I'd probably colour code it, lower it a little then leave it

Why you bought a GTi if your 15?
Gunna be expensive to insure when you turn 17
My HDi was £1800, and Leeds is more of a s**t hole than Sheff

I've got to agree with Lee here, maybe a Gti wasnt the best choice of cars if your only 15, you will get raped by the insurance company's when you can insure it.
Still it does look like a nice car, but treat it right otherwise it will break.

I shall explain my logic. The plan is to buy a few cars before im 17 that need a little bit of work on them to return them to they're proper value, then sell them on once i have finished with them. At the moment im a mechanic in training with peugeot, so i thought a 206 GTi has alot of value in it, ill buy this one and sell it on for a profit later. Smashing
