    Bye guys...

    I know I haven't posted on here for ages so most of you won't recognise me (used to go by the name of steveb). Sold my A3 sportback 2.0 TDi last weekend. Picked up new Mazda MX5 2.0 sport yesterday - Yahoo! A3 was great well made sensible car - with many well made sensible features - but...

    Thinking about a TT - How much is my car worth?

    Where did you advertise? - been trying to shift mine via ebay & pistonheads for last month or so & it seems I can't give it away. Currently up for 14.5k which seems like real Shxte money for a 2 year old car that retailed at over 23k (actually paid 21,4k - but that's not the point) - Doubt if...

    First Service - can I expect the car to be valetted?

    I wouldn't worry too much - when my car's been "valeted" - an underpaid non-too-bright pimply 17 year old, has smeared the muck around a bit with a dirty rag. Wash it yerself if you value your paintwork...

    Buying an S-line - help on colours - Pics would be good :-)

    Well Jamie - take it or leave it - but you'll be using a toothbrush to keep those wheels looking bright and shiny - and when they get grubby they'll look dreadful. IMHO the standard 5 spokes will look much better and will stay looking much better - good luck...

    Buying an S-line - help on colours - Pics would be good :-)

    I think you're right to avoid black - my sb is black and I now think it's a boring colour and too common. Personally I'd go for Dolphin or Avus- both look expensive and look good clean or grubby. Also I'd avoid 14 spoke wheels like the plague unless you want to spend hours and hours cleaning them...

    Lowering my Sportback...

    Well actually, as I said "would like to improve (the) look..." My A4 Avant sport had a noticably lower ride height and looked far better imho. I've never been happy with the look of the SB - the sportline wasn't available when I bought it. Dropping it a little is a far cheaper option than...

    Lowering my Sportback...

    Don't understand anything about suspension at all - but would like to improve look of my SB sport - without making it look like a chav-mobile. Can anyone tell me the effects of replacing springs to lower by 30mm or so?? Any recommended places to get this done in south east england (essex...

    [ QUOTE ] Steve Did you ask Ipswich Audi for a price? [/ QUOTE ] Problem is if I go to Ipswich I'll have to stay at the Crown & Castle in Orford - that's the price of a good room, the beef carpaccio starter, the belly pork with puy lentils, a cheeky new world sirah, the dessert, double...

    Shxt! - is it me or am I plagued by roaming gypsy Audi dealers? - (selling very expensive pegs, wearing neckscarves and playing wild violin solos). Would anyone care to mention where Robinsons are moving to? I was planning to take my car into Robinsons for 1st service whilst staying with a...

    Mis-sold my car? No of Owners - Need help please!

    Bit besides the point but I wouldn't trust any car dealer - my A4 was seriously smashed up summer 04 - car was repaired - 10k of work - every panel replaced - subframes steering the lot. Part exxed to main dealer for 17k and sold by main agent for 19.5k to a punter as "one owner" - true - but...
