hi everyone
i have been looking at buyin a corolla t sport 2002-2003 ish what do people recommend also how much should i be looking at for one, wanting a 5door as its still practical to use for family. are these harder to get hold of and more expensive. |

The 5 doors sell for more than the 3s, just look on Autotrader. Mostly 4k+
Personally i think the 5s look far nicer than the 3s, just my opinion. |

GTi looks nice mate, how bright are your tail-lights? I tinted my indicator strips and am concerned about how much light the paint will block out.
