I have just bought a Cannon 350D the weekend and as I didnt want to pay highstreet prices for flash memory over teh weekend and wanted to try the camera I bought a compact flash to CD adapter in Maplins to use with a couple of

Need to think carefully what 53FabiaVRS has said for sure. If money was not an option I would go for the Focus RS, however even f I couldn't afford it really I would probably still go ahead and maybe regret it!!! - However the Focus RS is a real raw drivers car in my mind, a normal hatch shoehorned with enthusiasts goodies that just about fit, a real one off. The Fabia special edition is a upspeced Fabia RS - a great well put together reasonaly priced reliable fun car with good performance, handling and economy, howver it will never turn as many heads in my opinion than a Focus RS, but that element will by the sound of it not come cheap to maintain over time BTW My nethew has a Focus RS and loves it.

As a member, agree with you totally ugluk- Its also true that the Skoda Owners Club has no issue with any other make of car, or its members owning any other make, its a car club for like minded people with an interest in the Skoda brand.

cant remember there being a specific identifier on the car although they did come with a certificate I believe detailing the number out of 100 IIRC

I have heard the opposite from mechanics - they say customers cars are, especially ones with 215bhp tons of torque:rofl:

Thanks Lummox edited to include rear info - for some reason I assumed front ....I must learn to read

Thanks for making the effort of uploading the pics some great shots, colour will probably look better when de-waxed:thumbup:

Didnt check the example that just counted 10 from left on my chassis numbers as detailed in the text i.e The tenth digit indicates production location

10 th digit doesn't seem to tie up, seems to be the 11th digit on my 3 cars that ties up with above my Superbs 11th digit is 9

IU9 807 423A (A denotes its the estate variant of the item)

Its easily replacable unclips from bumper, done mine on my estate after buying a replacement bump strip in CZ dont know the cost in UK- I also changed the internal trim also.

Nail, screw stone etc in a tyre is a possibility

Re this one I would expect them to stick to this limit and would think it a bad example to do anything else, I am sure if they exceeded it a few complaints would be sent or phoned in to report them, or it would encorage people to go past even faster as they would say to themselves "if they can break the law so can I". I am sure they have a bit of a chuckle at traffics behavious i.e dropping in or creeping past
