for exterior... i dont think there is anything wrong with stock one as it comes with body kit 18 inch wheels etc, though i may buy a vxr spoiler.

and for the engine i may leave it standard.. or just get like a performance air filter and like indution kit...

Spoiles you gotta get! The style it gives is worth every pound. You could go for engine tuning, a chip will increase your horsepower and torque, also big exhaust for that extra beefy roar and style to the rear. You could always look around for body kits because so many.

For my first car Im getting a...

Vauxhall Astra Sri

1.8
3 door
2006 model.

And Im going to absolutely rag it!

lol I have a black cdti turbo diesel astra. Off the mark it wouldn't be too far behind an sri... bucket loads of torque and a pretty narrow power band means lots of gear changing but it's a laugh to drive. Biggest negative is that it's engine is pretty low tech compared to peugeot and VW diesels so it's pretty loud...it sounds like a tractor hehe.

Only problem is that with too much tuning insurance id have to tell and id not get a quote its already going to be really high since im 17.

and i dont want a body kit they make you look like a typical 17 - 18 year old boy racer.. lol and exhaust wont fit the bit cut out in the bumper... and dont really care for about 4more bhp form an exhaust.

nah it's pretty stock... as for turning heads... it's doesn't have a V8 rumble , sounds more like a clunky combine harvester.

Yep i had a car like that, problem was the manofold, very loud for all the wrong reasons.. Also the gearbox and clutch had a very healthy feel, nightmare!
