Neither are safe in an accident though!
I've had two vtr's and a vts had a rather bad crash in one theyvarr good cars but been there for that and all, I'm ok with getting pcd adapters for wheels I'll pribs be going something 12 maybe 13" only other things I'd do is slam it and maybe some engine mods or an engine swap what the engine like tuning wise ??
Excuse the bad grammar my ipoo is ass with tapatalk :-(
tuning wise, your better off swopping the engine for a higher cc, as its cheeper. the 1.4 16vs can be pushed to about 120 bhp but you mite aswell drop the 1.6 as you will have 120 bhp straight away. or better still drop the 1.8 non vvc, which can be pushed to about 200 bhp with throttle boddies and upgraded pistons etc.
you can get aftermarket wheels for them.

as for slammin them, not as easy as you think. you dont let the fluid out of them and thats it, as its dangerous makes the suspention soft, you have to cut down the rods and trumpets then pump up to desired ride height and up the pressure.
also upgraded droop stops have to be fitted to stop it bottoming out.
then you have to make it handle. by sorcing front and rear anti role bars, they are getting a little hard to sorce. also front damper mounting plates will have to be welded in too for it to take dampers at the front.
i was told to becareful with the suspention setup from a mg metro cup driver. he said hydrolastic is dead easy to get wrong. plus you will distory it as a road car.
get them to handle as good as a vts etc, your looking at bolting the rear subframe to the floor, and fitting rear turrents with dampers all round.
brakes wise, you can fit mgf 4 pots but it will require 15" wheels on ( bit of a f*ck on fitting 15"s at the rear)
if i were you and you want to have a bit of fun with it, id just fit front dampers, anti roles bars front and back and thats it. Gti spec you mite aswell say. i have been told to fit front dampers to mine even tho i have mgf rear cans on the front which are "uprated"
