Got it for £800 in April this year, passed test in May, 1.2SX in Metallic Blue.
How i got it.
Then early July this happened.
Freelander reversed into me in Mcdonalds car park. Got a bonnet and bumper of another forum for £60 then got them resprayed awhile after. Inbetween i went to MITCar as part of FiatForum.
Car looks a mess there, not long had the bonnet changed.
Got the front end repsrayed bought a new grill for £20 with a newer style Fiat badge.
Day i got it back from the bodyshop.^
There it is, for a first car im happy with it.

I really like these and was considering one as my first car, but only ones I could find for sale were complete dogs 
or HGT egined ones, and insurance wasnt too friendly 
In the end, bought a MG ZR which is a lot more common than the bravo, still don't know which I prefer as the Bravo can look fantastic with a few mods. Shame about your wee knock!

Yea there isnt many of the smaller engine models going around for not alot of money. or HGT egined ones, and insurance wasnt too friendly In the end, bought a MG ZR which is a lot more common than the bravo, still don't know which I prefer as the Bravo can look fantastic with a few mods.

I havent seen many other Bravos since ive been driving, see a few Brava though. I agree, with a subtle body kit and some nice alloys they look much better than Corsas/ Fiestas. Yea it was quite annoying, he claimed he couldnt see my headlights, they were on and there was lamp posts, o well, its all been sorted out, non fault and his insurance paid out £800.
Was going to make a new thread but remembered I made this one quite awhile ago so will just update it.
Nothing much has happened to it but nice to keep track of it all. Plans are when money alloys to get some HGT or HLX allys and a HLX boot lid with spoiler, aswell as some Marea Poly headlights, that should be it really. IMO thats all these cars need.
Testing out our new camera in the summer.
Having a try with tiltshift.
Few beading shots.
How it looks now, rather in need of a clean.

A new rear plate to match the front? In what sense mate?
The font used is slightly different. It's inconsistency like that that bugs me about Rowan Atkinson's McLaren F1.It's not a slur on him or his car though.

I cant see any maker markings or marks of production or anything on his front plate so I believe it is techniqually a show plate and should not be on there? Correct me if im wrong........
On my front plate? There is maker markings. Can see them on the picture of when I got it back from the bodyshop.Gassing Station | Readers' Cars | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
