good for you mate. im also 19 and have a 99 uk turbo

think first thing you need is a new set of alloys, and then perhaps some colour coding.

pretty sure Hoskib is correct and its a MY98...a quick pic of the engine will confirm as it will be phase 2 if its a MY99 and phase 1.5 if its a MY98...easy to spot the difference.

Very nice car for someone so young, enjoy it and take your time getting used to it

It also helps when your daughter works in the Glasgow contact centre and can wangle family/staff discounts
