and i'm not exactly the most innocent of people but do admit it isn't a good choice having a turbo as your first car you will crash, i put money on that, if your good at driving or not, and god forbid you kill your passenger, witch i've seen a lot of round by me, like last sunday someone's passenger was killed from speeding and hitting black ice, my advice is look for a nice mk5 1.3 x-flow is going to be the best on your insurance, and you will find one it's just having to look your bollocks off and putting up with the fact you might have to travel a distance to find the car you want, then stick xr3i interior or even recaro's from the rs2000 you'll have a lot more respect for that than turning it into a fiberglass pig.

oh yea watch for the floor's on them cos they rot like fook round by the foot well at the edges of the front along the sill and by the chassi members are really common for rusting, and also the rear arches aswell
