Whats wrong with banded steels? The storm gray VR was rotten the talegate was the only panel with no rust n then I took it for its MOT n it failed on quiet a few things and I just seemed pointless spending money on it plus it had been to the moon n back I don't know how many times.

Did you manage to salvage much from it for the new one?

The blue one had few things wrong with it when I brought it, the passenger seat wouldn't tilt, the glove box was broke and a couple of others bit but can't think what right now. I had all the parts off the grey one plus it had koni coilovers, pipewerx 6 branch manifold, high flow sports cat n system, crystal rear lights n the RS4 alloys. There was a few other parts on it like green stuff pads n drilled n grooved disks but I never took them off as I'm planning to fit 312mm front brakes oh an it had American cup holders which I put in, plus loads of other parts which were in better condition. I had to scrap it before I could strip it propley as the old dear didn't think it looked good in the garden in bits. Shame because I could have made some money out of it.

That is on Guernsey plates. Is that where it is now?

I wondered how long before some commented on that. I'm from Guernsey an moved to England 6 years ago, I was living down in summerset when I sold it about three years ago. Some fella from Bridgewater offered me 1500 quid for it but the Guernsey sea air had gotten to it an it had started to rot quiet bad the clocks and central locking had started playing up n I lost interest in it, so when I found a note under the windscreen wiper offering 1500 quid for it I shook the blokes arm off. He never took it for a test drive, heard it run nothing. Can't believe some people
