Toddzilla Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Hello all! Im new to the forum and I've just bought my first car It's a 1.4S T reg but only has 70k on the clock and 8 stamps in the service book. It'll be a short while before any major mods take place i.e coilovers and wheels etc. as I'm in the middle of moving house, but here she is!All I've done so far is give her a clean and took the badges off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skezza Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) I have no idea what that means You know what a Barry Boy is surely? Typical example:Tips for being a good Barry Boy:Endeavour to add pointless visual mods that improve absolutely nothing on the car with regards to performance or handling. A large exhaust (multiple cans if possible), a poorly fitted bodykit and a set of poorly designed Multifit Alloys will get you going.Don't declare any of your modifications as that would drastically increase the price of your insurance. Cheap tacky **** from eBay, Poundland and Home Bargains can really speed up the Barrification process!! I'm talking blue LED's on the front windscreen washers, chrome radio antenna's and large tail pipe trims resembling a Heinz Baked Bean tin. Stickers are ok too. But make sure they are tasteless. The last thing you want is a sticker representing a purpose, such as charity... you want stickers of crude phrases and stickmen in implied sexual positions.Why not add a couple of audible mods too? A 'Universal Induction Kit' from Halfords can have your 1 litre beast sounding just like a Ferrari Enzo!Never know when to quit. If it looks ****, then keep going, it's not finished yet. It'll eventually look good... right? (see above)If it doesn't impress the local jail bait trash at McDonalds, then it ain't a Barry car. Sorry.
