What did you and your MK2 do today?

[AndrewJB]

Took my LCR along to MK3 Leon Media Day, Parked it in the carpark and went of and drove a selection of MK3 Leon's from the 1.2TSI to the 2.0TDI 184PS

Best one for me was the 2.0TDI 184ps, All the journalists where asking about the LCR

 

[Matthew FR]

Yep. No joke, when I insured mine it was £750 on the drive (which is where it goes), £729 on the street, or... wait for it... £1036 in the garage!!!

Just checked that method out, £20 more expensive for it to be kept on the drive way instead of the garage, and £90od extra for it to be kept in the street.. lol

Have you tried a company called brentacre based in wales for the insurance. Most mods except remap are included in the policy with no additional premium. They were cheaper than any other for me.

aaronb84,
Cheers, ill give them a ring, but I'm being honest and telling them I have 380-400 horse power and all the other mods, exhaust, b12 Sportlines, full Miltek spots cat etc...
Yes the price is obviously a factor but I wouldn't necessarily go for the cheapest option!!

Same happened to me last year, New Alloy and 2 new tyres, never got anywhere with East Sussex Council though - there is a minimum required check that they need to do of their 'highways' and they had 'evidence' that that had done the check - although how a 8" deep 15" long hole appeared almost overnight mystified me

Book in for MOT monday!!

Driving your car= Increase in air pollution= Ozone layer destroyed by free radical catalysts= More UV radiation attacking your insert= Grey insert

Stop driving

I might blend in to much to the car being gloss black and having a black car . Id say a satin finsh would set that off a treat and the defuser will stand out alot more .

Down to personal preference really though !!! Mines gloss black but on a red car

 

[Smee]

That's what I thought but the front splitter is gloss. The covers on b pillar etc are gloss as well so thought why not.

I really don't know what to do.

 

[Tron-19]

Matt black. Anything else wouldn't look right IMHO.

 

[Smee]

Any one good with photoshop?

 

[Masterkm]

Id say the look you have there Smee is just right

My Mates mk2 blew its engine today whilst cruising along on the daily commute. he heard a bang, clunk and pulled over, oil all over the road. mechanics had a quick look and said there was a big hole in the bottomof engine and that the engine had blown up..... he's wondering is this common or a known fault / any relevant recalls etc. he just bought it 3 months ago, 2nd hand. company car, 88 k miles. needs a new engine now,ffs.

any thoughts?
