not really....just bit fed up and would like a change...had it 3.5 years....short of disposable income due to houses and engagements etc...
would love a Scirocco or a new LCR but money wont stretch
so bit of an update
will be returning to my original FR alloys - managed to find a couple with new tyres on - and I need new front tyres very sdoon so works out perfectly with money
Couple of questions - how much do you think I could get for a set of VRS spiders - 17" - in really good condition - sprayed a very dark gray with some sparkle - not very good tyres -about 2.5mm all round

cheers - mine dont have the best tyres and dont have much tread left - so doubt i will get anywhere near that
lupus wheels are far better than the vrs spiders, that said I would be semi interested in the spyders as winter wheels lol
yep always like my FR ones- it was only due to a very large pothole that cracked one and totally buckled the other that forced me to get something new and sharpish - now i have sourced 2 with brand new tyres at a good price it seemed perfect to move back to them
I prefer the FR wheels too, one of the very few times I've looked at a car and thought that the wheels are actually the perfect match for the car and don't need to be changed.
I think this is one of my favourite looking Mk4's on here, great colour and good choice of styling tweaks and mods

Shame really liked this car, think you did a great job with it, didn't go over the top and kept it tasteful, still my favourite Mk4 on here.
Any ideas what you will be replacing it with? I sold mine and replaced it with a mk2 LCR, good cars and plenty tuneable.

Cheers mate - yeah I took it apart (as kept all the OEM bits) sold them and then PX'ed it for a 2010 Mazda 6 2.2 180 sport
Needed a 5 door and big boot as my wife is pregnant - looked at the mk2 LCR but they were out of my price range to be honest and still needed a semi efficient car as doing longish commutes.
Looked at Mk2 leon FR's, Audi A3 170 tdi s-lines etc... but couldnt find something that would match the Mazda for price, toys, performance and efficiency.
Loving the leather, heated seats, bose stereo, bluetooth stereo etc.. etc..
I wanted something more practical than the Mk4, that's why I went for the Mk2 LCR, five doors really is the way forward lol, I used to get sick of having to get out of the car to let people in the back.
Sounds like you've dropped on, the Mazda's are underrated cars and the interior of the 6 is not a bad place to be for long commutes.
Yh the mk4 was becoming impractical. Lowered and a decat probably not the best for a pregnant women anda baby! I love the mk2 lcr..wwould have one on a heartbeat but too expensive and not economical enough. The mazda is quick...faster than my ibiza I reckon...but just so comfortable with leather heated seats and bluetooth stereo...plus its very practical with a huge boot and quick release back seats. Looks great on pearlescent white and 18s
cheers mate - you too.
for the price you get so much compared to other marques...
Standard on the sport trim - leather heated seat, front and rear parking sensor, bose stereo, bluetooth stereo, blind sport alarm, 18" alloys, auto wipers, auto lights, cornering xenons, blue light dash...plus its 180bhp so 0-60 in 8.5 but really good mid range speed and average 50mpg - plus its got a huge boot....so seemed the obvious choice.
Looked at A3 sportbacks for example and for the equivalent price i was looking at high mileage examples that were similar age to my ibiza so made no sense to change??
Anyway hope the new sprog will enjoy it!
