    Should be still under warranty. the 122bhp TSI engines said to be more robust than the higher HP. Price sounds about right too presuming you value the TSI engine and the kit. New ones have been reduced in price considerably but the one you're looking at is a pretty good model compared to the basic ones.

    Aero kit is about 4k extra for the full one. The tsi suits the car well. But if it's got anything bigger than 16's on it the ride will be very hard. I have 17's on mine and it took a lot of trying out different tyres to get it in anyway decent

    That sounds like a great deal to me TBH. I have the 07 1.6 and i'm fairly happy. although the ride is fairly hard on 17" rims.

    Looks almost too good to be true. I'd check it out properly before handing money over. They are original BBS alloys too. That car would have been about €27k new. It will be a boneshaker on 18's though. It takes away from the car around town - fine on the open road but I wouldn't touch it if you'll be using it in the city mostly. It rides and steers really well on the standard 16's though. I've tried bridgestone potenzas, Pirelli P6000's and PZeros and Dunlop Sport Maxx. On my second set of Sport Maxx now. Best for wear, noise and grip mix
