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.

Pmsl. Saw the replica the other day on ads on here and I just fell in love and went n got it next day, Got the lambo doors on Audi so it's different as there so common

[beninuk]

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

[beninuk]

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.

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

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.

£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

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

[beninuk]

it doesnt really sound that bad, but this is why i am going to do a engine conversion on it and scrap the old mr2 one.

I was going to get a Evo 10 but couldnt get touched on insurance so i figured i might as well have something to work on

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...

The audi is running around 315 bhp but still needs another remap and needs a new throttle body ect + both cars are pretty good on fuel and if i was to buy something bigger and faster insurance would go up and so does the amount of petrol.

[beninuk]

i dont cruise about parking in mcdonalds or nothing like that, audi takes me from a to b and when replica is done i will take it out to shows a few times a year

[beninuk]

yeah of course i do lol

[beninuk]

just the 2 above as i use my audi every day, no reason for another car, yet.

[beninuk]

lol no

[beninuk]

tiered had to stay awake to keep a eye on the car all night

[beninuk]

if u spent 16k on the car that draws people to it and it was parked on a public road im sure you would watch all night
It has alarm and tracker so proabably couldnt go any where - but hey it was saturday night any ways!

the s3 looks hideous, the front looks like a cut and shut. The wheels don't fit the arches and from the front looks like one of those fake TT's.

The Ferrari looks very nice thou, not my taste would prefer a true sports cars, I presume 20k could of have slk amg, tvr etc..

But from what you say what people think is important to you.

the alloys on that picture are old and it has black 18" ones on it now.

Car is registred as Audi 1998 1.8t S its just not the quattro.

[beninuk]

yeah it is but its the lower speck engine amk and doesnt have the quattro

[beninuk]

the engine was around 200bhp standard, i have the s4 turbo, cold air feed intake, front mounted intercooler, full stainless powerflow exhaust, and i believe it was the 2nd stage remap with superchips.

[beninuk]

it has a full new body kit on and the grill is not from any car it was custom made.
