    The journey so far... 2016 B14NET (1.4T) SRi Nav S/S

    Bought totally standard back in early March 2018 from a main dealer.
    15000 miles, 2 service stamps. Absolutely immaculate throughout. I gave £10.500 for it

    So managed to negotiate a deal to get the Buick Regal grill from the states so that was next along with the fog surrounds being painted...

    Roll on another 2/3000 miles & decided that I've had enough of the Buick Regal grill & bought the Facelift Irmscher grill instead so sold the Buick grill, fitted it to a pals Insignia & fitted my Irmscher grill at the same time

    At this point I'd done around 6000 miles so decided it was time for a full service..
    All new Iridium plugs, filters (apart from the air filter), oil change & coolant flush.

      Keep up the good work I do like red but also keep an eye open for nice soft RUG, made me shudder seeing bumpers on hard block paving.

          Looking good!

          I like the wheels. Not a great lover of the regal grill so nice to see the irmscher one go on. Some don't like after market wheels on the insignia but I don't mind them. I do prefer the Griffin caps in the middles though. Even on after markets. Any plans to replace them?

            I quite like the "regal grill" wonder if they do them in chrome, not a black fan,

                Already changed them pal... changed the wheels again so will be getting rid of the others I think...
