How shall i spend my £2,500 lottery win?

[Mr Roboto]

I got rather lucky last weekend winning £2500 on the lottery,
thinking lowering and maybe cupra/cupra r bumpers.

Buy a second hand LCR instead matey

Aged 17 insurance will say nooooooooooo

2.5k is that what they have come down too now?

Yeahh im liking all the ideas and thanks for the congrats, a new tv is in order and im gonna keep most of it for my next car. Thai wives arnt my type im afraiddd lol. But i am one of those people who just wants to mod the car i have now and maximise its potential but i know in reality its a waste.

it would be mate,

i have spent thousands on my last car , one off jobs etc , adjustables, totally made it look different to all the others out there

i sold it last month for a £1000,

i know i could have stripped it for more , but with alittle nipper , finding time is hard ,

now at 24 im going to spend wisely ,

Well done on your win bud, its good amount of money to get.
TBH why not just sell your car and use the money to buy a better car.
If your well into your cars then this would bring a smile to your face every day
The telly and PS3 is good ideas but if your more into your cars than telly go the car route.
With £2,500 just now and the procedes from your car there are LOTS of tasty things out there.

Lots of cars out there at very good prices.
Tellies are not worth it in the long run but you can use this money to give you a foot up in the car ladder.

Wow that is cheap! You can't event get Fiesta STs for as little as that!

There's also the RenaultSports to look at too: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/945855.htm

i think he knows he cant have a fast car yet...as hes only 17...insurance for a 17year old on a 20vt?? its WAS £1400 for me when i was 21, with 2 years NCB

 

[Rich_j_Williams]

i am now 24 and have had two cash lump sums. £2.5k and then £5k.. these were bothe before i was 21.

so £7.5k and i spunked mine on a car, my girlfriend at the time and just generally living beyond my means.

if you have any debt, pay it off. if not then save it up and use it towards a deposit on a house. you will not regret it one bit when you own your own place. trust me

This man speaks the truth, but I doubt thats what you will do!

 

[Nutkin]

if it was me, i would buy some wheels for about 6-700 then 3-400 on some weitec springs and fitting

then 200 on a colourcode and leave the car at that. possibly another 2-300 at powerflow for an exaust or something


then the last grand i would just blow on crap like a new telly some xbox games etc.

this is only a 1.1 sgould imagine cheap / classic insurance a mk1 golf

i know it needs abit a tlc, it says door cards needed , id just checker plate them

 

[MrBen2k7]

who the hell would pay £2k for that!?

Its got nothing to it really...

 

[Markyboyt]

If I was you dude, i'd be putting it safe in the bank, getting quotes on a 20vt because you may be surprised (i do doubt it tho) if you do get quoted happy, get one lol, if not then you will find something else to use it for and blow the lot, im almost 25 and still would do the same lol. Granted i would probably buy another guitar despite not being able to play the ones I have already.

I wouldnt put too much into your current car, although if you do ensure you keep the old parts as somebody else mentioned, when you come to sell it on the mods wont much affect the value of the car, but on their own could sell well.

Whatever you do either way a few good nights on the pops are definitely in order

 

[Benji]

Wack it in the bank and forget about it!
