cardaft Posted September 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 (edited) lol, ive got the same mats in my 1.0 which have been in from new and they havent worn too badly, and there a lighter colour than those, just didnt want a cheap halfords set border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" />Thats the worst thing about the car, needs sorting i like things to be right style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Its going in for a cam belt, tensioners, brake check and an oil & filter change next week, so i know everything is right with it style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Ive done 1,000 miles in just under three weeks and its going great. I seem to save about £10 - £15 per week on fuel, its much more refined for the mileage im doing, and i like the power it has over the 1.0 as well.Chris Edited December 30, 2006 by cardaft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubweiser Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Why have you blurred your plates out mate? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" /> Car looks nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Why have you blurred your plates out mate? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" /> Car looks nice.Some people's insurance are funny about having identifyable pictures online or in magasines. I had to blur all the plates out in my pics last year. But with my new insurer their not too bothered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

db Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Look at the shine on the TDi! It looks like a good job from the picture, did you take it to a bodyshop for the work or did you get a mobile dent remover to do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardaft Posted December 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 I took it to a bodyshop, we have used the same bodyshop for years and he is a perfectionist so you carnt even tell its been painted, really happy with it style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> . So he took the door cards off and beat the dents out to use minimal filler, and it also got a good polishing as it had quite a few swirl marks which have all gone now style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggaz Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 thanking you....id rather have the diesel sport over the petrol.Hoping the torque makes it more willing around the doors? The sport feels flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sport feels flat.Ive never driven a sport but i think the power cuts in quite late in the rev range doesnt it, and the TDi cuts in early and there is sooo much torque from the diesel, great engines.Chris Edited January 1, 2007 by cardaft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
