Looks clean mate does it help or hinder the handling being that low?

Cheers mate, it handles good but tbh i dont really give it much stick, ive spent a lot on bits and the car itself so want to look after it, with it being french if i abuse it, it will only end up falling apart lol
Although its very low i dont get and scrubbing due to the low profile's, the exaust does catch over speed bumps though lol

Just use good quality oil and make sure its lways topped up and make sure the belts are in good order and smash on mate,

I will say mines no where near as clean as that. that does look a very smart example.

Very nice. I've driven a track prepped one on track and it's a cracking little car but I couldn't get comfy in it and it's too small for my needs, otherwise I'd love one.

Cracking little car, they make good dailys and fantastic trackday hacks, although you'd be better with a phase 1 172 for that TBH, lighter and cheaper.
