I actually looked at one of these for my first car. If I remember the bhp is pretty high, especially for the insurance group (5 i think?). plus u can get fog lights, and eleccy windows i beleive, etc. Plus theyre cheap as chips. So for doing up a replica im sure the fellas on here would agree (if u must) an rt is a decent standard model to work from. plus itll be fun for you to drive and insurable.
As a final piece of advice, dont spend too much on your first car unless you can really afford to, you will probably pang it here n there, n scrape a bumper or two. Besides, 3 years down the line after sitting in novas and lil pugs, I bought a mint std r5 turbo raider, whilst my mates were still sitting in their 1.2 corsa's wishing they hadnt spent £5k on bodykits and neons. good luck! the guys on here are excellent for assistance[/list]
