Can you fit into small car park spaces with those?

You could get any color and wrap it in whatever color you want. It protects the paint too for when you decide to sell it

I was in a similar position a week or so ago.

I've settled on a VW Passat 2.0 BlueMotion thing. Economical, powerful enough, cheap tax and capable of the odd tow.

Towing a horse box is going to need something that can take 3 tonnes which means a big 4x4. Get a Hyundai 4x4 for a couple of grand and spend the rest on a second hand sporty car

Depend's on if they do a proper job (as in take doors, mirror's, bumpers off and do the sills etc) or cut the vinyl on the car.

Expect to pay from £800 (on car) to £3000 for panel's off.

You could get it machine polished and then have a PPF front end, still not cheap, but expect around £2000 for that. If you shop around, you can get it cheaper, but just make sure they have a plotter to cut the template properly.

Machine polish on the car with a sealant like OptiCoat Pro, around £500 up.

Or just pick the colour you want to begin with!

(My job takes me to places which do wrapping and PPF and I know which companies do a good job and one's I wouldn't go near)

In that case there a lot of 2nd hand diesel tts for sale.

But then it's just a vw golf underneath with a fancy body on top.

(vw/audi/seat/skoda share their parts and technology)

My suggestion... An audi a4/a6 estate (they call them avant)

The estates only look better as they get older.

It will have all the toys from the tt same engine, gearbox just bigger and powerful enough to tow your horse box.

They even make a mild off road version with raised suspension chunky tires and 4x4.

God same old result on a car thread people start bragging about fictitious cars they have the op asked for "So practical head say's something cheap to run" not b/s.

OP probably worth looking at the Kia range for practical and cheep to run they have a 7 year warranty so even if its a couple of years old you still get very good value and peace of mind.
