Been on here for a while now and havent started a build thread so here goes..
I have a rover 100 1.1 spi in nightfire red, bought it from a little granny near tamworth nearly 2 months ago which she had owned it for the last 10 years! it was on 50,900 miles when i got it and now its on just over 52,000 (been using it alot). First thing i did was give it a good service and a wash
Spec so far is:
-Lowered and individualised
-Metro GTa 5 spoke alloys (sprayed graphite grey)
-Cherrybomb back box
-GTi lighting interior
-GTa spoiler (sprayed satin black)
-Rev counter clocks.
Got a few more bits i want but moneys becoming an issue so leaving it as it is for a while

Here's a few pics of it from how i bought it to how it is now..

Just after i individualised it.

After the pump up, changed it a few times as it keeps settling too much but happy with how it is atm.

When the weather was nice i polished it, came up very nice!



Here's how it is now, not the best pic in the world as theres a bush in the way but will get some better ones when the weathers good.


Hope you all like it...

UPDATE

Went and bought colour coded bumpers from AzzGTa (thanks) and they make the car look so much better

Also took off my cherrybomb and fitted a sportex cat back system intead. might change back though not sure as the sportex is quite load

I have also colour coded the petrol cap which turned out good too! some pics..

Looks well good now. I reckon colour coded skirts would really suit this. And wing mirrors.

very tidy car! loads better with the colour coding and wheels.

like the number plate 'WON' gives me ideas of VVC and 1/4 mile runs should be in its future!

Thanks for all the comments! was thinking about colour coded mirrors and then spraying the sill covers and rub strips black to go with my spoiler.

Liking the comment about the number plate but can't put a bigger engine in yet because of money and can't get insured till next year at least
