It's great to see something other than the Golf, 205, etc. getting some appreciation, and it sounds like it will be a hoot to drive.
It will only end up getting expensive if you let it, but given what you have done to your MR it looks like expense may be on the cards!

Have you looked into some small lithium battery? I cannot stop myself from thinking the weight saving would be significant on such a small car, it would complete the rally look and a pretty small battery should manage to crank just fine?

A Metro! Wow, that’s about the last thing I’d have expected!
I learnt to drive in my mums metros and have many great memories of them. Dodgy escapades, near misses and just general young driver shenanigans Perhaps the only ‘downside’ of buying this one is that you’ll miss out on the full metro experience by not having one that shakes violently as it hits top speed (104mph indicated iirc)

Thats cool. Like many on here,growing up with 80s cars, still have a passion for them.......so many good cars back then,just too expensive for me and my mates ,we couldn't afford the Gti golfs or Astra gte's when they were new/relatively new,so we had 1.2 Novas/1.0 Metros,etc then mid spec 2.0 Cavaliers(mk.3) and Sierras,when we really wanted the Cavalier Turbo or Sierra Cosworth,lolBeedub wrote: ↑Mon Feb 06, 2023 8:24 am thanks craig!

Lol.... My guilty please is 80s/90s hatches... Its just my era and simply adore that genre of hatch. This is as mad as a box of frogs. Really enjoying taking it to the next level it's been really loved. Quite simply I've fell head over heals in lovebeanie wrote: ↑Tue Feb 07, 2023 12:01 am A Metro!

I NEED YOUR HELP PLEASE GUYS.... The GTi is having its wheels refinished and I'd love to get all your thoughts on a colour for the wheels ??? Hit me up in the comments with your thoughts . Here's mine 2p worth , definitely not black , utterly played out and boring ... So it's either a high gloss silver , gold or white . I think a brilliant white would look pretty special on this but look forward to hearing some ideas. Really looking for classy but abit of wow factor if possible.

Daisy’s running the same wheels in gloss white, as below. Not a huge lover of gold wheels but I think the colour of Toby is ideal for gold wheels

As I said not struck on gold but this made me change my mind, pretty similar colour to yours.Beedub wrote: ↑Tue Feb 07, 2023 1:16 pmIt could really work ..... So torn.

I really like light anthracite but on that car don’t know if you’d “lose” some of the wheel and definition. I think the wheels being so small is part of the issue. IMO has to be bright like white/silver/gold

Gold might work well,but my choice would be Silver. Not super high gloss though, maybe just fresher and a bit brighter than standard.Beedub wrote: ↑Tue Feb 07, 2023 12:02 pm I NEED YOUR HELP PLEASE GUYS....

Minilites (or minilite replicas)? They always seem to suit any old British cars, especially in matt white!
I've been looking at old Metros on AT today thanks to you, pal!
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.
F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!
