It has been a C7 RS6, but I cannot find a photo in the colour I want.
So I SUPPOSE one of these will do.

I've been lusting after one for a long time, but I can't see me being able to get insured on one for a long time yet frown

A pre-chav' Prima racing kit for the X1/9

I really don't want to chop my car about but........
Thats the Daddy, the Dallara car. More info: http://www.sfconline.org.uk/models/icsunonove/icsu...
It is the same photo' Prima Racing used. No wonder the kit isn't available.

Today I'm considering buying a few lotto tickets...

i can see the appeal of the 1.2 TFSI cheap to run the performance on paper is respectable & would certainly hold its own(the current shape 1.2 TFSI 110bhp manages 9.9 0-62mph its quicker then the 1.6TDI 110bhp at 10.5) looking around the 1.2 is a rare car cool

I paid £800 to insure my 197 with 1 yr NCB.... but DC5 Teg's are apparently very expensive with them being an import. Always fancied one..... so cool and rare.

I get the point you are trying to make but that isn't the original design, is it?

The white one which is illustrated is a facelift which came about in 2009 and although not a vast facelift, it is still noticeable. If you have a look at a 2003-spec car, it is certainly starting to look its age. It isn't just the A3 which suffers, the BMW 1'er is a victim of the same thing.
