I'm 17, and this is my first car I've ever owned, I picked it up around 2 months ago, literally a few days after passing my driving test. Loving it so far, already done 1,700 miles and comfortably reached 125 mph as my top speed on the motorway.
Brought it for £1,750 with 75,000 on the clock; however there were a few problems the car: the left passenger electric window and speaker weren't functioning, original SEAT radio wasn't working and also the rear drivers side passenger door wasn't able to open. Also the vehicle had a few scratches to the body work.
First thing I set out to do was fix all the problems with the car; the window, door and speaker were fixed almost instantly. Then within a few days I purchased a brand new Kenwood radio, replacing the existing one which wasn't functioning.
Few weeks later decided to purchase some FOX Racing 15" alloys.
Now I've saved up a bit more, I've decided to replace the leather gaiter around the gear stick/knob as it was tatty and worn. Also painting the brake callipers - red of course and also booked it in for it to be tinted, however not sure whether to go for 15% or 5% tint yet.
Pictures to follow later this week, with the next improvements.
Any other suggestions for how to improve my first car?
