    what?
    It's something "different"..... But you have seen it on "alot" of cars......

    Ok :confused:cratch:

    It's far from a uniq mod, it's tacky and ugly like most mods people make to euro a hatch in an attempt to make them look better.

    They serve no real purpose and look shit = fail imo.

    Yanks and euros do it, no need for Brits to follow trends from
    over seas as per usually.

    No offence to you jamie cars looks nice mate :good:
    iv just never understood the logic behind modding your car to represent your individualism ........ By repeating what's been typically done countless times.

    next door neighbour got a spankers 80k diesel turbo 1.9 on a 52 plate for 850 quid... spankin. my friend in london got a turbo wiht vr6 interior/r32 wheels for 1800... 52 plate... few more than 90k but it had just had a new turboi fitted (literally) a full service and didnt have a scratch on it. metalic green..and plus, its a well built german engine known for loving high mialage. ive seen them wiht 300 on the clock and still running just fine. you lot are jokers.


    you cant see them going for that much? well more fool you for paying more, but i hate to prove you all wrong, i aintg out to find your bargains for you, but "book price" or "what they are in autotrader" is NOT what ALL of them go for... if your willing to travel you get a good deal....



    theres good cars for peanuts out there. just turned down a renault 21 quattro turbo (2l 16v 4x4 turbo) for under 500 quid, fuck all wrong, wiht mot, no problems atall, paints good. just dont need another car.. yet all the forums recon there worth 2 grand all day long. obviously not :)

    fact is its who you know and how much looking you do. not how much avarage is.

    still 90k :this: , i know people who drive daily for years and dont have mileage that high.

    i dont think i could part with cash for a car with over 60k

    same as i wouldn't go for a bike or scoot with high mileage

    if its city miles then you have to work out the avarage.... the engines running ALOT of the time when relly your covering fuck all miles, how far is it from north to south london and how long does it take to get there? LOL most of my riding/driving is on long a roads/motorways.. constant 60/70mph (no, i dont speed officer) bar the 1/4 mile through my town.

    a car wiht 300,000 miles on the clock can have LESS runtime/engine wear than a car with 100k on the clock. cars love simple long distance work and absoloutly hate city's... city cars get trashed and dont do many miles for it, mialage is more dependant on the area your buying the car from as to the actual condition of the car. as thats what matters.

    with any car, all you need to know is the major problems wiht the car at certian mialages, that have ether been fixed, or are still fucked and buy wiseley.. people selling shit dont always know what its worth, thats the fact of it at the end of the day. :) mialage is less irelevent than condition :)

    Yeah minor is right with the milage, any car in london with high milage is a walk away.

    This is why i went to leicester to get my car, people always call me a nutter for traveling long distance for a car but the more up north it is, the better.

    1.8T golf 240 bhp oh yeah!
