Hello peoples The next few months i will be upgrading to a Mazda 3 MPS. After looking at most types of hot hatches, it was between a Megane 225 Trophy and the Mazda but the only thing that was in it was the interior. With the Bose system and a more welcoming feel to it i decided the Mazda it was. Just sorting out funds and insurance (  ) as im only a nipper (21). But whilst im young i may as well have some fun! Im done with lowering cars to the point where i rip off sumps and waisting money on stupid moneys worth of wheels and want to spend the money on something that i can take pride of!. Obviously i will be making the car quicker, lowering it just a tad on springs and shocks. Hope to stick around a pick up a few pointers! Joe

Lewis - Not impractical low, just to benefit the looks and handling without ruining the comfort. Grandchamp - I've looked into adjustable top mounts and coilover's just incase i want to go stupidly low but its abit more pricey than just slapping on a set of coilovers on a 9n polo so may just wait  Colour's, im split between red, black and cosmic blue! thanks for the welcome chaps!

I know its a lot but i dont mind paying out for something i need!
Iv'e decided already, ditching springs, coilovers it is!

hi again! £1200 for the insurance isnt too bad considering your age! we were with privelege for years then they hiked our policy up to £650, shopped about and the RAC quoted £540. anyway glad you have gone for cosmic blue, wish they done that for the 6mps but very happy with ours in silver.
