a £500 hooker? :lol:

Is it insured? if yes - how much for? Personally if I was you I'd push it off a cliff or set fire to it down the park and then call the police and say your car's been nicked :rolleyes: Then buy another car with the money - afterall your only gonna lose max 1 NCB. (or 0 if you have none)


Yes and its no brains like you that mean the rest of us shell out so much for insurance due to the false claims:|

Get another 1.2 but in for a couple hundred quid keep it until you have a bit of cash and buy something decent.......forget about bodykits they suck:thumbs:

Would a 1.2 16v not be a pain to fit in a 1.2 8v as the mounts etc, plus the 1.2 16vs have power steering(I dont kno whether this makes a difference as Im not up on engine transplants) and even though I have a 1.2 16v i do not rate them to be brutally honest (but then agen Matty I told you what cars I have owned/ driven in the past)!

keep it for 12-18months then punt and get something better..

not going to cost too much to make it look a wee good tidy car......+engine of course...

The worst thing u can do is spend a fortune on ur first car and get really attatched 2 it - I know from experience.

It makes it 10 times harder 2 part with it l8r on, like writing it off, or getting it nicked. Or like mine - rotting away 2 nothing! DOH!

If you're thinking about changing cars then you've already made your mind up to get rid.

If you get a valver, yes it would be nice but you're only 18. Stick with a smaller engined car for a while whilst you build up experience.

will, if i was to keep id put in a 1.2 8v for now...give it a body kit...lose the fuel sticker, twsit badge etc...colour code roof racks and genally smarted it up...then save up for a 2 litre conversion.

I love the GSI kits too

Engine blew on monday, had done 111k.My mates like the car, my sister does not like it.
I dont know what to do, this was my first car...im 18.If i was to keep it would have a subtle body kit on it, like a rieger and get some nice 15's, full stainless steal exhast system etc.
Wot do you think? Is it time to move on...or does she derserve a make over?
