Must get some new pics done when the weathers warmer smile

How do you find the Insignia ? And what changed your mind over the RS?

smile yeah, would love to see them.
Loving the insignia at the moment and the main problem with the RS was I thought it looked quite basic inside compared to the insignia and I want a car I would enjoy everyday. I would prefer the RS on a track but for an all-rounder I chose the insignia smile

Who's rolling your arches 007? I take it it's the outer lip? A well-known arch rolling company ignored my request for a quote to roll the rear arches, then when I chased them for an answer they point-blank refused to do them furious

I know they're triple-skinned, but it isn't impossible!

Legend in Northfleet will do mine, but their is a risk of the paint cracking or the arches rippeling

Maybe better to clean her when you get there if you can - I'm surprised by how quickly my Monaro becomes filthy on a salty/ wet motorway irked

Looking forward to the pics though thumbup
