I would need to do something with the chrome, Remove it? paint it?
Agreed! No hot hatch should be festooned with chrome imo.Cheapest and easiest solution - in shed spirit - would be to stick some black vinyl over the chrome bits. About £10 spent on eBay and an hour with a sharp knife and a hairdryer should do the trick.
It's refreshing to see so many people state they've never heard of the car as that adds to its appeal. Being a fan of lightweight Jap cars with a bit of poke I remember trying to find one of these years ago to no avail. No surprise given the few that were made and even less so still left.
It's a cheap lightweight shed that could easily give a new Swift Sport a run for it money, and most likely the forthcoming Up Gti too.What better way to spend 600 sheets?!

Smoking 320d's at the traffic light GP in this would be a tonne of fun .
Get your smug face ready Unfortunately, you'd really have to be gunning it i reckon to keep up. I don't like admitting it but it's these bloody diesels that can be the ones that actually surprise you
Brilliant little cars, this was mine until recently now used as a 'through the lanes' commuter by a friends wife.
It's a Rallye 4 and a proper hoot. Springs have to be specially made because you can't buy them off the shelf and insurance companies aren't really sure what they are. Popular little road rally cars too.
I just found it a wee bit physically small but I've got first dibs if they ever decide to sell it again

Brilliant shed.
I sort of remember them when they were new, writer nailed it, I remember them being repulsively ugly 'back in the day' but it's fairly contemporary now, still ugly, just not shockingly so.
No idea they made a quick one, let alone an AWD one.
AWD one tested at Hot Hatch day at Rockingham circuit ( Mondeo made it in for comparison iirc )I sort of remember them when they were new, writer nailed it, I remember them being repulsively ugly 'back in the day' but it's fairly contemporary now, still ugly, just not shockingly so.
