Cool little car, are you going to pimp it up? biggrin.gif

Here is a picture I took of one at GTI international a few years ago wink.gif

How is it £35 a yr tax? I thought it was the same for every car in the UK and up north?

It depends on emissions after 2001, the lower the emissions the less tax you pay, the bluemotion is zero tax wink.gif

75bhp won't be bad in her, sure they are aluminium aren't they? be a lot lighter than a golf..

I like them, haven't they got a sub chassis, a big gap under the floor, supposed to be a fairly strong chassis AFAIK?

Under a ton in weight, not too sure about much else laugh.gif
A well made wee car, with bags of legroom, small boot though

Well wear, it's a cool little car.

slick looking car, i'm quite jealous!

we had one of them a few years back in silver as well, 1.4 petrol though, nice car to drive and very economical.
underbonnet space is very poor on them though, even an oil change was an ordeal!

mappable to about 100bhp so, and a fare bit more torque too.
