Yep, second hand as they are dear new. Seems good so far. Not really had a proper play yet!

I don't know the RS4 but it sounds lush.

Renewing my insurance this week! Any suggestions on companies? I'm with Sky Insurance at the mo, but will give Adrian Flux a bell. Any others I should try?

Adrian Flux...also have a look on www.quidco.co.uk , they give you cash back on purchases, I just got £80 back by buying my house insturance online. Top site.

Just phoned Adrian Flux and they have given me a good quote. I will phone my current insurers in a bit and see what they say (if they can match it!)

I've been with Adrian Flux 3 years on the trot now...they always beat everyone else lol

They've been OK for me so far (though I dont have as many mods/the same mods as you) my FR TDI with mods declared (remap, strut brace and piperX air filter) comes in at under £600 fully comp, and I'm only 20! Coilovers, RARB and 20mm spacers are only going to add another £30 too

Have a look at greenlight insurance - they only go by the power and not visual
I pay £450 with all my mods declared -

Thanks for the advice chaps!


On another note, Scanguage was reading 24degrees intake temp with an ambient temp of 22degrees cruising at 70mph on the way home from work (for a bit!) Not bad eh? I know its not booting it so heat-soak doesn't come into it.....

Update.... what update?

Nothing new to report folks. Not posted in ages!
Been away on holiday and have no spare time to spend tinkering with the car with the wife and baby at home! Usually I have the 6 weeks summer holiday to myself and would get loads done!
On the plus side: I haven't spent loads of money on mods for the car... unless you include TAX and INSURANCE as mods!? Oh, I did purchase 2 new tyres also... Falken 452.

Here is a list of the mods I have done since taking ownership of the car:

Polo rear wiper
6000k HIDs
LED sidelights
FK badgeless grill
