modding a car adds litle or no value to it, so a few years down the line and youve just wasted that money.
You'd be best just buying a better car or just not get into debt in the first place.

Why did u buy a winter car?
You own a Corsa!!! Y drive around in a rubbish car over winter, its not as if it a collectors item.
I really dont see why people get winter cars or change there wheels at winter!
Its a CAR, it is used to get from A-B so use if for that not sat in the garage!

If you want it, then do it. Thousands of people get a loan to buy a new car, knowing full well as soon as they buy it, they've lost about 20% of the car's initial value.
£3k over 12 months isn't a great deal anyway, and you'll pay piss all (bout £100) extra back on it in interest.
Don't think i'd do it myself like, but if it makes you happy, go for it  .

It amazes me when people that own a corsa buy a "runaround car"

Maybe because we have spent £000's on making them pristine and don't want to have to spend another few £000's on making it pristine every 6 months.

Id rather that than spend £000's on a car I dont enjoy driving round
+ 2x tax
+ 2x mot
+ 2x insurance
+ 2x repairs

LOL, by the time you have brought the 2nd car, insured it, taxed it, MOTed it you are running into alot lof money!
I drive my corsa everyday and at the end of the day its a car and it can be repaired or a respray for stone chips!

ive bought a second car ( winter ) as i live out in the country down a narrow lane which in the winter gets very muddy and mucky, has a few pot holes here and there which dont get filled until spring summer by the council. And to do the run back and to to work in
my corsa is now garaged at my grandparents house in where im gona tidy it up, mod and put a xe in to it.
I would love to use my car every day and not have to buy another car but if i want to keep my corsa in decent nick i had to get another car and until i move away from home i will probs run 2 cars.
though i am still weighing up the decision as it has advantages and dissadvantages.
