You lucky lucky people....

Well, sat down and thought about a new car and realised that if I am to own a new car I will have to get the finance over 5 years. 5 years is a loooong time to stick with one car, so... I will be keeping the ol' Cheekycento and I have now finally decide to do somethingn with it. The plan is to sort a loan out to:

1, Get it resprayed black

2, Sort some 14" rims out

3, Get induction kit, exhaust, cams, chip, plugs, leads, manifold etc...

4, Source a Hormann kit.

5, Smooth it totally

6, Slam it

7, Bad booooooooy it

8, sort the interior in black leather

Hopefully by next summer I will have a euro king.

Bearing in mind I probably will change my mind so dont hold me to any of this but I have seen some great euro Cinq's on the net and really want one.

Want do y'all think? :)

Matt

Erm......I would think very carefully about spending thousands of pounds on your car to make it the "king of europe"

If u go ahead and complete the list of mods, including turbocharging you will be looking at nearly £7,000 (or thereabouts)

Bear in mind you can get a Scooby, Pulsar, 20v turbo, HF Integrale for that sort of money!

And when u come to sell the modded chink you will struggle to get even 1/2 of what u actually spent!

Its entirely up to you, and I urge you to do what makes you happy......but make sure u r entirely sure before u commit to a course of action!

Keep it real, and good luck!

I fit the body kit first, then spray it black. Otherwise you'll be paying for spray jobs twice, once for the car and once for the kit. Same goes for the bad boy bonnet. get that done at the same time as the kit then spray it all in one go.

I feel a 1242 turbo coming on...

It wasnt nessecerily in that order!! :)

I know how much its going to cost, but its a damn sight cheaper than buying a corsa then doing the wheels etc... I know it'll not be worth much afterwards, but do I care? Its what I want... a mean Cinq

you cant fit an uno turbo engine without a lot of work (ie rebuilding the whole front of the car with custom engine mounts etc)


Cinq Sporting - and yes, its broom yellow!
