  1. All the clips and stuff from memory was from the grill side. The only thing on the wing side I can think that would hold it is the seal. If everything else is undone should just need popping out. I tapped mine until I got mad and gave it a bit of a crack and that was it came out :)

  2. I don't think it's bad, the spoiler wouldn't worry me I'd only get rid for an STI version spoiler anyway. from the pictures it all looks clean and tidy. The fact he won't come down on the price could be a good thing. mileage I've seen people at near 200k miles without engine rebuilds had someone sign up last year that was pushing 185k miles from new. But know what you mean I have a thing about cars with 100k miles on scares me :D

  3. Looks good I'd maybe keep the rear lights I don't mind them but would want tinted windows :D I love tinted windows, have to get the rust sorted out but not the end of the world and would say be hard pushed to find many now that don't have it around that age on the rear arches. 

    Bit more than I would have wanted to pay but I'm pretty bad with prices always want things cheap :D 

    But would want to see the car with 130k miles 

    and see paperwork for clutch and other work 

  4. That car looks good shame about the dealer they even have a nice website with some high end spec cars :( 

    But I found with people like that they don't care for the cheaper car's. As I found out when I went to Bradford to look at a hawkeye

    sales people didn't give me the time of day when I told them what I was there to look at, and was parked around the back with the reject cars with Lambos Ferraris all the 80k+ cars at the front. Car was nice and I think I would have bought it if they hadn't been so damn snobbish I felt happier walking away then buy it :( 

  5. Here you go Audis worst for breakdowns too 

     

    German cars are not as reliable as their reputation suggests. That's according to one warranty provider, which has studied its database to reveal the makes of cars most and least likely to have engine problems.
    Warranty Direct, which with 50,000 policies on its books is the UK's leading supplier of direct consumer warranties, claims that Audis, BMWs and Volkswagens have some of the least reliable engines available.
    Indeed, among the cars owned by its policy holders, the only engines to have failed more than Audis were those from the now defunct MG Group. In total 1 in 13 of MG Rover motors failed in the past year, and problems presented themselves in 1 in every 27 Audi engines. Mini was the third least reliable with a failure rate of 1 in 40, while BMW finished seventh (1 in 45) and Volkswagen ninth (1 in 52).
    The most reliable engines came from Honda, with a failure rate of just 1 in 344, with Toyota in second (1 in 171) and, maintaining some honour for the German brands, Mercedes in third (1 in 119).
    The company also pointed out the high cost of repair that can be associated with engine problems. In its highest claim, which was for a Range Rover Vogue, an engine failure cost £12,998.46.
