same as mine 1200 sxi with the same gear as yours. i payed 700 and a set of wheels for it :)
all i done was service it, tidy it up abit and put the ronals on it
its got full facelift front end with irmy style splitter ,coilys, exhaust system etc. I'm not a fan of how light the steering is but you soon get used to it :roll:

that looks bang on dude, smart but not over top :) im thinkin of gettin an exhaust for mine but not too sure yet, just done little things gave it a service and de-ristricted air box, mine pull like mad to one side even tho its been tracked up apparently steering colums fault on them quite often but then again mines done 143k aswell lmao im 3rd owner and got full service history and recipts been serviced every 6months, think im just gonna maybe get a sxi+ half leather interior for it cos mine has a bit of bolster whear down to metal frame :/ and im just gonna carbon wrap my rear grab handle :)

Yep steering columns are **** and they always have play in (mine has lol) you can get repair kits for them, im sure it shouldnt pull to one side.
Looking at the pictures it looks like your running some big negative camber, if the camber is unequally set that would cause it to pull to one side

im running quite alot of camber tbh they are litterally pushed all the way back on the like elongated holes for the adjustment on the coilovers if ya get me and they look equal, but my mate i got the car off he had the same problem when he had it higher with no camber so not sure its one of them things get used to drivig it like it so not too bad but could be an issue needs looking at it did fail mot on track rods but iv done them both and had it tracked up after so im not sure tbh
