Why xev out of interest?
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

just because redtops are too common, so want something different really, and there easier to get in than a redtop too

Well this debatable tbh there's plenty of conversion kits for both and personally think a xe is easier to install especially on the wiring side

The xe is also a far better engine, there more powerful and alot more tunable

Saying all that I prefer an exv :lol:

Right, so got my arches off yesterday, to start on the colour coding and getting my GSi bumper ready for when my grille and splitter arrives for it to go on!

now u know the clips have snapped on a few so was gonna tiger seal them on but can't find any halfords that sell the stuff so where would be the best place and I need it asap as my only day off work is Sunday and Monday but I wanted to crack on with the colour coding on the rear bumper straight away, I'll get some pictures up my rear arches tonight when I get home and show you all my first attempt at spraying them and even my stepdad said I've done a good job and he's a professional at it :lol:

So after a lot of ummm'in & ahhh'in, I'm looking at potentially what could be my new car, it's german, it's a saloon it has 4 doors, it's red and it's a 1.9 can anyone guess what it is?

only reason is due to wanting something bigger and more power too, something different from my area has I'm seeing a lot of people copy my style now and it's bloody annoying me :(
