1.2 Replica
After owning my car for a few months, I felt it high time to start a thread to show and record my progress with the car. 
It's a Extreme 3 1.2 16v on a 2004 plate! It came with 57,000ish miles on the clock and was MOT'D and taxed the day I picked it up with only one advisory which was the front bushes were replaced almost as soon as I purchased the car. As I was 17 when I purchased the car I was currently taking lessons and struggling to pass my theory (passed 2nd time) the car was just sitting for two months while I was customizing/modifying it. Having passed in October the car was not being used so had a chance to go over and check it for common problems etc. I only have these photo's from my Instagram of the car when I purchased it however this is fitted with Angel Eye headlights as I had the hazed headlights and thought they looked a better alternative and some lexus style rear clusters (going to get slated for this) and M3 style wing mirrors which have now been removed as they looked too chavvy for my liking...
So after removing the wing mirrors and placing the standard mirrors back on, I was just browsing through some project threads on here and I purchased a R.S. front grille, a cup leather and alcantra interior interior, while the whole interior was out I also installed rear speakers and replaced the fronts. Next was a Sony bluetooth radio. Following fitting the interior resulted in the airbag + serv light came on due to the seats and some dodgy wiring.
So all of this was completed for when I passed in October and since then I have done some simple mods such as the Team Heiko wind deflectors and spray painted some of the interior strips; Airbag strip, Hazard trim and the drivers side trim in malaga orange to brighten up the inside. However I currently have no pictures of this. Shoutout to g172 who supplied me with Brembo discs and pads so I could replace my worn brakes!
At the moment I currently have some RS sport mats, a grab handle and the sun visor grommets which I need to fit as the old ones are fuc*** due to having to do the sunroof, following the guide on here however no point doing this as the car is filthy and I currently have a 172 body kit, exterior door moldings and exterior door handles in the process of being sprayed at the body shop so they need to be collected. Big thanks to Beaniemoo and Ade T for supplying me it at very very cheap prices, highly recommended.
Will get some more pictures up of the car at the moment in a few days and more when I have fitted the 172 Kit to the car.
Plans at the moment for the car;
Keep the car running efficiently!
Source some new tyres/alloys
Get airbag + Serv light removed
Get all my current parts fitted
Need to have a look at the tracking or something similar as car slightly pulls however this could be due to budget tyres.
Any suggestions welcome and constructive criticism!
