there isn't much in the performance between the 16v and Williams or so I've been told, so I'd go for the valver and as you said a little bit of money to mod with.

hmmm hard choice, was looking at that red one in the trader, looks nice imo 
Would have to get 16v in silver or blue tho.
Williams would be nice, and would proly hold value better if u get reasonable price one....
i'd be inclined to say the 16v tho make sure u don't try n buy the same on as me in a coupla weeks tho

only physical difference between the two is wheels and badges
and im planning to change wheels anyways
for the money it cost to get a reasonably gud condition williams, i could have a minter of a clio 16v

you can get valvers in williams blue , engine is a bored out valver engine, clio 16v leather interior is much nicer also

ave a look on the auto trader fella, u'll find quite a few 16v's in williams blue
end of the day id rather have a mint condition clio 16v than an average condition williams
williams is only 1.2 secs quicker to 100 also
ive got me heart set on a burgundy valver on silver/black aerospeed RS GT's so im hoping to live the dream
