Either way a nice car :happy2:

Was classed as heavily modded due to the wide arch kit being real expensive to replace if even a little knock occurred.
Pirelli being 'standard' is cheaper for some reason, weird how the world works :laugh:

Correct, with the whole kit being fibreglass... i small knock would shatter the whole piece..
Even worse, with the back arches primed..rivited... primed and so on... its not a simple replacement... its a huge cost of repair even if it was a bump...
Next thing, the waiting time to get parts made in Germany is hurrendous... and i'd be without a car for a long while meaning a courtesy car..
All this made them class it as "not for business use" - a company car would not have these kind of mods on... then being driven by an 18 yr old with 1 yrs no claims bonus.. they clearly didnt like it.
I'm over the moon with the Pirelli... i think it looks FAB as it is... all i might do is... Oettinger Exhaust and maybe Eibach springs...
Will post some interior pictures later on...
And thanks for the comments, she really is amazing, and such a pleasure to drive !
DSG is a god send :innocent: :notworthy:
