Just been offered a straight swap (Ignis Sport content)

[Hazza]

My mate who also owns a Ignis Sport needs to sell his car to make way for a larger 4 door car, as his wife is expecting.

He doesn't want to sell his mods separately, so was planning on part exchanging the car with the mods still on the car. Just chatted to him, and he has offered to swap my red Ignis Sport for his yellow Ignis Sport.

His is a 53 plate, 42,000 miles, Yellow, Induction kit, Suzuki air box, Gaz coil overs, stainless steel exhaust, strut brace, suzuki sport alloy pedals, suzuki sport gear knob and 16 inch rotas.

And mine is 04 plate, 40900 miles, Red, Induction kit.

He's offering me a straight swap, however, i am tempted, but can't bring myself to having a yellow car, i've never liked yellow cars, and i love my red one! What do u guys think??

His

Mine

I'm more inclined to reject the offer, and save for a set of coilies or lowering springs if i'm desparate..

 

[Jamie]

If you don't like the colour it's pretty simple.

Just swap all the mods over and give him the required cash IF you want those mods.

 

[Feirny]

Your wheels on his would look good, I'd do it. Then again I like yellow cars.

 

[Aluco]

Looks like sick.

 

[Mr Burns]

What Jamie said, give him some cash for the mods. Yours looks loads better!

 

[AK]

There as gay as anyway... without being yellow...IMO

 

[H12EAY]

I love yellow so i would do it, plus the mods on his seem decent. Would he not just give you the car for a day and swap all the bits over and give him abit of cash?

The only mods that i would take off him would be the coilovers and the strut brace maybe.. the others i'm not fussed about.

He wants my car to part ex rather than his is because mine is newer, and will get more money for it. TBH i don't think he will get a lot more. Right?

 

[Mr Burns]

Correct, buy his coilovers and be done with it!

 

[.GAZ.]

Keep your car, its newer and on less miles!

Looks better too!

 

[Goodj]

take his, give it a full rally livery

 

[jesus]

If you don't like it, don't do it.

 

[Addz]

I quite like it in yellow TBH

 

[Kneel]

Keep yours, the difference on trade in would be about a pint tbh. So offer him a pint for the coilies and you'll swap them over before he trades it in.

 

[Fred@BTM]

his wheels on your car would look mint

 

[Hazza]

I don't think i would be able to keep affording tyres for 16s!!!

Do u remember driving along side me now? lol

 

[Daniel]

I despise yellow cars, think they look complete bobbins.

BUT!! I actually quite like that one! Looks quite nice.

 

[Curtis!]

I really like both of them lol. The white wheels look ace though.

No chance of you picking afew bits, swapping them with your standard parts?

 

[Magic Johnson]

Crazy colour to match your crazy hair Hazza. GO FER IT!

 

[Peperami]

Suzuki air box, Gaz coil overs, stainless steel exhaust, strut brace, suzuki sport alloy pedals, suzuki sport gear knob and 16 inch rotas.

Ask to swap these bits, do the work and take 100 quid for his troubles. He gets standard parts out of it, you get the mods that he'll get no extra for, everyones a winner.

The wheels would look AWESOME on yours (in dark grey again possibly... ), plus has a much better stance to it.

 

[Gaz.]

I'd just swap the mods.

 

[MikeB]

I quite like the yellow one.

 

[Peperami]

I'd just swap the mods.

Indeed. Seems really odd exchanging an entire car when you could do the mods over in... half a day.

Sure there isnt something up with his one?

 

[H12EAY]

Yeah id get his wheels too mate

 

[Guppy]

I like the yellow one!

 

[Vish]

Sure there isnt something up with his one?

What I was thinking.

TBH I think his looks quite good but unless you 100% trust him and that it's as well kept as yours, I'd be a bit iffy about swapping and go for all his mods instead.

Think white wheels would look good on yours, esp on coilies.

 

[Englebert]

Its hard to like them, but the yellow one looks better IMO.

 

[Graham Gooch]

yellow is much better.

 

[coxy777]

I'd be wanting to swap the mods, but in reality he'll want too much doing it that way.

So then I'd think about how it's been driven and if it's in generally the same condition. If so I'd swap, 53 vs 04 and 2k miles in it? Lol price will be the same!

 

[AhmedRSi]

Swap the mods.

 

[joebristolgym]

I prefer the yellow one - it looks less like postman pat's van in that colour.

Also think the wheels on the yellow one look better - gives the car a better 'stance'.

Yeah, the wheels on the yellow one are wider, whereas the one on mine (standard ones) are thin.

 

[Sir_Dave]

Id swop for the yellow one tbh.

Neither car is a looker, at all. So the modifications would enhance the drive & sell it to me.

That & the fact that the parts are worth a good grand i assume, so if you dont like them, sell them, put back to standard & be quids in.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner imho.

 

[Sarah]

get the yellow one but with ur wheels

I love yellow cars

 

[fUbAr]

Yeah I would do it, looks smart the yellow one. The wheels on the red one are a joke!? Are they 5" wide?

 

[Christopher]

The yellow version is actually much better!

 

[ForceIndia]

Great 'fun' little cars, but hideous looking. I'd go for the yellow one on spec! Then probably get the wheels done anthracite/black.

 

[Ali]

An Ignis is a horrible looking thing at the best of times...But a yellow one...Deary me.

 

[Gally]

No way would I be swapping! You're not imo exactly winning out of it.

Yours is lovely.

Grey on red looks fantastic.

Exactly. Can't polish a turd, so go for the better equipped turd.
