Compared to a VTS it is nothing, slow as fuck until hits about 3.5K revs, I don't bother going near that often though.

6 Months and enjoying it without a single problem, which is more than I can say for any of my old French tins.
MOT end of the month and it's probably the only one I have ever felt confident about.
Bumparoo also

My eyes are burning! But if it makes practical sense for you then fair enough.

Light smoke in the windows, little lows and some nice rims (option 2 from Jonjee) I think would set it right off tbh

With the right mods, you could silence a few people here.

There's no silencing some of them!
Mods are a no go ATM but maybe later on in the year. Lowering is a ball ache though as they do 40mm springs the lowest.

MOT'd last Friday with no advisories.
Hopefully it's a sign of good things to come.
Been considering mods but can't help thinking that I would be opening a can of worms that I could do without. Cars don't like to be modified in my experience.

Man up. 40mm lowering springs cost what, £60? While it won't look "low", it will look a lot better.
Replica wheels can be picked up for a couple of hundred quid these days.
Modifying doesn't have to be expensive...

OK, maybe it does with a Kalos.
AP do 50mm lowering springs for the front but they come in at over £100. The rears are 30mm though.
There's a couple of kits on here. 40/40 50/30 and 30/30. All about the £120 mark.

I don't understand why they would do fronts lower than the back surely if anything it would be the other way around with the weight of the engine being in the front.
