    Help.....my own fault though

    Swansea mate! What colour was the BMW? My excess in considerably higher than £350 (age :gun2:) but £300 sounds good! I'll try get a picture on here tomorrow before work!

    Help.....my own fault though

    Sorry for the double post... however Chipsaway say it's too big of a job for them and explained why the bodyshop would be working on the front door too....Need to try find a cheaper bodyshop or bite the £805 bullet

    Help.....my own fault though

    All about equal opportunities here, Pete :tonguewink: I emailed Chipsaway last night and the closest guy at the moment is too far away to come to do a quote in person but I'm sending him pictures of the damage later today so fingers crossed! Horrible isn't it:sleepy:I managed to scuff the...

    Help.....my own fault though

    Think I'm going to get a pillow for the naughty step and stay there for the long haul :disappointed: I'm usually the same! Everyone always says "why the flip are you parking so far away from the shop doors again?" or "you can drive the last mile mind" but I was running late for an appointment...

    Help.....my own fault though

    Hi guys, long time no see but I've been very very busy! Unfortunately, I was a bit over ambitious trying to fit my A3 into the last space in the car park which had a lamp post on the edge of it, went in at slightly the wrong angle and dented/scratched the rear passenger door. Its a...

    Just to say.... IT'S HERE! Picked it up on Saturday morning (1/11), a day late as I was informed that when they submitted for a change of number plate (they had the incorrect VRM on there, plus I wanted euro plates), it came up on their system that there was a recall campaign on the oil filter...

    B&O crackling noises

    I'm pretty heavily reliant on Spotify these days and I sync all my music with 'Extreme' quality selected (320 kbit/s) so hoping that doesn't give me any problems

    Had it for less than a week :(

    Makes me sick reading things like this and I'm absolutely gutted for you hooray33. All this has really made me think about secure the family's properties are...the answer? Nowhere near secure enough. I think theres going to be some serious fort knoxification for me in the next few weeks. Hope...

    Looking very nice! Liking the black pack and the shine on it really makes it look that extra bit special! And I'm not enjoying mine yet :( Still trying to sort out the financial details but it thankfully looks like I can go ahead with it after all the turmoil of the last few and I'm going to...

    Anything that has a link to français, I'm there:salute: This really is a special car as it also has a kind of double-grille system to protect the B&O so theres an extra cardboard-like layer over the grilles.... I've really gone all out on the out-there additional coverings!

    So....the car arrived at the dealers yesterday and I jumped in the car for an hours drive to visit it. Despite my still currently uncertain financial situation (of which you are all aware), I had to do it - I had to sit in it - and now I'm emotionally attached. I'll be very disappointed if I...

    A3 8v Footrest

    To be fair, I guess it would make sense to have a wider footrest on the S-Tronic considering there's one less pedal to fit in the footwell.....?
