naw sod subtle... subtle makes u just like everyone else! i wanna go mental... however i dont see the point of going mental and spending loads of money on a 1.2 engined car, hence wanting the engine conversion above anything else! im well pissed off that its so expensive to do in a new corsa.. im gutted actually
