Hi all,
Just bought a 1.6 Gen 1 coupe as a bit of an emergency purchase, but love it!
I've always had company cars and at the age of 31 have had to stand on my own to motoring feet very quickly, I love the lack of gadgets etc and the fact that it's just a driving experience. It's had a horrendous bodge fix down the rear passenger wheel arch that needs rectifying and someone has put LEDs on the front sills and boot (some people may like it, I don't....)
Just thought I'd say hi, really looking forward to learning and contributing to the community.
Adam

Re: Hi From York
Ouch !
Robbo is probably the best person to speak to about that, he's replaced his rear arches and used some sort of Fiat front wings to make new ones.
