They were great little cars, and as you have said you get a fair bit of kit for your hard earned, I've had two in the past the black one and a blue before that....

Like you said Steve, it would be a boring world if nobody modded.
I think its a fine line between subtlety and over doing it.
Your swift isn't to everyone's taste but I admire folk that spend their hard earned on their pride and joys.

For me the best mods are the ones that aren't in your face and make you have to have a second glance at a car as you walk by as you just know something is different but not quite sure what!

Although in saying that I had a few shockers when I was young. The worst probably being a Capri I had that had a full body kit including Ford Escort RS whale tail spoiler plus a couple of dozen amber lights attached right round the bottom of the body kit. It certainly was a head turner but probably to laugh although at the time I thought it was admiring glances  :laugh: :laugh:
