LukeBird needs our help....
Discussion
Ladies and Gentleman of the South Coast, our poor friend LukeBird is in need of our assistance. He recently has suffered the loss of his black Clio at the hands of some insane person who decided his/her brakes were not adequate, so they decided to use Lukes brakes as well. 
As they say ever cloud etc... This leaves Luke able to look at purchasing a replacement vehicle. Alas insurance is a problem so it needs to be relatively friendly in that department. Let the suggestions begin....

Although as I've said, car is heavily damaged so I don't see that being particularly likely!

Don't need it for commuting as I'm moving to within 3/4 miles of work.
Budget of around £6-8k ideally. I'm looking at some very nice low mileage 182's on the Classifieds at the moment around £6.5-7k.
Doesn't matter if it's a two seater, so I am considering an MX-5.
Over to you...

Locks Heath and yeah a hatch would be nice!Still want a hot hatch ?
There is a choice my mum's going to end up replacing her 182 with an S3, so that could be a nice (easy) possibility; but I'd be happy to have my mind opened to other cars I haven't considered!

Fiat Coupe 20VT? Insurance might be a bit high but it's well under budget.

There is an Focus ST-2 which is right at the top of your budget:

Or if you want to stay with the hot hatch thing, a last-gen CTR in black, average miles, for 8k?

Or, (you can tell it's a Friday in work), what about an Integra Type-R?
Legendary handling, decent grunt and image.
This one is 7k.

Luke, I don't know what the insurance would be like for you because it's a custom car, but this MX5 has been highly recommended by the chaps in the MX5 forum here. Apparently everything has been done to an extremely high spec, no expense spared, and the car is running a very lazy 220bhp with potential for much more.
A smidge under £6.8k.
