Cuore 1.0 3-door from Finland

Hello world. I own Daihatsu Cuore for a week, and I should say this tiny automobile exceeds my expectations.

My car has been in a pensioner’s family, so it has a few cosmetic defects. A small dent here, a scratch there, but nothing serious. Judging by the LED lights and the F1-style paint on the tires, it looks like someone from the younger generation of previous family really wanted this car. But it just so happened that the car ended up in my hands. It’s time to give it some love.

The immediate plans include replacing the timing belt, replacing the alternator belt, changing the oil and transmission fluid, and treating the body from salt damage. I would like to install a more informative dashboard, buy new plastic lockers, and also pick up some nice wheels with the right fitment. The Chinese tires that came with the car are awful. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated and I rely on the community’s support.

welcome to the forum.
Your L251 looks great I actually love the wheels I think they suit it well. The wheels remind me of Nissan Micra wheels. I can understand about the tyre though.

Thanks! The wheels came from the previous owner. They are installed without spacers. The center bore is 54.1, as is typical for the L251. I would like bigger wheels. I like the way this car looks on 15" rims. The tires 165.65.R13 are installed.
