Hi - please forgive my ignorance upfront - I've been looking through topics but had no luck with answers.  Bought my Monte a couple of years back (64 plate, 1.2), mostly because of the look, the responsiveness and the 'none more black' styling. 
Unfortunately, my local area is a pothole blackspot, there are speedbumps on every other street and I'm now driving the long way everywhere just to avoid rough surfaces because the ride is SO hard! 
Is there anything I can do to improve this? Tyres? Suspension?  I don't want to have to sell her, but the firmness is shaking my teeth loose.

Sorry - should be in the MK II section
