heres some pics of my car i bought a couple of weeks ago after a good clean:

Image

Image

bit of a dent in the back where someone i guess before reversed into a street lamp or somit:

Image

basic DOHC engine, no improvements as of yet but maybe going to upgrade the sparks and HT leads (any suggestions) and maybe a RocSpeed induction kit - does this effect your insurance?:

Image

really tidy interior in black, no sign of dogs or cats :) lovin the fake wood interior:

Image

finally, any good cleaning product etc i could get to clean these alloys up?:

Image

cheers, James

Meguairs hot rims and a jet wash, will remove most from the wheels, followed by Clay and a wax. As for spark I would go for the Mighty Silver Iridiums and either kerr nelson leads ( both bought from Roc ) or magnecor leads ( gold members get a nice discount :thumbright: )

regarding the leads:

http://www.fordprobestore.co.uk/store/p ... ts_id=1166
or
http://www.fordprobestore.co.uk/store/p ... ts_id=2383

the more expensive ones worth the difference?? if so ill have to wait a bit to get the cash :)

these sparks worth it or the ones u can get for £40 better overall?

Not sure about the mis-matching centre caps and badges :lol: Very nice though. Not seen the wood trim on a 1.5 before..?

We need to get ours parked next to each other at a meet, lets play spot the difference!!
