No I haven't sold it yet.

Thanks
Sold mine to someone on here for £60 which I thought was a fair price.

Sorry, I'm burning all my money on jungle juice for my GTi, it's not quite as economical as the V50 was! :-)

You going off the stealth look? I reckon your S40 looks good with the all black grill.

No, not a fan of the A3 really, I think the GTi has the perfect balance of performance, style and class.

Was tempted by the A4, but Audis these days are driven by the same sort of people who drive BMs and I couldn't bring myself to do it! The whole reason I bought the V50 was because I couldn't buy 3 series or an A4!

I'll try & do it this weekend. I know certain people were trying to give me a hard time but I genuinely was quoted mental prices, saw expensive ones for sale around the time I bought and obviously paid too much for it on here in the first place.

I was slightly riled by being called a chancer, but I guess you have to expect that on forums.

Thanks, I have plans for modding a standard grill ;-) , I've seen a US one where they've painted the chrome surround and slash black and it look pretty awesome so thinking about doing the same...

To be honest your never going to get £100 or over for it, if you paid that then unfortunately you've been ripped off, to be honest as I've said before they go for between £50-£60 depending on condition and most users on here know that, The one I sold was mint & as I've said I got £55 delivered. This is one of the better forums I've been on and I think people watch out for each other on here and were trying to save a 'newbie' paying over the odds for something...

I know for one I was just wanting to point out that you may have been over optimistic with the asking price, I wasn't having a go or trying to be a tw*t...

PM me a line when you've listed it and I may have a few bids if its cheap enough ;-)
