Possibly the shiniest R100 in London! Had it for about 5 years now and a lot of work later here it is :) Done some one-off stuff on this car that you won't see on any other Metro \ 100 so take a good look!

Please sign the guestbook before you leave - cheers!

Hey dude, if you want to see a very fast car, check out the new mini VTEC in my garage and tell me what you think.

Nice metro man, i really like it. 2 door look great. I like the rims and the paint too. Looks very clean, keep it up.

Well with the turbo diesel engine, at idling speed, its a bit rough and vibrates abit, but while on gear and moving vibratons dissapears and runs smoother. with the petrol engine, idling was great, but when moving the gearbox had a whinning sound. The diesel has much more torque but its not faster i guess. The bumber thing, it was parked and found like that, the upper clip is broken unfortunetely.
