I see modding as a hobby.

So I don't mind spending money on the car as im not into football or other similar things people spend quite a lot of money on.

As above really its a hobby even when i was 16 i had a silver and red yamaha aerox within a week i stripped it down exhaust rollers ect and even got the panels sprayed black with yellow trim bits used to get 61 (optimistic speedo) out of that beast lol its the same now just move expensive

Thanks guys. Thing is im not very competant mechanicaly nor do i have the space and time to give it a go
Theres a few bits i'd like to get done such as engine, exhaust, wheels, abit of bodywork etc.
Its never really been a hobby for me and i think the experts may see me coming ive a few idea's how id like me car to look but to be honest i don't no where to start :embarassed: or where to take it.

What are you looking to do make it faster or look better ?

[TopRaver]

I don't think i can do much to make it any faster as its the 2.0 but as far as looks its immaculatly bog standard in reflex silver.

sell it get yourself a turbo

Thanks. What do u think the chance's are trading it in againts a turbo or v5? i feel abit daft asking.
Don't think garages would go for swapping a 2.0 for a 1.8. Looks like im stuck with it as im not that confident it will sell.

All advice is much appriciated
