Been thinking about this recently, i know i've just spent all this money on getting my new let engine and fittting..... But think i want a newer more practical car, something like an astra coupe, clio sport or something along those lines 
Spec:-

Satin black painted front grill, satin black morrettes with cold air feeds, Storm single wiper, debadged, bodycoloured handles and bumpstrips, window tinting, semi smoothed boot

Front ARB removed. TAS Motorsport billet alloy eccenticated specrical bearing topmounts. Polly bushes with re-coated wishbones and tie rods.
Rear:-
Spax RSX 28pt adjustable short dampers with Spax RSX uprated road springs (lowered approx 60mm). Std ARB present and rubber bushes.
Engine
Fully rebuilt C20LET with recon turbo which have both done 4k max!!! Engine was built by M & D developments. Standard F20 5 speed box. Cossvaux driveshafts and hubs. Recently built custom exhaust system by P.D Gough Exhausts (2.25" bore/3 silencer/ high grade stainless/ Brand new 2.5" single back box

Full Richbrook accessorized interior (gaiters, knobs, tax disc, handles etc).
Selective colour-coding on various interior parts (Arden Blue). Cobra Suzuka GT (composite/fixed back/FIA approxed) bucket seats with Sparco Sidemounts. Sabelt racing harnesses - 3pt passenger/ 4pt driver (FIA approved/3" webbing/aircraft buckle/non-street legal) with Harry Hockley shell reinforced eye-bolt fixings.

Alipine 7998R component head unit (fold-out, 1.5 DIN in size and pre-out only)
2 x Alpine 12" type R woofers, each in 0.8 cube sealed boxes
2 x Alpine MRD M500 mono amplifiers (each giving approx 400wrms to each Type R woofer) - these have hit approx 143dB in the last sound-off I entered.
1 x Alpine T420 2 channel amplifier driving Infinity Reference 17cm components upfront, custom kick-pannel mounted tweeters.
Panasonic stand-alone DVD player, professionally mounted in glovebox to give 'factory' look.
Alpine TV tuner.
Since i owned the car it has had a semi smooth boot (welded not full of filler) and a new back box which was fitted on the 24th of august.
This is a very clean car, clean twice a week and always garaged.The bonnet does have some stone chips but a apart from that bodywork is very clean and shiney .
Let me know what you think it's worth
Thanks Chris

If you only just picked it up Monday why have you only just realised you want a practical car?! Surely you would have been better off not getting the LET put in and selling your car before spending any more ££ on it that in theory has just gone down the drain? 
I reckon, you'll get itro £3-4k if your lucky. But that's my *estimate*
