Phil, Glad your enjoying the mod. For all you guys wishing to fit this there's no need for superglue, mine has been on the car for the past 6 months through the winter and all the salt plus it also gets washed atleast 3 times a week!! Still stuck hard! Original discussion on this can be found on the 'other' forum below.

Cheers for the credit for the original idea Phil!

 Got used to driving again, insurance all sorted out, just cant decide whether to buy another ed.30/S3 or wait till prices fall further and bag a 135i !

good to hear, glad all is ok, what happened to the old car ?

Raj, get back into a GTi, go for maybe a pirelli, which is a real collectors as not many are around, some good ones on vw used car search , high spec for 19K.
Did you get a good figure from your insurance payout??

Phil don't like the pirelli's , if it is a GTi its got to be Ed.30 fully specced in white !!! Insurance paid out okay a bit over 19 , however i reckon they still undervalued it, the engineer told me that they paid 185 for the nav/system , it was a 1500+ option !!!!

Out of 2 mk5 Gtis, 2 have been crashed heavily !  still rate the safety of these cars however, solid, will save your life, i walked away from the ed.30 crash alive, if you saw the car you think i would have died inside.

i dont wanna be morbid Raj, but do you have any photo's of the old girl?? or too many bad memorys?

Totally agree on the safety front of the mk5, I genuinely think if I'd been driving something else when I had the prang, things might have been different
