Amazing to see one of these looking so neat.
Just surprised you use the carwash.... they scratch like curse word.
I have found the handwashes that have popped up everywhere to be good and reasonable.
Look forward to updates.

I like the wheels and lowering on yours, i enjoyed the thread about the trip you did too, with all the decals on the car etc. I'm all about keeping it standard really. I love the spongy cornering and pencil thin tyres! I have had to justify the grey grille to myself as it isn't standard but makes it look more like a mk1:) i've changed the indicators from orange to clear at the front too, adventureous heh :q |

I have found the handwashes that have popped up everywhere to be good and reasonable. Look forward to updates. car belonged to a relative from new. I got it in 2007 with 31k miles on it! She'd never had a stereo/speakers in the car! It's coming up to its 50l birthday in 650 mile or so. Cost more each year to MOT than it's worth, but not to me  I cba to go any further than the wash that is opposite the house, my 19 16v had 8 hours of washing + polishing etc so i was tapped out on that side of things. Did you see the 5th Gear detailing episode where they compaired the different options? those hand wash places can be worse than a machine sometimes! |

Cool car, good little run abouts Drive thru and hand wash places will do your paintwork no favours. The drive thru puts nasty marks into your paintwork and many recyle the water, and the hand wash ones use the same water that has done 30 cars before, and you can never tell what there using! Washing it yourself is the best way. |

Liking your Uno it looks in great condition!! the bianco white suits it very italian  Don't blame you for keeping it standard tho, as good ones are rare now. Jo0lz will only pull you into the dark side!! and i don't need any more convincing lol!! You should get the bodywork polished up, and use some bumper black stuff on the bumpers, tyres, mirrors and side trim would look box fresh then!! I know it'd be a long slog, but worth it for the end result!! Ive got some 14 inch Lancia alloys for my mk1, but know what you mean i love the nimble handling with the 13 inch steelies on!! |
