Other than that, good choice and welcome to scoobynet

Nice Wheels,if you want to make the car perform better,remove snorkle air duct under wing,replace filter intake with short 80mm ram pipe replace air panel filter with upgrade Green maybe,replace plugs,fuel pump,fuel reg.Underneath replace exhaust from downpipe back,leaving front down pipe cat in place,Replace first cat uppipe with straight thro unit.Fill up with Vmax run steady for couple hundred miles,you will have a good smooth set of wheels.At 99.000 miles if you push the power to 300 bhp it will probably screw engine up! Have fun

I'm not sure about the decals either, the colour doesn't suit the car (my opinion). Spoiler looks ok, but not sure on the rear lights either.
The first thing I noticed about it is that it could do with lowering.
Looks good for the price, especially with a cam-belt change

HI personally i would do to it what you like and have it the way you like it whether it goes pop or not is a unanswerable question always warm it up and cool it down and regular oil changes with good quality oil ,looks like a car from extreme sports and performance in wales ,bargoed, did you buy it off dave
