What did you and your MK2 do today?

[bigbadjay]

Its usually reserved for buisness buyers etc etc

 

[Jarre]

I'm sure I'll buy one but it's not the colour I want and doesn't look in great condition, but you gotta try before you buy

I agree, but why would the dealer waste time letting you take out a car that you have no intention of purchasing? they're gonna tell you to go find what you do want and test drive that!

There are a few manufacturers who allow for extended test drives, Citroen offered a 48 hour test drive on the DS4 and my brother took out an Astra about 3 years ago when they had their weekend test drive offer. Picked it up on friday, took it up to the lakes and dropped it back off on Sunday, he never was interested in buying one. They had you sign a bond before you took it and the excess on the insurance was around 5 thousand pounds too if I remember correctly....

Nice

I went for the Audi TTS one in the end, didnt want to cut up the LCR one as the replacment one is very very expensive

 

[G7]

Had a tts one but decided just to chop mine, I'll buy another oem one if I decide to get rid!

 

[AndrewJB]

You seen the price of replacement LCR cover?

 

[G7]

Nope , but I think I'll be okay!

 

[AndrewJB]

iirc its like £160 lol

 

[G7]

Think I'll just about manage that lol!! What does iirc mean???

 

[AndrewJB]

IIRC If i remember correctly

its so expensive because it comes as a complete unit

Cheers, looks ok from the top but you can see its been chopped at the sides.
you have to separate the top and bottom and cut them individually! (Well I did) I had to cut off a lot from the bottom but left the two mounts at the back, under the induction kit pipe.
It's not finished yet, I'm going to buy a wee dremmel and finish it off properly as it was only roughly cut with a junior hacksaw.
Think it looks pretty good though!

I have wrapped the grill, not bad job I think.

Got rid of the sliver, just need better weather to do the bit by the number plate.

 

[G7]

Yeehaa, let the clay barring, polishing and waxing commence!!!!

[porksword28]

Changed my splash screen from VW to seat! Was really starting to get on my nerves!
Now all in need is speed camera alert buy think you have to subscribed from what I can tell

 

[Jarre]

Is that the DNX520VBT?

 

[tonto]

Well, i cut half my finger off today so the Leon wont be getting much treatment for a while!

Also keep looking at another bike, the car will be so neglected come summer.
