Finally got myself a Golf GTD with a DSG box. I'm over the moon with it to be honest. Feels more planted than the Beemer and the DSG makes it lovely to drive on long trips and in traffic. Also, i'm glad to say goodbye to black! Such a hard colour to keep clean!!

Well im after a Golf GTD haha, I'm guessing you're on about your mk5 GTI? As I'm pretty set on getting a GTD haha. Sorry

Now up for sale!! http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/bmw/1-series/bmw-1-series-123d-m-sport-coupe-2009/5941914?v=c

Well, it's now over about a year and a half since my last post, but the car hasn't really changed... although she will now be going up for sale. I will selling the 216 Alloys, BMWP Grills and Rear Lights separately. They will be listed for sale on BabyBMW.net shortly (wheels not for a few days...

I completely agree about the front end. It could be a lot more refined. I wouldn't have kept the car for over 3 years if I didn't enjoy it haha! I get a good average of 43 mpg for the driving I do and find it can handle pretty much anything I throw at it. It can be a little twitchy in the wet...

Wow, Thanks for the comments mate, just a bit of a bump haha! Nothing has actually changed on the car since then though! From what I understand, there are a couple different versions of the front lights, with different coloured inserts. Mine has the older, lighter grey insert (was on the car...

Personally I would go for something that's more tailored towards your name rather than the car. If you have that then you would have to always have a car that's a 10 plate or newer.

If your aircon doesn't work, it will be slightly warmish air that will come through.

That's your choice. It means you take the risk of your insurers declaring your insurance invalid in the event of an accident. Everyone on here will tell you to declare your mods as it's just not worth the hassle.

Daniel was looking for a smart car wasn't he? ;)

E82 friend! :D Looks nice mate! CSL reps that actually fit can be quite hard to come by. There is a way of getting genuine M3 ones to fit though, but its difficult to get them.

Entry I forgot to add it to my first post :)

I couldn't go in the end. Spent this morning giving the car a wash and wax and then find myself blocked in and unable to leave. Oh well.

I might show up too, haven't seen you in a very long time Jim :P

Yes. Picture inception.

Wasn't really sure what to do, but here's an attempt.. BubbleWrap by buxton123, on Flickr

I'd say go with spacers for the looks, and then when he's able to get a sport, just buy one. Don't bother with doing an engine transplant.

I've decided I want to actually start taking half-decent photos instead of just point and shoot. Starting with my new Lego keyring :) Emmet Spotlight by TSBuxton, on Flickr

He's got an advert for a Trophy engine too and says about how very very rare they are... and then says he has 2. LOL

Nice to see it's back in your hands!

Thankfully yeah, no visible damage to the car :)

It is, however that's the first time it's been out of that tub in a loooong time

Don't leave it in the middle of your drive and then decide to move your car. I can't express how stupid i felt haha.

Finally installed my dash cameras (front and rear), and I'm relatively happy with the quality. I'll have to get some pictures of it up at some point. I had a bit of a stupid moment earlier and decided it would be a good idea to run over my box of cleaning supplies...:dapprove: Didn't damage the...

Lawro Got you!

Haha thanks! saw you too mate! We did exchange looks as we went over the speed hump :P Yours looked really clean, considering the weather haha! I finally installed my dash cam yesterday, so might go have a look and see how clearly it got you ;)

Looks like a tidy one mate! You gonna do any proper off-roading in it or you just gonna stick to green-laning to minimize the chance of breaking it?

No problem mate, you too!

Personally, i think it looks better with the orange, helps it stand out a bit.

Here's another one with the proper colours:
