Na you wont have to put them on, only if you got a manx lisence, mine isnt from the DVLA you see, the manx government just makes you, if they catch you with out them is 3 points and another year extention usually.

My mate rolled his accord in TT week, hes passed 2 years, so has been off R plates for a year. He already had 9 points for various silly things, he went to court and they gave him 2 points and R plates again lol How f**k stupid is that! 11 points he is on now lol and R plates on a 2.8ltr Audi A4 Quattro, it looks well funny

Erm holes in the exhaust is a bit of a problem, Ive can only really give advise on what i have, A full stailess Magnex det cat system. Doesnt sound that boy racer, ofcourse i get a few heads turning but you should be sound with a full system. They only start getting crazy loud when you have induction & manifold.
Makes you think tho, cause you can get a GSi for less than a grand now! Needs a little TLC ofcourse but so does your car by the sounds of things. U could cut your losses, break Keo and buy a KEO GSI......
Dont even use insurance as an excuse either lol, i pay £500 Third party and im only 21 so it shouldnt be that much, and you'll have loads of fun!

Well if you do a good job stripping it, you should do ok out of it, The 1400 should be worth a fair little bit.
U know the pics of the Tigra i sent you, i sold that for £350 as it was and i kept the alloys and sold them for another £50 so it should be do able. f**k comp off, the way i think is that my car isnt worth insuring comp, cause if you bin it you'll never ever get you 2k back and if you do claim that screws your no claims 2, so you get kicked in the bollox twice, where as if your 3rd party you only get kicked in the bollox once (it just hurts a bit more lol)
Where aboots are you from? u well want a White GSi, they look the dogs nads i recon, shame mine is smoke grey tbh
