Jemz's Build Thread!!

Soooo here we go then!

Ive had my Jazz for about 5 years, she was brought for me by my dad who had already picked out a nice 1.2 that he had seen advertised but I somehow ended up havng a 1.4 instead. As I lost my dad a couple of years ago my Jazz now has huge sentimental value (don't ever intend on selling her....ever). He loved these cars and always went on about how reliable and economic they are etc etc....so thats how I ended up with her! We have only just started doing a few bits and pieces to her in that last year or so.......
First changes were a shiney Richbrook touring gear knob......

and a bit of sticker bombing on the inside (I do love my stickers as I'm sure you will see lol)

With that done on the inside and the addition of a few stickers on the outside she pretty much looked like this....oh and we got rid of the rear wiper too.....

Then it was time too add some colour!! The wheels were masked off and rims were spray painted which turned out really well imo (and the calipers were painted black to freshen them up) -

Im loving how she sounds now and can't help putting my foot down a bit every time I go out in her As my other half says "can't believe how throaty it sounds for a 1.4"
She feels even more lovely to drive now too

I like the sticker bomb on the valve cover.
But I have to point out one thing though, your rear tow hook is installed upside down.

When you did your steering wheel did you have to disassemble it or did you just do some fine trimming around the edges?

Really? That's weird. Maybe because you have a different bumper there in the UK.
