NOOOOOO lol i dont want another corsa!! it would mean buying the car first, with no money cus i am a student, then striping all my stuff, put it in ther, then put all that stuff in mine, ive just had my exhaust put on, so thats lots of money, some of my stuff is bonded on, its just not guna happen lol, plus i have put alot of money into it and loads of time cleaning it getting it perfect (imo) just guna drop a 1.4 in which will cost around 600quid then i just need to worry about insurance, which is why i want to know how much more would it be, i got a quote of 200 extra than what im paying now if i was to get a standard 1.4 will it be much more for the conversion??
