This isn't going to go well. Sorry OP. Brace yourself.

I was just about to say the same thing.

I'm not a Ferrari fan/expert, but I have to say that your replica looks like a pretty good one to my eyes. I don't like the Nurburgring sticker on it though. How do you keep it safe? It doesn't look like you live in an ...err... expensive part of town.

Welcome to PH. I hope you can handle banter...

I have secured underground car parking in Leeds city centre and the area ain't that bad but it does look out of place on the street. Had the coppers come round yesterday as they run it though and it showed as mr2 so they thought it was on a dodgy plate plus I'm only 24.

A faux dobbin & an Audi with wings isn't a million miles away from an afternoon stroll in downtown Tehran sporting your new Salman Rushdie fan club tee.

lol i meant around leeds and bradford all the s3's are white with a black roof but not seen one with lambo doors so just wanted it to be different to the other s3's

If you wanted to be different than the other S3's why not buy a car that isn't an S3?

a why pour money into it to give it the wker look?

got a lot of cash lying around you cant put in the bank

from the pics the fezza kit seams one of the better ones

at the time when i bought it i was only going to have it for a short while, as i was waiting for my golf vr6 to be completed but there was some issues with the engine in it so i just thought wat the hell and spent the cash on this one and sold that for few hundred quid as i didnt have storage at the time.

i suppose its all down to personal preference, i didn't want to go to far with the Audi but i wanted it to have the newer look, but i didnt want to over do it and this is why i have got my next project to start doing for summer.

Nice MR2!

Just kidding, I prefer MR2's without the dodgy bodykits.

[Pints]

Mind if I ask how much your insurance co. take from you each year, per car?

[beninuk]

£1800.00 on the Audi and that is with everything declared

£1400.00 on the Ferrari Replica (Declared as a kit car replica)

Had my licence for 6 years, 6 points SP30/SP80 and 2 yrs no claims

[jimslops]

Not to my taste. Sell both, buy 355.

Do you work in pharmacy?

No, 355 insurance would probably cost just as much as i did look at them but they just look to old and i wanted something that looks a bit more modern

Oh dear. I was about to call 'expert troll', but I fear the pictures are legit.

OP; don't you feel a wally when you fire up the 'Ferrari' only to be greeted with the sound of a 2.0 4-pot? That car is the automotive equivalent of putting balled-up socks in your pants.

And the S3 was a nice car without the silly lights and (heavy, pointless) doors.

Why not sell then both and buy something that actually goes well and looks good? And as for paying £1,400 to insure a fake Ferrari...? That's just nuts.

Still, I suppose you're doing your bit to support the economy...
