Swift went to the local dealer today to have the front discs and pads changed. Standard fit Galfer pads were too hard for the discs and causing loud squealing under braking. New pads are ADL Blueprint.
I have also ordered the splitters/lip spoiler as seen at the bottom of fave mods.
Bulbs have arrived, as has the Dragon Performance chip.

Here it is, the Suzuki Swift DDiS, in Pearl Black Metallic. We've been thinking of getting one for a while, particularly as my MG ZS only does about 25mpg.
Now owning a small and not very sporty car really isn't my thing, but it's only saving grace is the economy, approx 50mpg. Here are a few pictures -

I've been scouring the net for weeks and was hoping to get a black Swift, but I hadn't seen any diesels in this colour. I also thought it would be nice if I could get a car with a spoiler and some different wheels, as these are something I would want to add. A few days later I spotted the above car on AutoTrader, which bizarrely was exactly what I was looking for!
Car came with the following extras
- Roof spoiler (£180)
- 16" Modena Alloys (£400?)
- Door strips (£70)
- Mudflaps (£50)
- Swift mats (£33)
- Chrome tail pipe cover (£44)
Dealer sticker and grotty tax disc holder removed last night!
