  • From the land of scouse

    Well I stumbled across here after buying an insignia last Saturday (1.6CDTI SRi auto in Shiny Rock) which amazingly I fell in love with during the test drive as I’ve been a Vauxhall hater (and previously owning a MK5 Golf which was dying, and a Saab 9-3 Aero which died)
    I’ve no idea how to put photos up on these things so here’s a link on Instagram


    Anyway, I’m Tony from Liverpool, got kids and the usual crap going on in life, and beside a wheel refurb (which I’ve moonlighted as a wheel technician) the car is absolutely faultless

            86?? I'm not that old!

            But thanks, been here a while, just been lurking. IIRC your rear light mod was the reason for joining haha which worked great! (Other than wire colours on the passenger side was different)

              89 sorry...typo

              Yeah the colours were different when I originally did that write up but a few told me the colours were different. I thought it must have just been my Insignia Energy with the other colour so I chenged the how 2 to show the more common colour. Its an odd one.

                  Thanks guys, unfortunately my first mod is going to have to be paint repair because people in our work are inconsiderate bastards and bump into your car but don’t let you know

                    Bastards! You can't park anywhere now without some dick scraping or bumping your car. Mine's been done twice now so I feel your pain.

                      Yes mate, got blue paint on the wing mirror on Monday (I got the car Saturday bare in mind) and last night white paint on the bumper where some arse in his BMW has pulled into a space forward, if only I’d have seen it when I was getting into the car at work instead of home because I’d have repaid the favour and then some

                          I still would if you know the culprit and they park there again. A bradawl in every sidewall should do the trick.

                            Yeah I don’t know the owner, but I definitely know the car, can’t wait to see it again after I’ve asked security for cctv (which they won’t because it’s not the managers car park)
