Right been on here a while now thought I'd start a thread as I'm constantly changing this car and playing with ideas might be interesting for some, it started as a bog standard 1.1 Y reg desire in quartz silver 70,000 miles on the clock not the best condition but by far not the worst and for £500 I couldn't complain it was what I wanted and was close to where I live, I have no pictures from standard to how it looks now so my thread will be from what it is as I speak now.

To start this car is always super clean I am mega OCD and i clean this car every week without fail I've even been known to go out once it has rained and dry the car no idea why that's who I am lol.

They're we go I do not have many photos as of yet but like I said things are constantly changing and I will update regularly.

Looked lovely at Trax, I was the lad in the 106 diesel I saw on the motorway you gave me a smile ;) really is a slow car mine haha was hard getting by on that hill.

Haha cheers mate, yeah did catch you on the motorway first car i saw and said "Yeah i know where youre going today lol" and the hill tell me about it because this isn't the quickest either, nice to meet you anyway dude.

Reconised it when you posted the exhaust thread last week. I took that middle pic :hug:

Ahh I see not a bad photo either matey ;)

Yeah i wasn't tailgating you we were trying to get there as quick as I could, from preston to trax I was virtually flooring it the whole way, used half a tank which is about 30mpg in my diesel lol

Should turbo it really :homme::p

Once you lower yours will look sick

Lol we were the same wanted to get there before the mahoosove ques start and everyone is standstill for an hour, turbo that's what i like to hear ;) and yeah I do want It lowered, it will at some point but I want new wheels before it gets lowered and as Christmas is approaching money for rims is bottom of my list :(

Thats how I recognised it on at trax :s

Looks good, but I think your alternator belt needs tightening.

Same Ha ha and that made a right racket! i think all of us standing near turned and looked lolol :zainy:

Easy job OP.

Haha already done it guys, it was fine all the way to silverstone until I thought it would be a great idea to thrash it through the tunel got out the other side and that was it, belt was as a loose as anything when I got home that night

Update: been mega busy with work etc at the min so progress is slow but I bought some morette lights of a mate last night bit unsure at minute mabye they'll grow on me , not the best photo will get a better one tomorrow in the daylight

Daytime photo :)

Don't suppose they're the morrettes Carl Griffiths had for sale are they lol?

Car looks nice at Trax though mate :) Defo needs lowering though I'd say tbh :y:

Yeah they are mate, and yeah It does need to be lower I do plan on lowering it I want new wheels first though:)

Bought a cheap cold air feed kit of ebay just for styling really was a bastard to fit as I ordered the trumpet to small but made a custom bracket out of polypropylene and it sits flush now, it definatly has made a small difference as I have an open cone induction kit



Also de-whispered the rear in the week will get some better photos up tomorrow :)
Just looking for the right wheels now and then it will be lowered...

Few cheeky photos ;)
