Default 1st car (yaris)

well first off sorry its not a ford but I love them, not really gun a mod this at all but keep it nice and clean and hopefully learn about cars with it

Pics up now - post 8

Well it's a toyota yaris 1.3 vvti 5 door in black

What I've done so far.........

Oil and filter change using castrol oil
New drop links
New discs and pads
Partially debadged to clean up the rear
Front areo wipers
Some bluer/whiter bulbs
Painted the horn and bonnet catch
And spent a fortune on car cleaning kit as I'm really into detailing, got autoglym shampoo, tar remover, paint restorer, polish, tyre blackener and glass cleaner. Now it's time to learn to us them!!

Want the stuff to blacken the rubber parts and wax

Stuff to do (in no particular order)

New air filter k&n etc
Go round it again with the tar remover - DONE
New wheel as I've kerbed the old one badly!
Cleaner plates stuck not bolted on
A black grill - DONE
Maybe new headlights but I've heard you can get headlight restorer to get rid of the cloudy look???
Polish the roof (ran out of time) and inside of doors - DONE
Clean under the bonnet - STARTED
Paint the calipers and drums, silver and black respectively - DONE
Repaint the steels with winter tyres - DONE
Buy a roof rack to put the bike on
Better seat covers - snap on etc - DONE

And that's about it for now
