Body Kit HELP

[Hang_Sandwich]

That's your opinion. At least tornado is honest that he just wanted a good looking car. Not everyone who modifies their car wants balls-out speed. Some just want something that looks good. So many lads my age are driving around in 1 litre corsas, going on about power and what they've done it when the fact is, they just want a good looking car. Otherwise they're fooling no one.

Yeah i said that from the start that it was my opinion, thats what i was doing expressing my opinion. fact was i said its a waste of money doing up such cars (learned from experience on this one) he said he couldn't afford to insure anything else - which when you consider the cost of the work done - just isn't true. Now i don't have a problem with fellas going off doing up their car thats their money but unless it can back it up with power then i will laugh at them. no point on have twin 5" exhausts or some shit if you car is putting out 70bhp.

Car looks great, how much did ya put into doing it up?

Why not? If it's purely for aesthetics and who ever has it done is honest about it, like, what's the problem?

I'm fully aware of that - thanks - still 17" momos and sparco seats and that paint job, and kit must have been a daycent bit of money circa 3k anyway minimum - say for a better car 1.5 k difference in insurance in the first year sliding down - and more fun than a 1.2

And at 18 years of age, what would the insurance company let him insure?

A 1.6 Honda Civic? Brilliant. I'd rather a sweet lookin' Clio than a standerd Civic.

Sure you're 26 and only driving a N/A 2.0lt.

Pffff. Mockery.

the list for me of old desired cars is seriously long - xr3i for example which wasn't even that quick and is a bucket of shit, the old crx (not the gay del sols) gsi and gte novas and astras, old old kadett sri's twin cam corolla gtis (not the coupes although i wanted one of them too) god the list is shameful

looks pretty nice, are you going to replace it or stick with the expense free driving?

Astra F GSi Turbo on the way for me at the weekend from London.

Sold my e30 325i Sport a few weeks back. Toyed with an e36 325i for a while but gone for the Astra instead! 250 bhp with 290 lb.ft on the rollers!

Can't wait!

i'm collecting this 2m....

some will argue its a bit womany but its diesel which i wanted

straight in for a stronger clutch and a remap though and you'll have some usable power, well wear hope the car works well for you.

you could always do it up like a DTM

 

[Hang_Sandwich]

tis semi a/t tiptronic so the clutch shouldnt much of a problem i hope... the only i'll do it change the wheels for 17s or 18s when the current tyres wear down, maybe a light window tint, thats it though. i need a diesel so i was glad to find this...but thanks for the good wishes!

The clutch would be fine but if you got it remapped you can increase power and torque massively on diesels - 150bhp golf to ~220 then you need to replace the clutch.
