Default 3 door buying question

Would you prefer to buy a 3 door cos like Pete's (stripped & caged but you can use it on the roads too) or would you rather go for a trimmed bufty type one?

Just need opinions,
Thanks people

Is this an "as your only car" type post, or as one of a fleet of cars?

what you planning on using it for?

Personally I'd go for a standard looking car and trim. Rims and a stainless are fine but that would be about it for me.

Still not 100% tbh...

There are things it needs (sell or keep) so i will do them 1st,and see how i feel after...

Then again,its a piece of metal,so i might just break it......

At the end of the day,ive hit the point where 4 walls mean more to me then 4 wheels....

SO i have to look at it like that...

But im interested what the general response is to this post,casue if need be,i will buy a trim for it,and get more for it...Simple as...

Pete..

stripped and caged

if i had a 3 door it wouldnt get driven every day, so IMO having it stripped and caged would make it more of a event driving it possibly

saying that i could'nt ruin a perfectley good one by doing that to it myself

Thats what im thinking.. I had a chat with Karl abot it,and he thinks the same,itsa shame ot do it to the car (not blowin my trumpet,but its a FUCKIN DAMN CLEAN 3dr...And i dont know if it would be better (personal and when i sell it) if it had a trim in it...

if you were keeping it i woud leave it (only seen pics but looks so and it what i would have it like)

but if you decide to sell i would have though interiour will make it more appealing

but then again the cosworth market is'nt that big (in the scheam of things, not like a stripped impreza for example is it )

so the cars going to only have a certian type of person attracted to it, and there no usally used as family cars, so thelack of seats etc may not matter, and more and more people want to do track days etc

basically i dont know whats best
