Fairly New C1-ness

[acra]

Hey everyone, recently registered - done a few posts, but nothing much.

Just wondered how many miles people are doing in their C1's? I got mine beginning of June, and already have done just over 10,000 miles (on a similar note, anyone know how much a service should cost?) - even though I'm only 18. I guess it's just because I love driving so much, I go out for random fun drives whenever possible!

 

I saw a Black C1 when I was over in East Sussex which had a rear spoiler, so just had to get me one as I loved the look. Sure enough, it looks pretty neat on my grey one - trouble is, now I want the front spoiler/fog kit - and that's a little more pricey.

 

Never thought I'd be into car modding, but I've found out that replacing the front speakers is fairly easy - only problem being that my existing 4"ers from my last car are too deep for the weenie hole the olds came out of; other forums suggest cutting away bits of dashboard, but I'm kinda disinclined to do that.

Anyone got any replacement suggestions? Also, anybody got the rear speaker kit - or tried doing one of their own? I'm thinking about saving up, doing a DIY rear kit (supposedly easy) and adding a mini-sub in the back too. Not sure whether to do that first or the bodywork...

 

Anyway, that's all a bit of a long post :unsure:

Wondering if anyone goes to any owners meets, and if there's any in Devon?

 

Arf, I think that's about enough now! :)

Welcome Acra.

 

The only thing I can tell you as I'm not mechanically minded, is that the first service is about £150. I would try and negoatiate with the dealer you bought it from, you might yet say 10% off if you become a regular.

 

Enjoy.

Ah, that's not too bad - I've found that if I go in with my mum, she can usually get a fair bit of discount (she's always in there with her picasso).

10,000 miles already? The value of your C1 will drop like a stone. I was quoted £172 for its first service.

I went down Southend Seafront last night and was surprised how many C1's their were driving by boy/girl racers. Some had been done up very nice as well. If I ever have the spare cash I think a Spoiler, Body Kit and Alloys would be a must.

Anyone got pics of their cars done up?

I'm hoping to keep this one for a fair while though, being a student and all :unsure:

Saving up now for the front fogs with spoiler kit, 'bout £500 - I've seen a pretty nice exhaust kit, and side-skirt kit on the market, but I don't want to loose my warranty this early on! The alloys and spoiler definately add to the car - mine's got both, on the car photos page.

Also heard about a new headlight kit, replaces the glass casing for something a little more special looking - definately worth a gander sometime, but I think it's European so would need shipping.

I doubt a 3 cylinder car will go past 100K miles so you might not be able to keep it as long as you would like. I thought Students were suppose to be broke? I'll try and find the pics now.
