Nah jake, I had it done at a place in manchester called fast and furious.. They did a mint job and everything was done professionally.. All welded n not filled with bog etc. I had silver flake put in the lacquer tho and pulled my bumper off on a speedbump so ended up havin a full respray at car auto body repair in crewe. Hes done a top job and he smoothed my new irmy rear too

polo gti's have shite gearboxes, they're weak. 1k rebuild iirc.

lupo gti is a much better car but has a premium price too.

Uv gotta b joking mate! I know that I cant expect to get anywhere near my money back on the mods but theres not a chance in hell they'd have devalued the car! Its not like its all cheap chavvy bumpers.. everything on it is top of the range!

It's an 8 year, 3 generation old corsa.

Unles you find somebody thats wanting exactly they mods(which is a possibility) it's worth at the most the same and possibly less than a standard one.
