i know mate i love it to bits,
just cant afford the 2ltr insurance and my plans will cost me way over 4k for the car to get it featured, i want to get a feature, with this or another car by the end of 2004!
Anyone heard of blade street mods? reputation??

Yep- owned by Craig Winstone and based in Essex! Craig is a top fella!
And he's also got very good connections...so if ur looking for little bits and pieces he's pretty good at organsing sponsors etc!
Anyway.... I think u should keep ur car (nice wheels! hehe!) Don't go too much lower than £3500 tho if u do!

Yeah I agree with VenomTurbo..... do the conversion later on- I mean ur only 18 now and have 1.4 16v so it's not like u've got a particularly slow car anyways (IMO)
