I got around to fitting my alloys last weekend, and I must say the car looks a lot better with them on.

A picture:

Alloy Wheel

.. this is with them off, and taken in the basement in bad light.

The car needs to be lowered a bit now, as it looks too high. There are a few other small bits I would like to do aswell, mainly some of the following:

• colour coding;
• bulb replacement;
• clear side repeaters;
• new radio antenna;
• remove the ambition “badges” from the sides? ..unique left on?;
• full exhaust system;
• pedal covers;
• electric rear windows (currently handles, only front are electric);
• painted brake calipers;
• clean engine bay;
• sill guards;
• re-wire alarm to lights and horn, and lower sensitivity slightly;
• clean underneath, from any prospective rust etc etc;
• swap the wipers;
• bodge rear wiper motor to sit horizontal, not vertical, at end of cycle (or replace, or remove);
• change interior bulb colours;
• gear knob and handbrake cover;
• window tinting;
• de-locking;
• .. and more! (Performance upgrades and such, eventually).

I have ambition (get it?) but no idea where to start and what to do. I may not even start this year due to work and college commitments! Just imagine if I had a girlfriend, there would be no time for a cup of tea.

If anyone’s out there that does know how to ‘mod’ a car, or has an Almera themselves, shout in the comments and I’ll bug you for days about it.
