I do really love the look of this car. Shown it to the Mrs and its like she approved of the front lip, bonus that's now on my shopping list. Fancy selling it? Lol.

You think yours is expensive? I'm 23 pay £112 a month on insurance and I spend around £400 a month in petrol. I my work is 48 miles away so roughly 100 miles to work and back each day on average 16 days a month.

When your cars burning through the petrol even though my works about 5miles away it's a bit worrying! It still costs me over 350 in petrol a month maybe more if I decide I actually want to go somewhere.
Decided I'm keeping it for now, get the new exhaust and that done on Friday :) anyone selling or know of anyone selling projector headlights for a 5th gen ?

That is a bit worrying my work is a 12 mile round trip, I budget £160 for petrol for both cars and I'm usually within £20-40 quid of it by the end of the month. This is for work and out and about Glasgow, maybe the odd trip down to Ayr. What Miles are you actually doing to burn £350 in petrol? MPG?

If I drove my 5th to work every day I would be in that ball park as well. ~250 miles to a tank, 1 - 1.5 tanks a week at £70 each, averaging 22-25 MPG.

So a 10 mile round trip is 50 miles a working week, which should mean 5 working weeks per tank of petrol @ ~ 250 miles per tank. If it is using 350 quid in petrol to do that, sorry I'd spent a £5 and torch the thing!
