Cheers for the advice I'm only 18 so I'v got a long time to wait until my insurance goes down.
I am going to get a car with a bigger engine because I don't think that a fiesta mk4 is worth spending money on and a turbo/supercharger can't really boost a car with such a crappy engine (1.25).

My post was a bit vague so I'll give you a better idea of my situation.

I live in Manchester so if you know of any tune shops within the area that would be helpful.
I'm hoping to spend about £5000 all together including the car (I'll probably end up spending more).

The things I want to invest in are:-
a car with a decent sized engine (1.8-2.0)
Super/turbocharger
Intake
Alloys
tyres
Full body respray (metallic)

I know that this may be pushing it a little considering some paint jobs can cost £1500+
so what do you think would be the first/best thing to start with.

Again thanks for the advice.
