If the car has an AEX engine i.e MPI then it will still be more lively then the SPI 1.8 anyway.

i have no idea im pretty new to owning a car, i dont even have my license yet lol
thing thats putting me off my golf is the amount of money itll cost me to get it looking how i want it to, color coded bumpers, lowered on collies

it also has the worst interior ive ever seen, pure grey and granda spec, also theres a loud whining noise coming from near the water pump and i have no idea what it could be :)

When i was 19, my first car was a 1.8 driver, 800 for the year.
It was written off after a month.....this is why we pay a sh!t load lol

haha duly noted!

i think im going to put money into it, fu*k it its my first car

slam it on collies, nice set of alloys, seat covers till i get a new interior, color code the bumpers, keep the bump strips black.
