I'm going to go to the next one. I currently drive a diesel Ibiza which is depressing, although I will be getting a Clio track car soon which will be my third 1*2.

Just make sure they know about the black stickers by the grill...Ryan (@hms derv destroyer) will know! Otherwise it will look like a repaired CAT C or D respray to the 'trained' eye.
