My First Car, 106 quiksilver, modded.
Discussion
Normally I work on the assumption that if I haven't got anyting nice to say I shouldn't say anything at all but you did ask for comments so I will reply.
I really don't like it, definatly not my cup of tea but if you like it then fair play to you as I can appreciate that alot of time and money has gone into it.
For your next car chuck money at the mechanics/suspension as opposed to the looks of the car.

Sorry mate but thats not very nice at all.
Wasn't the Quiksilver the same as a GTi but without the insurance killing power output?
Surely money spent on a stiffer setup and big front brakes would have yielded more fun?
Quicksilver in Ireland was 1.4 8v so I can only assume this is the same. Either way, if it's as the profile picture, my eyes have just been dangerously assaulted.Wasn't the Quiksilver the same as a GTi but without the insurance killing power output?

I have to ask a serious question.
Why did you do all that to it? Do you seriously think it looks better?
It must have cost you a fortune and it doesn't really look 'different' because there's loads of other 106s with crap bodykits aswell.
I'm just curious as to the mentality really.
I saw a Saxo once that had been converted to a central driving position with custom everything. it had about £25k spent on it. Why not just buy a Porsche which is better to drive/buy/look at/pull with/sell on/live with/service/repair/anything?

Oh my word - I hope the insurance pay out, looks like a nasty accident you had there - oh, you meant to make it look like that....
A genuine question though - why?? With all the money you spent on it, you could have got
a.) A better car and
b.) Afforded the insurance on the better car because the mods must push up the premium quite a lot.
Better = quicker, more stylish, better handling etc
