Little update not done a huge amount did a coolant change no more rusty water, topped the oil up ill do a change soonish.
Removed the front bumper as I have seen a few photos of them (let me know your opinion I'm not 100% on it yet) thinking of painting all the wheels black also got a tyre writing pen looks okay not much else done took a drive to Severn beach so here's some photos

I've been looking for a air dam but can't find one is there anywhere that sell them?

[dennismini93]

i like bumperless. splitter sounds cool as well

[creakyjaws5533]

If it stays bumperless I need to tidy it up a bit as it looks like the previous owner sprayed the bumpers on the car
Ive looked for a splitter I would need tk cut a universal one down but they are quite expensive about £70 so I go for the RR first
Also would people recommend a k&n cold air feed or an ITG and MED stub ?

Looks cool but deffo leave bumpers on, I also preferred the green rocker cover but each to there own.

[creakyjaws5533]

Yeah bumper will go back on just waiting to find a bumper without holes in

[creakyjaws5533]

Little bit of maintenance stuff done to the car fitted a new dizzy cap and rotor arm and they were knackered along with the rocker cover gasket, so the next thing was to swap the air box to one without holes drilled in it as the car seemed to lag under acceleration and top end so swapped for a mates spare and it runs a lot better now also moved the number plate to the side of the valence i think it looks pretty good but let me know you opinions that's all for now.

I really like this metro

[creakyjaws5533]

Popped round to a mates yesterday and had to try one of his wheels on he car they are 13x7 minilites ET-10 offset and I'm kinda in love with them they look so sweet but I don't think I can fit 13x7 on the round with out mods I know people you 13x6 on the front so I might have to look out for a pair of each
Here's some pictures

I really like this metro

Cheers mate in fairness most of the work was done by the previous owner yet to make my mark on it but changes will start happening slowly as I really should save some money

Surprised this one ended up in bristol and at dans place small world! like the car needs a front bumper though i think? take it those wheels scrub bad on the front? i got 12x6's on mine and i had to bend the lip of the wing back for them
