Advice needed...Possible car change.

[MatthewBrooks]

Well i was looking around on pistonheads today and had a thought.

I currently own a mk2 51 reg VTR and love it to bits but it aint really got much done to it, so i was wondering weither to get rid of it in november when i get two years no claims bonus and go for a smaller car thats modded to fook!

Im not sure if id miss the umph i get from my VTR but id love the looks of a really nice kitted up car. Id love to buy a kitted up VTR but insurance would be sky high so id have to opt for a 1.4 or a 1.2.

Ive seen this on pistonheads and would like something like this without all the faults with it http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/155685.htm

What are your lots opinions? what do you think i should do?

Cheers guys much appreciated!

I don't think you should mate, i'm not a big fan of that car, i think i've seen it on here a few times. I Own a fiesta but would like a VTR cheap -£2000 and i love the way the vt saxos look standard, well lowered and mint condition.

i think its a good idea mate, i would try an get a 1.4 so that the difference between that and your vtr arnt a world apart like if you get a 1.1,

Mines in good knick, its a 51 with 28k miles on it, at the moment it only has induction kit, backbox exhaust and smoked rears and its gettin lowerd sometime soon.

I think i just fancied a changed and wanted to go for a more kitted car.

i think it would be much better if you owned a modded car and were able to claim the work was done by your self. might be a little more satisfying.

The owner is on here, and is constantley making an arse of himself, Drive like a bit of a tit and it is based abroad! Well, Guernsey but its not exactley the main land.

Lol i wasnt on about his car! i just used his car as an example of what sort of car i would like.

And yeah i could claim that i did all the work myself but id find alot more pride in it if i did all the work myself but i just havent got the money!

[bullit]

just looks old now, id keep what you have

[saxo2]

id keep the sax over a highly modded car anyday,theres just too many jealous arse holes around who would damage it "just for a laugh", think of how much it would cost to repair it if it did get damaged,i.e paint,body kit & i.c.e, such a shame theres so many wanna be pikey chavs around, it wasnt like that when i was a boy...:y:

u could get a 200sx for that (it would shit on that car)

[MatthewBrooks]

I'd love a 200sx but insurance companys would shit on me lol, they would spank me good and proper.

[devilsadvocate]

I would keep the VTR if it was me. You say you wont miss the difference in power but im sure you would as i think anybody would. I cant see the advantage of putting Loads of cosmetic mods on a car. I mean when you see a highly kitted car do you think 'Wow hes cool' or do you think 'What a nob'. At least with performance you are getting something out of it. just my opinion.

[willsy]

If it was me id keep the VTR to have one in good condition with that low milage id definately keep it.

Get a quote with someone like Quinn Direct for insurance as i believe they dont charge any extra for alot of cosmetic mods which you've looked at
