I have no pictures of the car standard, but this is what I've done so far: - Custom induction kit - Supersport 50mm lowering springs - 18" Team Dynamics ProRace 1.2 - Painted yellow calipers - Colour-coded door strips - Tinted rear lights and indicators - Xenon-look bulbs I'll upload more pictures when I have better ones! Plans for the future... - Custom dual exit exhaust - Coilovers - Re-map - Window tint |

Reckon to finish it off you need to colour code the mirrors like the higher models and the door handles. Also most important of all....I am sure it is missing it's spoiler! |

It's a VTR 1.6. I removed the side strips and sprayed them myself. They came out pretty well, despite the slight colour difference! Good ole Halfrauds paint. And yes, it is missing a spoiler! |

The door is moulded for them, also would leave a lot of holes behind. Looking at around 42 holes total if I remember correctly. The clips are expensive as well. Only be worth it if you filled it all in and smoothed the door. |

Yeah the white wheels look good on a black car. Almost got white myself, but I'd seen quite a few silver cars and it never seems to look that good, so went with black. The original plan was to smooth the door, but when I took the side strips off, I could then see that the door is actually shaped at the bottom and sticks out quite a bit, so it would be an odd lump! |

I'm looking at getting mine remapped at the minute However I'm getting Crazy prices and I had my swift Remapped and the prices I've got was no where near what I'm getting now... What's the rough price of a remap..? I'm getting quotes or around £300-400. "/ The swift only cost me £210 for a custom map |

Angel Tuning gave me a quote of £250 so with 20% off, you're looking at £200. BHP Increase:-12 Lb Ft Increase:-12 Economy Improvement:-8-10% Overall / 14-16% Urban I'm sorting the exhaust in the next few weeks, so I'll look into the remap more after that. |

car looks nice, you'll have to keep people informed on the remaps as a few who have the 1.6 petrol have had no luck in getting their cars remapped. | ||
