dependent on the insurance hike...styling as most policies let you do what you want styling but power is normally limited in brackets...how much more power do you want to go for and what does that take you to?

But i'd always go for power...its the grin factor :evil: :evil:

I'd go for a pair of pillows and a Gold Indian tissue box for the back shelf, much better to have style imo.

if you can afford it power. remember things like insurance ect. and is your car in good nick i.e as soon as you get the extra power is the gear box going to go? the clutch on its last legs?and going to go ? ect. is it all running sweet no fault codes.
