This is my daily runner. It ain't too bad but could do with being a bit quicker


Got a plan though to make it look a bit prettier. Trying to source a Citroen Saxo spoiler to put on the tailgate as it's quite low key and a debadged grill. A new exhaust will be going on soon and then I promise I will leave it alone
