My pug! (First car)

[philpemberton94]

Thought it was about time I posted a few pics of my car after being on here for a nearly a year!

It's nothing special but is my first car so has some sentimental value, it's a 1999 1.9td meridian in blaze yellow

This is when i first bought it totally standard in December last year....



Since then I've cleaned her up a bit and added a few mods (the previous owner didn't even recognise it last week!!)

Passenger side wing needs changing as its always had a dent in but haven't got round to replacing.

Exterior-

- Phase 3 crystals, which i then made in to black masks.
- Cyclones already in black which i still need to get round to refurbing.
- Front badge painted black.
-Compulsory no smoke, no poke sticker for the back window.
- Team Heko wind deflectors.
- Rear dewiper

Interior-
- Fli coaxial speakers front and back (will be upgrading to components soon)
- Fli twin subwoofer (not sure of model bought of my brother for 60 quid
- Pioneer headunit
- Marvel superheroes sickerbombed center console (couldn't stand the fake wood trim)
- Managed to find a original meridian 5 speed silver topped gear knob to replace the chavy all metal one that it came with.
- Autogauge 30psi boostgauge with amber backlight to match the clocks.
- A set of cheap tailored mats which cost me £14 delivered.

Engine -

- 1.9td with just over 174,000 on the clock. (had 161k when i passed my test and first started driving it in march)
- Lucas pump which has been screwed (did source a bosch pump but had some trouble witht the seller)
- Garret GT15 turbo, making a steady 20 psi
- Manual boost controller
- Standard top mount interwarmer (got a fmic set up in the garge, just need a few more pipes)
- Pipercross cone filter
- Also had a cambelt change about 10,000 miles ago
- New glow plugs 2 months ago
- Oil and filters due to be changed now
- Decat downpipe, standard center section and powerflow backbox.

Suspension and braking-

- 30mm lowering springs with standard shocks on the front.
- GTi 6 front brakes with master cylinder.
- Both front wheel bearings changed in the past 6 months.
- Standard rear beam which actually sits quite well with the front being lowered.

Looks awesome, I actually like the centre console 

[philpemberton94]

Cheers boys, I'll be honest i hated french cars with a passion and bought this because it was cheap, but its changed my views on them!
Insurance isnt to bad!
Yeah centre console was just to get rid of the wood effect and thought its something different and not too 'in your face'

[7057sam]
