Cazza16v, yes mate - both the saloon and the estate - lovely car and would have been my next car with my old job! Andy665, I'll be in touch with out a doubt as I'm bound settle on a dub - I've had a new shape passat 1.9TDI S for the last year and haven't suffered any problems with it! NickVR6, Plus the new 2.0 FSI VRS has the same 198bhp as the mk5 GTI! I do love them but have to think about insurance costs at the same time... as for BM's I'd want a coupe and they're about 7-8K over budget - plus I do believe you get more car per £ with VAG 8)

Yeah it's all down to the killer 30K fun packed miles I'll be doing :D I'm still headed toward the Passat but will have a good look at the laguna and Jetta - due to my love of all things dub I expect I'll settle on the Passat or Jetta 8)

Passat and Laguna both win it I think but I want to drive the Laguna GT as only have my fathers to base my opinion on... most new cars are fairly comfy though! Haven't looked at Seat as I think their new cars look pants - the old leon on the other hand was lovely 8)

No conditions on what I get and I've considered what they'd take in tax and decided that I've been paying co car tax for the last few years out of my salary and it won't be any more than what I'm used to if I spend the full allowance... please feel free to tell me if I'm wrong :D

Just about to start a new job in Jan and have been given a car allowance of £450 p/m to spend on what ever I want :) Basicly I will be doing aprox 30K miles a year and will have to pay 30% of all fuel... with this in mind I have been looking at diesel engines but the sporty models. My current list of cars I could live with are - price quoted is the monthly lease purchase fee with no deposit: VW Passat Sport 2.0TDI 140PS - £430 VW Jetta Sport 2.0TDI 140 PS - £383 Skoda Octavia 2.0TDI 170PS VRS - £393 Alfa Romeo GT 1.9JTD 16V - £456.90 Renault Laguna 1.9 1.9 DCI GT - £379 I will also need to factor a monthly amount for insurance... I really like the new Passat as had one with my old job and IMO it ticks all the boxes! However, I'd be grateful if anyone thinks I've missed anything or have opinions on what I'm looking at...

I removed the front from the dial faces and inserted my surrounds throught the dial appertures - I wouldn't want to try to remove the perspex as I think it'd be a mare and you'd never get it back as it was :?

Theclocks are lit from above by 3 bulbs... I should get them out and check the outers - my guess is still that the outers have blown or have lower wattage bulbs in them...

You have to either spray your lights with a tint spray (savage is the best) or use the film that heri has linked you too... alternatively buy some FK red/llight smoke crystal lights - you can find pics of them in my members gallery by clicking on my signiture pic 8) Gonna lock this as there are sooooo many tinted light threads ;)

Looks great mate! I like the chrome mirrors myself 8)

Deffo matey! :D

Horrid :lol: Damn I want those seats...

Deleted the 4 other threads for you :lol:

oh.. the things I know I shouldn't say ;) :lol:

Yup all will be answered in here 8)

Yeah, but we all love Wendy :D

Looking sweet bro... but, I still think they'd look better with porker centre caps ;)

Couple hundred of your finest IMO :D

Nice 8)

Cool - thats what was putting me off tbh! Might have a stab at it in the next week or so then 8)

Looks mint mate! Love the rear end - have been planning to remove my wiper but haven't got further than removing the inside pannel and thinking f*ck that :lol:

my old mans got a 1200RS on a 55 plate - nice bikes 8) Nice looking VR btw - any plans to lower it?

Get thee to The Phirm they'll be able to sort you out :D

I like those but am put off as they cover some of the symbols around the controls :(

They're meant to be like that - thought it was odd myself and that I'd got something wrong when I fitted my suspension but after checking a mates VR they're mean to be like that...

No, they were ebay specials :lol:
