Also wanted to know what the benefits of oil and fuel filters are?

Is that a serious question?

Believe it or not they filter the oil and fuel :grin:

i'm serious because im only 18 so cant afford a gti or anything

My advice, don't waste your money on a 1.4 either on the engine or otherwise. You'll see no noticeable gains without spending a huge amount of money.

In terms of styling mods only do them if you are prepared to pay in the increase in insurance. Not declaring them to your insurance company will invalidate your insurance.

Depends entirely on where you go, with paint you get what you pay for so generally go with the most you can afford. I've been quoted £150 to have mine resprayed by someone that I know is good.
