I have been the proud owner of a J Reg 1992 Seat Ibiza MK1 903cc for 3 months now and I am very happy!

The car arrived to me with about 27,800 miles on the clock, full service history, 2 owners (a couple) and a recently passed M.O.T. The car is mint inside like brand new, outside is very good, no rust just the odd scratch and dent, quite impressive.
Just didn't like the wheels, rubbish hub caps with paint and other crap on em, soon sorted that out though!
Added a set of MOMO alloys which are a bit scuffed but still very nice and they suit the retro feel of the car, added that with some fat tyres very pleased with the outcome.
Not shown on the slideshow is a custom made Powerflow exaust and back box which I have had fitted, I will add pictures very soon. It produces a nice sound Old exaust went so I thought what the heck!
Highlights of the car so far;
-- The feeling of driving a go kart after learning to drive in a Y Reg Ford Fiesta which felt like a tank after hehe. (Passed first time )
-- Doing 170miles on £20! That's even before the needle reached the danger zone. (Thirsty on oil mind)
-- People looking at me car and not knowing what the heck it is, nice to have something a bit different
-- My mates not knowing what the heck I am doing when pulling out a piece of plastic from under the steering wheel (the choke)
--It's nippy for a 903cc, light and its surprisingly quite roomy (5 door, back seats fold as well)
One problem at the minute is when I add weight or when have people in the back (just 1 even) the back tyres rub / catch the arches which is a bit annoying. Not sure if to tinker which the suspension (new buffer? / cheaper) or just get two slighly smaller back tyres (more expensive)
And I suppose a bit more power would be nice
Always looking to add something to it just small sophisticated bits mainly nothing mad that would make the car look daft or make me poorer than I already am.
I am looking into these two items at the moment, any advice would be appreciated;

Seems a bit expensive, how do I go about smoking my own lights?

Not sure for £37 this is really worth it for my car seeing as it only has a small engine I am quite limited.
Thanks for reading, any feedback =
Cheers.
