107 Track Car & C4
Re: New Car Thread
I would imagine it'll be way less than that. I was 19 with my 2.0HDI 407SW (2006), and it was something around £700 with Admiral. I'd be surprised if he pays over £1000, even with the variation in post code.
Ok I think You will be very lucky to insure that car for under 2k a year. But will be worth it

Re: New Car Thread
I concur with silver on black. Love those alloys and really like the car so IMO it will look nice

Re: New Car Thread
Too many variables to be able to compare Your Insurance costs to op. Postcode variation is huge. For me there was a difference of £690 from a Dorset postcode to a wirral Postcode. I have taught people who are 20 and they are paying £1900 for a corsa 1.2 with 3 years no claims bonus. Third party could be cheap and then there is a good option to mod the car how you like without any extra costs. But even then I would estimate at least £1600

Re: New Car Thread
Whats peoples opinions on debadging the Vectra? Seen examples of both and tbh I don't know which one I prefer. I mean it looks good but at the same time I don't want people thinking that someone has ripped it off.
I'll try and get some decent photos tomorrow, if I remember on.

Re: New Car Thread
I think Debadging is great Gives a much cleaner line to the appearance of the car

Re: New Car Thread
I had an Integra Type R at 20 for my motorway cruiser (50 a day)
oh wait...
1.8 vvt is a s**t engine tbf, you'll be lucky to get 30mpg and for what, 140bhp? I had the Z18xe in my old Astra at 17 and it was alright, pretty torquey from what I remember. Didn't really like to rev.
Always quite liked the style of the Vectra C though

If I'm honest I'm not a big fan of the debadging but that with the Sri lights makes a massive difference! You thinking of getting the Sri lip spoiler too?

On the tints too, I was unsure whether it'd be too black but I think it works...
They're not too dark, look a lot lighter in the day in fairness, I think tints, 19" snowflakes and maybe the XP kit and it'd be a lovely car!

I like that you keeping it pretty subtle and factory, looks pretty clean too. must be nice to have a motor with that much space inside!

Don't no why people find this so strange, it's a very nice car for a 20 year old, at 20 I had a tiny, slow, bad handling, uncomfortable Citroen C2.dark tints are a bit drug dealer but the new alloys look great, colour coding the chrome grill should look good too.
