Looks great to me.

Remember - it's not what you've got - it's how you drive it.

My current company car has less power than anything I've owned in the last 10 years - but I'm still quicker on the roads than 99% of other drivers.

I'd kill for an auto, though.

good for a first car, most other people your age will be driving around in tiny supermini's.

Sorry, yes when i was about 15 i bought one as a project but it never worked so we scrapped it. Now this is my car. Is there anything legal i can do to make it look better or perform better?? E.g free?

Yes there is actually , and it works wonders!

By not touching your car atall you will most likely be able to sell it on again , you wont look twice the tt and you wont have a twice as st car

Not bad as a first car, I certainly wouldnt complain. Parents have had both the phase 1 and now onto the phase 2 xsara to which we've enjoyed owning both with never a serious problem.
If a girl is going to knock you down because of your car shes not worth knowing in the first place and if you want to modify it then ofcourse radio and speakers but dont go into subs and amps. The owners club should be quiet resourceful and if you do spend money on it remember thats less money you'll have for the next car as it wont hold its value.
But its clean, smart, ample for 5 people for them odd nights into town thats if you fancy driving and you should be able to get some nice secondhand wheels if thats your thing.

Drop the rear seats, open the glovebox, cadence clutch. wink
Or drive sensibly, get some NCB ( respect on PH)& change the car.
