hi all, 1stly id like to say thx to all that gave me warm welcome on one of my question threads. 2ndly i new to this blogging malarkey so bear with me :) lol

iv got a 1.1 n reg escapade, found it in really good nick, still pritty standard on the outside as u can see but over next couple weeks im goin to put a ecosse spoiler with side repeaters on the tailgate to sproos it up abit, also new wing repeaters, clear or chrome not decided yet. what u think? some m3 style wing mirrors, and new alarm fitted. going to get new petrol cap thingy, anyone got any sites (apart from ebay) that seel decent ones? not too bothers about gti or xsi arches and bumpers, think ill just get a defuser for the front to lower it a smige and just lower it right down, kind of like the look of the back even tho its still got badges on, thinking of getting crome badges and little surprise when i do, also wanting new chrome (chrome lookin plastic) pug badge for the front, any sites?

on the inside as u can see if already started, it was standard when i got it, but the pics arent very good and it doesnt do it justice really, blues look diff clours but are actually all same lol and abit darker then what u see.:p iv got new stearing wheel, gear knob+gaiter, handbrake+gaiter, radio (a must) sub/amp, and just some seat covers and mats in. all blue and more importantly a matching blue, im wanting to get some checkplate for the floor soon and some under dash blue neons. i had them in last car and they were mint. also wanting new door speakers as iv broke one of them think was abit loud and has a buzz to it now, also trying to get the blue on the doot trim to match the blue on wheel and seats, any ideas? rip apart and restich or glue over? or just buy new? :confused:

Right developed a slight buzzing in one of my door speakers so i decided they are due a change, got on 130mm fli ones for £25. + they match my sub which is nice:) also got some leds to go behind the air vents, should look good shining out. also tryin to get my hands on blue led bulbs for behind my dials. might not need them tho because iv sent away for a price for some plasma dials, we will see what comes back from that and decide then.

Finally i fitted my new door speakers, was toying with the idea of doingthe door trims while i was at it but couldnt find the material that i really liked. so plodded on with fitting them. never knew that the standard 106 speakers were only 15w?:eek: now tho got some nice180w's in and sounds soooo much better. also found out buzzing was from the outer foam seal thingy. it had just disintergrated lol.

iv also just ordered some lockwood dials, in blue, with green numbers when at night, and white during the day. with standard white bulbs and such bargin at £16 includin posting!! :D should be here mid next week and will see about how to fit them, altho it says it comes with a compleat step by ste guide. sound to good to be true?
