What do you think looks the best? i cant decide?

Plus i was wondering, driving a 1.4 is slow enough so taking weight from the car has got to be a plus so im going to remove the spare tire from the boot. you have any ideas what i could uuse the space for?

iv heard people using the spare tire hole for subs etc.

get something quicker than a 1.4?

otherwise your insurance could be stupid with a 1.4 with loads of things on it.

I cant think of any cheap things to make it a lot faster, without you having to spend money upgrading the wheels/tyres, brakes, suspension, steering rack etc to be able to cope with it.

For the bumpers.... most of the back to black sprays or black trim wax bottles worked better than shoe polish on mine, the polish trickled off in the rain on my friends too.

Just keep it a 1.4 until it blows and you can affords a 1.8turbo conversion :P

As for the spare wheel, get the AA and then take it out. Thats how i roll! lol
