Been on PH for a while now done quite a few meets run's breakfast clubs etc, pic below,It is standard apart from a Milltek exhaust will be having some engine work done soon (hopefully if funds allow) plan is to keep it standard looking just upgrade engine brakes etc.The little 16v engine is quite a tuneable lump, remap 140hp have been looking at a stroker kit to 1800cc with remap gives about 190hp, bit expensive though will just have a remap and brake upgrade for now would like to hear your comments thanks

Please note these pics were taken after I'd just cleaned her

You take your number plates off when you clean the car! Now that is OCD!!
For some reason I like the looks of Sporty C2s. They just look edgy.

Having followed this car on a run around most of South and Central Waes, I can attest to the fact that it does not lack pace, even in standard trim.

Happy days matehehe remember that run well quick pic

Sometimes suprises even me how well it copes with much faster cars on runs etc good example was the Bristol Tunnel run 16th May was in a mini convoy with,V8Vantage,Ferrari 348,Ultima GTR and Mazda RX8 another quick pic ahh happy days

Hope to see you soon cheersbyebye

Nice car danny, although I am slightly biased as my one is the same colour too. I think these are a bit underated and never get included in warm hatch group tests in car mags perhaps because they have been around a while now? I have found mine is good for a little troy queef lift off OS action too. driving 140 bhp tho? From just a remap? Sounds good.

Love my little C2, they are great fun for chucking around the corners, have been looking at getting mine remapped soon but as it's the diesel it can be taken up to around 150bhp biggrin only problem is the clutch is a little delicate.

Did a quick detail on the car this morn (finally got a sunny sundayhehe)some pics




sorry theres no before pics (forgot) anyway first I gave the car a full wash over with Nielsen's TFR and wash/wax was then dried of. The whole car was then clayed and machine polished with Neilsen's liquid gold polish.the wheels were then treated with 3m's finesse it and cut back with liquid gold ,the tyres and plastics were then dressed with my secret longlife dressing and finally the exhaust was treated with metal polish and liqiud gold still a few scratches to get off but overall looking good, only took 3hrs!!!!!
