magicrat1, If what you say is true I would SERIOUSLY go back and demand some money...claiming blatant deception all the way

can't you now get aftermarket Bosch replacement aero blades from halfrauds? maybe they'll be a better compound rubber and less likely to judder? 'Beware the Judder my dear' - wasn't that some spooky advert for Metz?

surely that much power to the front wheels is gonna split the car in two?

this one seems to come up quite a bit. It seems the insurance companies have us by the balls on this one UNLESS a price for the vehicle is arranged at the time of fixing the premium. I know people who have modified their cars with abandon and don't want to kiss their investment goodbye, have arranged 'classic' car insurance where the replacement cost is factored into the initial premium. Your options are 1. to persist with your valuation and if necessary, provide more evidence to present to a more senior adjudicator. 2. Insurance ombudsman if youre getting nowhere 3.failing that, take the write off money, and buy the car back for a nominal sum and break it up yourself to try and recoup some money. Sorry I can't be more helpful, but some of the guys may be able to give you better hope

any chance of a 'how to' guide for this particular mod - with pics and 'refitting is reversal of removal' type thing :wink:

18 K miles? You would have to take a helluva long time convincing me that was genuine....even if it was garaged

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: 2x 6x2998406 Wiper arm and blade 1x 1J2955425A Driver side blade these were okay a couple of months ago when I bought mine - work a treat

I hope I never have to visit your site................

anyone know where i can get some fixings by the way, cos i'm fed up of fishing my mat out from under the pedals when Im driving

is there some magic number that once reached will start up the production lines?

Kev - which 17" BBS rims weigh the same as the 15" speedlines' solitudes? Because you've convinced me to avoid the cheap 17" option to 'save the solitudes' argument :)

.........for local people???? :-P :-P :-P aye laddie, that'll be reight

Sorry to hear about this Steve, its a disgrace that insurance companies who fleece us annually just because some chav can't keep his digits of other peoples cars, behave this way with customers who are dedicated to looking after and preserving their cars. A lot of people don't give a toss where they leave their cars, whats on display in them, and not least how they drive aroung the country. Unfortunately we have to pay for them. I left Adrian Flux several years ago having insured my first Storm with them when I found out that they had taken my money but failed to actually insure the car. They had for weeks insisted that the formal certificate of insurance takes a couple of months and that my cover note would suffice. Trouble was they were supposed to send out monthly covernotes which they 'forgot to do'. My file obviously sat in someone's tray for months and end result was I was driving around uninsured for 3 months. Many apologies later ( I was informed by THEM that I hadnt been technically 'insured') I cursed them and took my business elsewhere. I'm using Esure at the moment - about £380 fully comp PNCD - probably not the most competitive, but they'll do until I am sure the next 'specialist insurer' isnt too busy to carry out their....er...job. Anyway - sorry for kind of hijacking this somewhat Steve but I hope you get it sorted. I hope you told him that there will probably be a lot less Corrado owners ringing his number from now on..... :wink:

Now now boys its Friday and the weekends here - pour yourselves a drink. dazzyvr6, why have you got German style plates out of interest?

are the A8 alloys the 9 spoke ones?

looks unique certainly, but would you want to clean it everyday? cos thats what you'd have to do. I must admit I quite like it but you would have to have......err.....an 'outgoing personality' to drive it. You could probably see it coming from the international space station :wink:

i agree - and those dials are superb -chunky and purposeful reminds me of the dials in the eighties Ferrari GTO
