  1. they're gonna be terrible. you need to know a company is capable of making suspension at least to oem quality.
  2. cant say the 130 seems unresponsive at all, but i've not driven the car long enough to really judge, or driven a 110 to compare. it'd be a lovely daily driver though.
  3. im driving a passat 130 on a 52 plate this weekend, i took it in px this morning. it drives really well. I would personally definatly get the passat, however, boras do seem to be very cheap.
  4. true, he's opened up the market to female drivers now :lol:
  5. Blue_Joe, gutted mate! i'll keep an eye out down this way for a bonnet. hope it all works out okay.
  6. my mate was running at 270 + 100 shot of nos..
  7. i reckon he should get his polo rears retrimed to match.. mj will have matching cloth for the centres.
  8. mmm.. the difference between mint and ebay mint! its a phrase so commonly used now. mint condition should be better than new. i have a set of solitudes i paid £120 to be powdercoated, which i wouldnt describe as mint, but wouldnt be worth selling for under £200 plus postage, so on that basis, if you get the £50 back, id say is fair.. certainly not great though considering what you expected. slag.
  9. im getting a aston/lambo driving day for xmas from the mrs.. this has whet the appitite!
  10. complete fecker.. i had my bumper resprayed in the summer, now someones taken a nice chunk out of it already. may take the opportunity to smooth it next year now.
  11. No probs.. i think its better to call anyway, if its difficult to get a quote, imagine what it would be like to settle a claim!
  12. you only need to declare 'active' points. points for an SP30 [most common] are active for 3 years, but you have to wait an additional year to remove them. the reason insurers ask for points up to 5/6 years is incase you have 'active' drink driving offences.. these stay on the licence for up to 12 years. It sounds like you have only one active SP30, so your £420 should be correct! IMO its worth phoning for quotes, with the [albiet not huge list] of mods you have done, you'd be better off getting a tailored quote.. and mention everything, it wont have much effect. HTH Baz.
  13. chicks dig superchargers, old men like V6's. :lol:
  14. strangely, i have a better selection of local produce available to me now im back in a bigger city.. However, when i say available to me, i mean if i didnt work a six day week 8.30-6.30. As soon as local shops open the same hours as tesco i'm there, in the mean time i'll slap me back pocket and do what i gotta do.
  15. plenty strong enough.. styling not my cup of tea, but depends what you want out of the car..
  16. wah wah wee wah! thats crazy.. this doesnt look too bad.. http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.100-8963.aspx
  17. yup decent issue and very good article.. liked the fact they got the message across about having no negative feedback.. not often a company isn't slated by someone, a real credit to the quality of service. :notworthy:
  18. how does a db9 compare in size to a corrado?!
  19. noticed these too today.. although anyone thinking of ordering, worth ordering direct, saves darren ebay fee's and you'll get 5% forum discount.
