Hello everyone!  im fairly new to this forum and havent really posted much, so I thought I'd start to change that
I'm Matt, 18, from the good old farming county Lincolnshire haha, my first car was a 1.2 clio dynamique, I had done a few bits to it, dropped it on spax suspension, 182 alloys and fitted a ktec - stealth backbox.. was all well and good until a lorry driver decided not to concentrate on the road and change lanes on a dual carraige way writing off my first car 
anyone thats interested here was the car
before :

After:

Wich to cut a long story short brought me to this forum! a couple of weeks ago I bought this 1.4 Verve... an immaculate car, inside and out, and so far I'm very pleased with it, obviously from having a 1.2 this car seems s bit more livley and doesnt take agessssss to get to 60mph haha  so far so good!
so far I have only debadged the rear and also the 'verve' badges on the sides, looks a lot cleaner , heres a pic:

I do have quite a few plans for it, because its so clean paint wise I think it would make a great base, obviously because its only a 1.4 spending money on engine mods just seems unrealistic so I will mostly be changing the extertior.. definite plans in the very near future are new alloys and suspension, I dont like riding high! 
Thanks for having a quick view! opinions on what to do would be great!

Quick update... encountered a few 'potential' problems driving home from work lastnight, stopped to put some petrol in, headed out of the petrol station and stopped at the first set of lights, waiting for a couple of minutes when all of a sudden I hear a loud noise comming from the rear of my car, look behind me in my mirror and it looked like my exhaust was chucking a little petrol out, and reved up to the red line!? so dont know what that was all about, has never happened before, oh and the button letting me see my mpg has also stopped working? :L all the other controlls on the right stalk work...except that button!
