I think you should leave the fecker alone and just learn to drive it properly and safely until you have a number of years of claim free motoring experience under your belt and can afford a proper car with proper insurance cover - or does that sound like yer dad? Yes? Well, in that case I say go on, chav it up, put yer baseball cap on back to front, drive like a boyracing menace to society and attract the attentions of the plod. Enjoy. :lol:

u need to learn to walk before you can run....

personaly id wait a few years get some no claims under your belt
your insurance will stab you in the heart for the first year or so on a 1.0i so imagen what the premium would be on a 2.0!
