New (well to me!) Rio owner in Dublin

Hi I'm Daniel and I just bought a 2001 Rio 5-door to replace my 91 VW Polo after I blew the engine block.

First time I've owned a Kia so its all a bit new to me.

Here she is:



Thats how it was when I bought it, a bit neglected and off the road for a little while.

I'm just cleaning up the interior right now with some new seat covers and putting in a radio mp3 player as the one it had was missing the face plate.

It needs a new cv boot on the driver's side which I'm doing this week also swapping the wheels that it came on for my gold BBS RZ wheels that I had on the VW.

I'd like to fix the electric window control which does seem to work from the driver's side for the rear windows.

Future plans are to get it taxed and tested in the next month and then when the weather improves I am thinking of vinyl wrapping it to brighten it up.

I was thinking of using woodgrain vinyl to make it into a little surf wagon but since I found the the gold wheels should fit I've begun to think about maybe wrapping it Impreza blue for a cheeky mini-Subaru look.
