Here is a picture. I haven't actually got it on the road yet, so this is the best I have so far. 
The car seems standard apart from a crappy induction kit (going to be taken off and replaced with a standard airbox, and a nice stainless exhaust. I am not sure what make it is, but it has the stealth tailpipe.

The headlights could do with a bit of a polish, the picture makes them look better than they are.
It already has a stealth stainless cat back system on it, but I haven't worked out what make it is yet. It has a middle and rear silencer and ins't especially loud which suits me.
Having had a look at a few pictures it does look like a Ktec or a Janspeed.

Yeah I was planning on keeping the exhaust.
It has a cone filter on there at the moment which sounds rather chavvy, plus my insurance company want extra if it is fitted so iI am going to get a standard airbox.
The tyres are nearly new. They are Cooper CS6, which are not brilliant but they could be worse...
The whole car looks to have been very well looked after, the only other issues are that one of the steering wheel thumb grips is broken and the aux belt sqeals a bit when the engine is first started. They are only £10 or so so I am going to change it.

Are the thumb grips easy to get from here?
The wheel is a bit melted like many of the other ones I have seen, but nothing too serious. My dad had a similar problem with the full fat 182 he owned a few years back and he was able to clean it up.
I might be tempted to swap the seats for the half leather itemsat some stage as they look so much better than the basic cup ones.

Nice cup. Had a 172 and now my cup, which I much prefer. Love the no frills spec of the cup. Happy fettling/ moding, it never stops...!
Looks nice. Welcome.
With the melted wheel..... I used a plastic edge, something like a plastic ice scraper, to get the big lumps off. Once their off I went over it with heavy sandpaper, moving on to finer grades. Took 20 mins if that and is a hell of a lot better and smoother! [emoji106] [emoji5]
Obviously don't go insane with the sandpaper [emoji14]
Other than that a refurbish is around 140 ish.
