decided to stick with my 1.2 sxi. getting some new wheels this weekend all being well, already got some bits to go on as well.
should hopefully look something like this:



what you guys think?
please be nice

yep, all gone now end of an era.
got fed up with the expense to be honest, never had a month with spare cash for myself
1.2 is half the insurance costs, and cheaper to run

5 stud wheels ws to much work with the 1.2 engine, need custom hubs n cant be arsed spending the money. might still do it as a side thing n just not get any decent wheels for now, havent decided yet.

got -50mm springs n shocks at the minute, which i would use. ideally id still wana b able to take a full load of people etc
