Just seen white biscuits thread people charge like £80 for skirts and even more for the bumpers. Exhausts are expensive, manifolds even more so. Then it'd need front KYB's, springs. + Labour costs. My dad could do it, but hasn't anywhere couldn't expect that free.

And how much do you think you're going to get for your SRi?
About £500 perhaps. There's only a couple scratches, 61,000miles new rear shocks and decent tyres and alloys should get that much.
Ha, depends who's buying/selling, I got skirts for £30-40, got skirts with rear bumper and splitter for £60 off Rich. If you gave me £400 I'd break my GTi up and do the engine swap for you together with bodykit.
Black doesnt fade does it? I PM'd you.
Do you really need to blend black in? Especially when it's on the roof. Imo all you need to do is cover the rust up and forget about it.
If insurrence is not much more go for the GTI, i mean i only modded my puny Peugeot 206 1.4 the way i did beacuse i simply couldnt get a faster car at that time was £1500 extra for a gti.. now if i wana get a GTI its £120 one of payment
Then theres the how much have u sunk into your current car? does it have anything special?
If not really to the above it makes the transition less painfull and untilatly less looking back and more fuck me ive got a GTI :lol:
Up to you man
depends on what your after, i think you would prefer to get something ready made and leave it as it is, in which case a GT or GTi would be the best option, id go for the GTi personally.
if you want something unique that will gain you respect and teach you a lot then build a 5 door GTi, but if your not interested in getting your hands dirty, or your going to count every last penny and compare it to the cost of a GTi, then thats not going to work, it would be a cool car though and its a good comprimise between the GT and GTi.

If the roof is the only thing wrong with your car, then you will not find a GTi thats in better condition for under £1200 IMO.
Here are some pictures I took today after a relaxing drive. The camera was on my shitty LG phone so the qualities not very good; neither is the rushed numberplate cover ups.
On the close up of the right front wheel also, you can see the first sign of wheel arch rust emerging. Also possible I put the wiper arms on the wrong way around lol.
Personally I think she looks BANG ON HOT.
