not really to be honest, shes my only car and i use her everyday. So i can't afford leaving her in the garage for too long for modifications. And i generally cant afford the mods either. Im only 19 and just started driving. But wouldn't mind doing something in the future when maybe i have more time and cash. . and possibly another car to carry out my daily needs
But she is one hell of a pocket rocket! impressivley easy to park, and fast enough to get me to the lectures on time.
Im trying to find some parts though maybe to replace some worn out interior.
the steering wheel leather cover is quite worn out. . is it possible to change it? has anyone done this?

 Dave to the rebels do like black cinq sportings thats what I used to ave,there is a feature on it on here in the quaterly car feature, its easier to just get another steering wheel in better condition than pi55 about getting it recoverd it can work out cheaper,ask charlie fett on here he somtimes has bits and pieces knocking about in his garage he might ave a spare one

she's brill. a little tlc and she will look ace. She looks in great nick for her age. small cosmetic things are cheap and easy to put right. P.S. have you tried ebay for a replacement steering wheel? It will be easy to change as it has no airbag. Or you can always go for an after market one. if you do make sure you get the correct boss kit. momo is the usual boss kit. A nice mod that won't add anything to your insurance premium.
