I thought simular when first getting it proberly because coming from the lupo, but after getting used to the car I know think otherwise.

Have been told by the previous owner you can take the car to vaux and they can change the steering on a computer? There are 3 modes changing how light and heavy the steering is, not sure how true this is but he was a genuine guy so must be true.

Yes the 160's and have seen some for sale with maps with 200bhp, Only thing is I like my cars to stand out, the GTi and VXR does that nicely but the cupra's styling is a little boring, Cant complain with the handling realy as it has 18" wheels, comparing it to my GTi on coilovers an 15's not a huge difference.

I'm starting to think that now, got just under 300 miles out of the last fill up most I ever had, Only other thing is the insurance will be keeping the vxr for a while anyway deffinatly through the summer, when I am looking to get a bike will see how the finances are looking and go from there. Most nice diesels are higher on insurance than I expected the Ibiza cupra took my eye but thats group 15.

Only got crappy phone pics and the car isnt clean, Will have to reset the trip it says 34 MPG average but it's been saying that for a while and I don't realy know how it works lol, It's not just fuel the insurance it twice what the lupo was, wasnt expecting this at the time but my renewel was more than they guessed, And I want to do my bike test next year and would like to save for that and a bike which I can't do with the corsa, Will proberly wait until the summer is over and make uo my mind what to do then.

Thanks mate I thought you could get 300 and over, Only thing that is putting me of getting another GTi is that parkers state 38 mpg and its the same for my car corsa vxr, so still undecided on that or a diesel but thats hard find one I like, ARGH why did I sell my GTi

I regret selling my old GTi a few months back, due to my new car costing me an arm and a leg in running costs, Can someone remind me how much it is to fill up the GTi? I know prices might of changed a little but I cant remember and I want to know how much more money I am spending a week on fuel, Have a crap memory but I think I remember getting about 220-240 miles out of the tank, that sound about right? thats going to and from work mostly so not around town, cheers.

Realy? would be good if it did but I can't see it being halfed with 1 years no claims.

I know yours is not a GTi but heres my old one on 16's.

I would say you would need a DA or rotary after wet sanding the ligths, may be wrong though but I think it may be hard to get the finish you need by hand.

Could ask on detailing world mate, plenty of pros on there that would know the best products and combo to use.

Looking at this thread makes me regret selling my GTi Looking good as always mate

Looks tidy, tempted to sell my petrol guzzler and have one of these.

Lol and what price are you expecting then?

Got these left over from my old GTi never put them back on when changing the interior, there in good condition with a few light scratches comes with the screws, will get a pic up tomorrow, dont know what there worth so will say £20, cheers.

Why do so many people hate VXRs?

There are people younger with GTi's I had mine when I was 18 and paid half that, Insurance is different for everyone though, another person whos 20 way pay 1k doesnt mean you will be the same, Does seem alot though have you got any previous convictions, accidents live in a bad postcode area?

Also check the xenons work correctly and flash the full beams to check the flap operates and doesnt stick, Door microswitchs check the light comes on when opening both doors and boot, might be small but they are over £100 to replace and its something to haggle the price, Starting motor can stick so listen out for that.

Not heard of advanced driving lessons anyone got more info?

It's because they are not thick and they know you are proberly the main driver, Waste of time if you ask me and can cause hassle in a claim just bite the bullet get your own policy from the start and build up some no claims.

Could of cleaned it for the pics mate.

Stunning mate.

All the cheap coilovers are the same.

£20 bargain.

I thought after 2 years driving experience you didnt have to do a re test?
