Yeah thats a small problem then. Just save for a nice lookin Sport in a years time, keep out of trouble with the law, avoid crashing and transfer all the gear from your 1.2 to the Sport when the time comes!

Yup, i'll second that. Spent a fair bit trying to get my old 1.2 to go faster. You wont say much gains performance wise, if any! Unfortunately, most mods arent cheap. Start saving now for a Corsa Sport 1.4/1.6. Im 19 and the insurance wasnt much at all with Liverpool Victoria. Thats the hard truth! If you are still not keen on that, keep it well maintained and concentrate on styling/ICE/interior. Good tough engines that can take a lot of abuse, should see you good right past 100k miles.
