Hi all,

I posted a couple of weeks ago after some scum and low life Key'd my pink pug Sad and I am now faced with a major decision... What do I do with her?

She is sprayed Raspberry candy and she's an X reg 1.9D.. Yes I know I've been told its a waste of time on an old 1.9 but the paint job was free lol. She was my pride and joy but things happen and I can't afford to repair her Sad

She has;

Tinted windows
Colour coded bump strips
Sports Bumpers Front/Back
Cystal Foglight
Front fog lights
Rear lexus lights
GTI half leather interior
GTI door cards
GTI gear knob
GTI Steering wheel
GTI spoiler
Arch extentions

And so much more... So my question is... what do I do with her? I don't think she's worth selling, I'm going to sell all my removable bits interior ect but I don'e know what to do with the rest of her? I can scrap her which is a pretty final decision.

I can break her because I know folk are always looking for bits but then I don't know the values of things

Or the very last option... I can race her. I drive bangers and I have been given special permission to race her next month and give her a final send of but I don't know if I can do it to her or if it'll upset me too much Sad

What do you guys think??

Also just a wee plug... I'm a model and in a comp Clicky Here if you want to vote for me

Heavy hearted
Lei Sad x x x

The real kick in the teeth is my boyfriend is a highly trained mechanic!! but he just kept putting it of...

She needs MOT, TAX, exhaust fixed, breaks all replaced... I have no idea what else

Race it. You'll be stripping most of it anyway to prep for the race so thats a bit of money from breaking, then once it's been converted to a crumpled heap, get what you can out of it and scrap the rest. It's win win.
Get it down Warton raceway for civil war next year. North need a few small tins.
