A wolf in sheeps clothing!

Nice cars, although I'd prefer the Cupra on looks - but they're all the same when your sat inside!

You going to leave it alone or is it going to be 'Chetted' ? Wink

It will mostly be her car so i think the only modification that will be done is hanging her halfords air freshner in it!

Cupra is ncer but as you say its a wolf in sheeps clothing, it was here 3 weeks before i even took a second look at it!

it was a 54 plate and it was a few months old, he was caning it somethign else. Like I said it pulled away easily below a ton but after that i was on him then past him.

I waved at his mrs as I passed, she smiled he wasn't happy! lol

clipped the limiter twice in 5th that day.

Why not get a 1.6 badge?

My 2.0 16v badge was £4 from Seat, can't see the 1.6 badge being any more!
