Awesome little cars really. My ex had a cyborg mivec. Went well for what was A 1.6

Its not bad for a 1.3 to be fair.

Forgot to say, only paid £300 so cant complain. Not a speck of rust on it either :)

This is the kind of look im going for:

You should have either left the wheel trims on or not bothered painting them green & black.


I genuinley wish you happy motoring with this one.

Can always just put the trims back on, got a set of these to put on after the winter anyway and will get the coilovers done at the same time :)

Evo front end does look pretty sweet, been told its not too hard to drop an evo lump into these too!

Ordering the wind deflectors and side repeaters end of this week. Need to give it a good polish and wax sometime because the dirt is disgusting on there.

Been trying to find a decent exhaust but its an odd set up so not had much luck.

So you post a pic of what you have in mind...


Then spray the wheels black with a green lip and make it look a total heap?

If you were mad enough to do it, you'd be aswell to just buy an Evo.

Yeah would rather just get an evo to be honest.

Picture doesnt do justice of the wheels, put some tyre shine on there now and it looks ok, need some black covers for the wheel nuts as they look out of place at the mo.

Yeah you're right wheels probably need to be seen in real life to be appreciated man.

Can always put the trims back on anyway and had the paint lying around so didn't cost me anything., their only like that for the winter, pointless to waste money on fresh tyres at the minute when it came with all new ones, including the spare

You had that colour of paint, lying around?

Where was it lying? Halfords?

I preferred it with the wheel trims on if I'm honest. The pic of the other green one looks half decent so looking like that wouldn't be bad.

This thread looked destined to die, until that evo front end conversion popped up. Do that and nothing else.


...wait, do that and get rid of those wheels. It looks eastern european FFS.

Yeah im in two minds about it, will have a good look at it when ive got the spoiler on and cleaned it up properly.

Dont know about getting square style plates either or some pressed ones.

Got to be the weirdest choice ever. BUTTTTT has major potential. I want a cyborg. Really badly.

I don't understand how they made the front end of them look so good but the back end look horrific.

Yeah the cyborgs are really rare, import only I think?

Does just look like they gave up at the back to be honest, just looks like its melted.

I was going to come in to congratulate you on buying some kind of Hero Wagon.

Shame really.

Enjoy your golden years anyway. Much love to the Grandkids !

I'd put the trims back on and run it standard until you can afford something better. Looks like a good buy for £300.
