Duckbill, chin spoiler, goatee etc.

Bit of plastic on the bottom of the front panel.

Makes the car look mean!

You'd be surprised what a little 1.1 can do, mine gets driven hard all the time, and it goes really well because its so light. The 1.1 & 1.3 are tough, well designed little engines that can take a hammering. Sure it dosent have the grunt of a gti, but due to its weight its as quick as many modern small cars with more power.
When you do get your license i don't think it'll be long before you're booting it about. Just take it easy to begin with  :D
