The second car does appear to have the 18'' monzas, but I think they have a painted finish similar to the 17's

Also, I'd be sh1tting myself if the Xenons broke.


That's what the warranty is for...  :happy2:
.........but runs out sometime. If the car feels right then go for it. Mine dosen't have the highline  or leather or xenons but the car was right when i looked at it so went for it,nearley a year on & it's still a fantastic car that goes like stink.  :happy2:

Quite frankly, I wouldn't go too nuts over the options list imho. It basically depends on what you want for the car.

Personally, mine was relatively poverty-spec (although my wishlist was quite long originally!)

Mine has -

17" - actually prefer the ride, although Monza II look nicer.
Lux pack 2
Midline computer - had an Audi S4 Avant prior and tbh, never really used it! Nice if available, but certainly not a deal-breaker.
Crappy RCD300 with 10 speakers - have ripped this out and installed an F900bt. Don't like the RNS510. Speakers have been upgraded and a sub installed in the wheel arch.
No Xenons - my eyesight is sh1t anyway. Super lights aint gonna make any difference!! LOL!!
Armrest - I loved mine in the Audi, so was happy to see this addition.
Cloth interior - saw a lot of leather interiors that looked very tired on young cars.
DSG - kinda like marmite (love it or loathe it). Me? Not overly impressed tbh.
No winterpack, nor mfsw (don't need it as I have my own stereo and iphone/bluetooth!)

However, mine's a nice base for some modding (see my car in the members section).
AND it was cheap with LOWWWWW miles :happy2:

So see what you can live with (and without) - go from there!

Hey, thanks for such a wide response has realy given me something to think about! I am swaying with what dano has been sayin in terms of the options. Some of the extras dont seem to have much of an effect on me tbh as i can live without mfsw and leather. and also i am hoping for little bit of a project. But whatever i get in the end im sure i'll be happy with and for sure will put some pics up!

Thanks again for all the help

It doesn't have to. I have the VW balance left on mine then it will be extended.
Only 250.1bhp - but with that noise, who cares?
