Have now owned the car for a year, yay!
So this is how it's looking now:


Pics were taken a few weeks back but I've still not got around to finishing the rubbing down of the tailgate. And does still need a good wash. So it still looks the same, but I'll give it a good going over when I've got a day off sometime.
Insurence is sorted, with 1 years no claims for £615 if stock, £635 with mods. Good, but still expensive.
Future plans, I guess, for the next couple of months, are to relocate the tweeters that are currently tucked in behind the carpet to the A-pillars, fitting an almera cup holder(depending on price) and the sportier-looking Si/2ndfacelift clock surround and a wraparound spoiler if I can find any.
Then after the MOT, I'll be fitting corsa b coilovers ultralites and a lhd rear light
May also look into some clever weight reduction at some point, ie removing sunroof mechanism, replacing glass windows for perspex and relocating battery. Still got plans for a reground inlet cam, headskim and l/w f/w to do first if I can source them. Quite a list but hopefully I'll get it done this year:glare:
