    Only reason why I say is that its an old car, its a basic model, its starting to rust, it doesn't even have body colour bumpers and in my opinion there isnt much point and it isnt really worth spending loads of cash on it.

    Getting new alloys and tyres would set you back at least £600 for something decent, thats already more than the cars worth, then lowering, then buying a stainless exhaust, and a new cat you would just be throwing money away.

    If the car is sound you could probably get another couple of years out of it for sure, but if you was wanting a new car then I wouldnt really know, it would depend on how much money you got, insurance etc etc...
