So now the cars finally clean on the outside i thought i would share a few pictures and possible plans for the old girl in the not too distant future.
A few basic details about the car;
53 plate
164,000 miles
163bhp version
And now the not so good bits I need to fix/address
Big ole gash on the rear passenger door, need to find a breaker replacement
Rear bumper took a slight nudge and distorted, easy fix?
Old baked on wax to the trim, tried to shift the stuff but nothings worked yet :(
Centre console is broken and in bad nick, so a replacement needed again
So, as for changes and what not I'm simply trying to get it working as it should for now before i consider anything too extreme. A rough break down of this is;
New siren kit to fix the alarm fault code
Clean EGR mixer pipe, identify perished pipes and replace as neccesary
Replace rear passenger door and centre console
Clean interior and engine bay up
Once all the bases those bases are covered I may look into some OEM 17 alloys to replace the heavily kerbed ones i have and a possible remap to around 200bhp. However, with the engine on 164,000 miles I'm not sure that's wise and possibly inviting calamity.
Look forward to comments and suggestions :)
