Picked this up this morning, my second ever car, bit different from the 1.2 8V corsa I've had for 7 years 
Still got the corsa though
Plus sides more power, negative sides, with all the aids there's less feel back through the wheel of what the wheels are doing.....need to find a damp roundabout
Plans are simple,
New wheels - need suggestions maybe mark 5 Golf GTI
Uprated Brakes
Uprated Suspension
and thats it, paintwork is mint on the car, really is like a mirror

Its semi removeable anyway but with renovating a house its a must for the time being; also got a boat to tow and a trials bike to tow as well. It'll be staying for the time being.
Steve, It is just power steering and the need to get used to it but the power hike from a 1.2 8v to this is enough for the time being and it seems to be returning better fuel economy as well 
Anyone got pictures of subtley modifed A3s, especially in black

It looks really well and plans sound ok, good buy

86k £4000 but been in the family from new, just had major service plus new shocks/springs, disks, pads etc all round.
I was suprised that I got an average fuel consumption of 39 miles/gallon today and I didnt hang about. The corsa was returning 29/30
