New Member, Hows it goin

[mackerz45]

Hey, Ive just managed to buy sisters old S1 1.1 graduate, its my first car since ive been away at uni, so when i graduate in the next few months il get a chance to get some work on it. As my insurance wil be through the roof, ive planed to just stick to body/interior mods and try and keep the car looking like it just came from the factory, i.e no mental bodykits. Was thinkn about either making it a Rallye Rep or an Xsi rep? anyone have any tips or new ideas, my plan so far is.

-Lowered 35 or 40mm
-Rallye or Xsi archs
-colour code parts
-Rallye or Xsi front Bumper
-Am i right in thinkn the rear bumpers are the same on all cars just sprayed?
and sum nice rims, still debatin wat to go for, guess it all depends on whether i go Rallye or Xsi?
-and a few light interior mods, ie. c.d player maybe sum 6x9's since the radio's wreaked!:(

anyone have any ideas how much roughly this would cost since im broke as, im planning to do all fitting and spraying myself as a mate has a repair garage.
Any help would be greatly appricated, Cheers Folks :)

good to see another S1 ;) the rallye and XSI have driffrent front and back bumpers from the rest of the poverty spec models. for the first few mods i'd say itl probably be around £200 in parts, give or take! i'd go for a rallye replica though, then that gives you and excuse to put a rallye engine in it when you have the cash :p
