still gotta a year of my finance outstanding on my current car, but was thinking the best way to do is to start buying the bits now to modify the car with as soon as i get it.
The only problems with the cars that i can see is even for 6 year old example u pay £3500 -£4000!! and the engines are a little weedy.

I didnt think the stats were very good for them? Look nice though.
And the GSi is like 10 years old, so i should hope it would keep up with one

according to parkers the 1.4 16v is 10.4 0-60 and 100bhp, speed as a corsa 1.416v.
but after seeing some at a recent volksworld show its so easy making these cars look good ( without resorting to adding bodykits) just a nice set of wheels and smoothing)!

It has a hidden turbo charger. It only works if you are German though.
