Nice car too!

Very nice Luke.  :happy2: There is an Estoril blue one with tinted windows that goes past my house each day and i think it looks very nice indeed. No question i would have one of these if i was in the market for a hot hatch.  :notworthy:

Thanks all. Really impressed with it. I'm running it in the correct way, warm it up and stretch it's legs!!

They aren't LED panels on the garage walls. I fitted 3x 6ft strip lights. It's very bright in there. :)

Edit: oh, those LED panels are from the handover room in the dealership. My garage isn't quite that wide!! ;)

Really lovely car.

Chap at work has one in blue, nicely understated. Still not convinced on its looks, bit marmite, but ID LOVE ONE!!  :notworthy:

Cheers Nige. Like the work you have done with Sedox on the development of the system.

The jury is out.

Depends if i win Euros or not. But this is what i have looked for in a car for a very long time and never been able to find with VAG.

Totally agree - everyone needs to test drive this beast to appreciate the potential...
First car to turn my head for a long time..

Nice to see you finally have your hands on her mate..  :pomppomp: You got the insurance sorted in the end then?

Look forward to seeing the plans take place for the future mods..  :wink:

Thanks Ron. Yeah, just went with Esure in the end. So it will need to stay standard for the time being. But for £304 with protected ncd, it was a no brainer.

I actually think the 3 door is a great looking car. One of those designs that takes a while to grow on you (and not like mould LOL)

Its the headlights that ruin it if anything, I mean look at this whats not too like!?

I love the look from the front too.

The front does look cack... hotch-potch design. Side and rear are much better.

I know this is a bit cheeky, but what do you make of the COBB tuning 'do it yourself' AccessPort?

All best

We have tested the cobb access port, its a well made device but its downfall is that its just a generic software, no UK support and there are better overall products available in the UK.
