suba Unregistered S	I like both of them.... but the 5 sounds better. Really depends what you want the car for - classic collector, tuning, etc... Advice on colours - just go for the one that YOU like, not what everyone else likes. For what its worth here are my favourites: Scotts Green Broom Yellow (as long as polished and not faded) Sprint Blue (as long as polished and not faded) Vinci Gray

I'm guessing they are rare in Ireland too? 16VT and X1/9 1500 We must all do our part for the planet. I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.

It feels a bit sharper at the front and it sounds like an Integrale which is no bad thing The 5 pot sounds fantastic but this makes a good noise for a 4 banger! As they are so thin on the ground it might also be worth considering one that has some minor mods, as it will be pretty easy to put them back to standard. (Unless it's bodywork then it could be expensive/time consuming to rectify)
