I'm think about changing mine.
I have about 10k to spend realisticly, but insurance is a bit issue as i'm only 18 at the mo ( i will be 19 when i come to buy it )
What do you reccomend?

seat ibiza cupra 20VT
can pick x-y plate ones up from around £7k, grp 15 ins (im 19, no ncb, £1400tpft)
respond very well to chipping, most take them to about 210bhp, 240lb ft torque
VAG build quality and an interior to die for

I'm thinking of a brand new Mini cooper, i like BMW's and would really like a 318 convertible.
Apart from that i really don't know, i would like something quite sporty, but can't think of whats around

I personally like your Corsa C, just needs a bigger engine.
Thing is - most cars you'll look at have probably been modded to death already.
