I have owned my Charade for three years, and apart from a few problems such as the head gasket blowing it has been fine.
The Charade isn't a bad looking car to start off with but the shape is starting to look a bit dated, because of
this i decided to start modifying my charade, the first thing i done was to fit a Celica GT40 bonnet vent to it and modify
Vauxhall Nova sideskirts (Novadose) to fit the the car, it was then resprayed and all rust was removed as well
as the bump strips being colour coded. After this i fitted Apex springs and KYB shocks which lowered it by 40 mm and then
i fitted new wheels 16" Wheel Mania RVR II.
Other modifications include le mans dump valve, scorpion full stainless steel exhaust and HKS air filter.
After fitting the HKS filter i took off the dump valve as you can now hear the wastegate dumping the air and sounds a lot
better than a dump valve.
