K03s turbo (180) rather than a small k03
insurance will be more on the k03s not sure on tax though

As Barry says, the AUM is 150bhp and has a ko3s. Your new one will also have bigger brakes, but that's pretty much it in terms of differences.

312mm front brakes, 256mm rear brakes and 6 speed box are the main giveaways. There might also be a few extra creature comforts on the car as VW would have wanted to shift all the highline parts due to the mk4 production coming to an end

So my new car will have 312mm front discs? I got a 180 AUQ

Does anyone know any history on my car? LR03 VNF

insurance was £50 dearer
