no vin plates, that on your car.

the 1.4 16v is a lot nicer to drive than the 1.2 16v - my brother has one.

they rev quicker and feel more responsive and and sound sick with an induction

I informed my insurance company as soon as I swapped the x14 for the x16 and my policy only went up by £30 a year. Better to be straight with them.

I told CIS that I had swapped for a 2ltr and now they refuse to insure me. Their loss I guess.
