If my kid comes out looking like a little Lewis, then me and the missus are going to have words.

If it's Motability, personally I'd just call them and let them sort it all.

The orange one is potentially gone, just waiting on one chap to confirm shipping, if he can't get it sorted then I'll give you a nudge.

No, you don't. You just need it set up by someone who knows what they're doing. I've seen race cars set up with string and given perfect geos, and I've seen cars on Hunter machines crab around the first corner. Go somewhere decent first and foremost.

We don't speak about that, remember? REMEMBER?

Rocket Bunny and Stardast kits. /Grundy

No-one else has come forward for that one yet, so drop me a PM and we can sort something out. Beer tokens not required though, just the charity donation is plenty enough

I think I feel the way about cats that you guys feel about kids. I couldn't imagine my life without them. They're the first thing I think about when I wake, and the last thing before I sleep. I'm so proud of their every achievement. They make me laugh and smile more than anything else in the world. I would rather spend an hour with them than a week with a supermodel. Cleaning up after them is never fun, but worth the smell.

No probs, thanks for letting me know.

VUS are no longer available, I'll be amazed if you can find any. Which is a shame, as I loved them. RS3s are good, but not really in the same league as big guns. They're more of an MX5 tyre than anything. 453s a better option at that budget, although you'll need to change all four if swapping brands.

Tbh mate I'd be disappointed if no-one took the p*ss after that awful pic

Bit of both

Fellow adoptee here too! *high five*

Red one now taken, just the orange one left.

No-one could claim to be that pretty otherwise Jumping350 should be on that list too, but I won't edit it in case it breaks the system of approvals. Just take my word for it, folks.

I have two HR bumpers here up for grabs, both needing minor repair works before they can be fitted. Pics first: That's the red one, and it's the worst of the pair. It's already had a bit of rubber filler added to it, and there's some scuffing that side too that the camera wouldn't pick up. Everything else looks fine though, in terms of structure and mounting. That's the orange one. The close up shows a tear in the plastic, but aside from that the bumper is sound. And free badge! Both have various age-related stone chips etc. They are currently at work at Stansted Airport, but I can bring them home to Halstead easy enough. So what do I want for these? Nothing! Nowt! Nada! All I ask is that you sort shipping (so either collection, or you literally get a bloke and a van to turn up here and grab it, my laziness is preventing me doing anything more proactive with them) and make a small donation of your choice to the charity of my choice. If you think a pound is fair, donate a pound. If you think a fiver, a tenner, twenty... Whatever your conscience lets you get away with. I've had a handful of enquiries on these already so in order of priority: Oggieteepo Bradders AaronC350z ...get first go, if they don't want them then of course it's a free for all. However, I reserve the right to give these away to the people that make my life easier! And since I forgot the photo with my name in (as I always do), here's a photo of actual me with the actual bumpers instead: The sun was in my eyes as I took it

True, however that doesn't mean that an unfair term can be inserted I tend to agree with you, read what you sign, but at the same time it wouldn't stop me doing non-reversible mods to the car. Mapping would be completely out though. I don't think I ever told VWFS that I put a private plate on my car, despite Porsche having it under the new reg on their system I only found out that I forgot when I came to sell the car and put the old plate back on, oops!

...of which they would ignore should you ever wave it in their face despite overwhelming evidence in your favour, then they would promise to do what was in writing and fail that and/or do it on the cheap or illegally, then you have to take them to court etc. Why bother? If the car and the deal was right, it could still make sense. I'm not saying they'd be my first choice mind

I wonder how well that would stand up in court. Powertrain mods then yes, completely, but if something was superficial? I'd argue that's an unfair term and void.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

Actually, it would be more useful if people used their consumer rights a bit more. That would cause companies to either go out of business, or shape up. I still maintain that I would buy from J17, I'd just be getting everything in writing before hand.

A chair! My god, was anyone hurt? Much damage? Have you put in a claim for compensation? Stay strong my friend, always here for you. I know your pain, as I checked my garden last night and found that a small disused plant pot had been sadly knocked over as well

http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=193416 Interesting reading, that would seem to back up the point about VAG removing finance if modified. Post 50 is where he states about the finance being withdrawn, and that's from 2008 too...!

Good read, thanks. Backs up what I was saying about only the powertrain warranty being affected. Nothing on there about the finance side of the remaps though? And like you say, if it's only something that VWFS now do (they certainly didn't back in 2010 when I had my agreement with them) then it becomes an easy choice just to get finance from someone else: Zero risk then! Silly, silly VAG.
