Thats true, rather then spending that on styling, get a 206 with a larger engine and spend it on bigger insurance?, you will benefit from that more. The 1.4 is better then the 1.1

I agree with the rest, get a newer car and keep it for a solid few years, as I'm 21 in my 2nd yr of driving with 1 NCB and my insurance is 2k TF&T with a few mods, it is not worth wasting all that money on mods for an all-ready-expensive-insurance to get even higher!

no point spending so much on your first car, may aswell just drive it for a few years, then spend that money on a better car once you learned how to drive more

£7k on styling but don't wanna spend it all for the sake of it - not looking for anything over the top, just want a debadge, debumpstrip with a smoke finish, lowered just a little with 20 spoke 17"
hope this makes sense ha |
& a new MA gearbox
17" on a 1.1, it would be quicker walking which you will be doing when they shag the gearbox
18 & just passed your test, bend over then as your insurance company would like to give you & your wallet a good seeing to
Build your no claims bonus up then buy a better car to ruin

You wouldn't want a 206 1.1 it is too underpowered and I know from experience, you would find them for sale around £500 and why spend 5x-6x more on styling than the car itself.

what about buying a 1.1 not spend much on it, keep it for a year then buy and modify a bigger 206 when your insurance is alot cheaper
