yeah girls get all the breaks when it comes to insurance...i wonder if one of my sisters could insure my lude and put me as a named driver :? :lol:
Well I've just renewed my insurance on the a3 this week - £236 :). Not for long though as I'm shopping for its successor which will not be as cheap to insure!

White wheels are very needy. They are a bugger to keep clean. And once they are stained with the brake dust they deteriorate very quickly.

Just looked at newkid's lude - there's a pic on there of the original wheels going in the same direction as mine...it seems I didn't start the trend after all :(

Remember this want be doing many miles though. I think if not the originals in white, I might have to shop around for something a bit bigger then - perhaps 17s. I'm sure there's lots of suggestions on this forum when I've found my way around!

first of all welcome to the site ;) and i had Pacific blue pearl ukdm and it is one of the best colours :)

but Vanzep please don't try the female insurance route ;) it was changed over a year ago, women get no special rates anymore ;) even shelia's wheels got done for insuring women only (if you notice their new advert :lol: )

it's just ukdm my one i had a quote for 117 quid but looked real bad so went for 174.00 in the end, just insurance companys don't like grey imports :evil:

found out as well that keeping car in garage now counts for nought and doesn't matter if your country or innercity ;)
she got this quote just on merit and not because there is any difference between gender or creed :D
good driving history counts for all :P

Hi and welcome to the forum. I'm sure you're going to enjoy having a 'lude on the road. Good luck getting it sorted. It's a tidy looking car.

Nice looking 4th you have.
17's are a popular choice for the lude, mine has them, you can see them in my profile down there:
