probably £20K spent since he owned it including the car which cost about £10k brand new, probably added up all the receipts on the car including tyres, services, and other work that everybody has to maintain there car and then rounded it off to £20k, when the mods that have been done to the car probably cost about £5k.

Any car with a Nissan pulsar vent on the bonnet, should be scrapped.

Oh I modded them allright, just not stupid, pathetic, crap looking mods like the "C*NTO" in question is all.
I also don't own an Impreza anymore, good cars though till you start sticking huge wings and rally stickers all over otherwise standard road cars though.

I think you might be in the wrong place if you dont like huge wings and as for calling a guy you dont know a CXunto thats harsh

I'm just being faceatious, well a little bit, you have to admit anyone stepping out of the yellow peril in public is going to look a teensy bit stupid. Hopefully the owner is a 45 yr old accountant called Derek.

maybe he's a chav who can't spell (fairly sure the first part of that is true), and he spent 20 karrots on it- about £1.50 ?

Exhaust, £1000
Engine mods £500
Paintwork/respray £2,000
ICE £3,000
Wheels/tyres £2,000
Assorted exterior crap £1,000
Body "kit" £2,000

As it's a totally standard 3 series diesel, apart from the remap,I doubt they'd have much to laugh at they don't already know about.

I have respect for people who put tim, effect and money into their car..BUT

he deserves all the p1ss taking in the world for saying

A) PULLS MORE ATTENTION THAN ANY OTHER CAR ON THE ROAD

B) 1.2 16V (VERY FAST)

very fast!?!?! is the guy mental!?!? Even when i was 17 & i got my first car i knew that a 1.2 Punto is NOT "VERY FAST" by any stretch of the imagination!
