Options :
£200+ Stealership
£150 - Local VW specialist
£70 mate off VW forum that works for local VW & would do the service at the weekend in the VW garage - cant stamp as its all on computer & he'd be fucked if he stamped it etc say no more!
Unsure, will it really make a difference if a 100k+ 7yr old car has fsh much?
Cosmo's going to be raging we took over his thread
I would hate to sell anything to rob, it'd be up for some scrutiny 
Just go for the mate at the VW garage imo, just keep hol of receipts for the bits. It aint gonna matter, I wouldn't be put off if I saw 'looked after by VW technician' or similar if I saw it had been looked after in other areas .

tbh, I think a specialist would do a more 'proper' job than a dealership.

They probably would but I'm one of those people that feels somehow happier to pay more to get the nice stamp

A few things were actually suggested I hadnt thought of - although I do tend to agree with Robbo about an M3, but dont tell him.
Amazingly no one has actually mentioned one of the three cars I had in mind - the one that was actually out in front for me - and not sure what to make of that May have to keep it quiet for now and see if one comes available. I'd of bought an S2K by now though if I'd of found a white one

A £15k M3 sounds awesome but then you realise that every M3 you see etc. is a fully loaded one and you'll be disappointed when you see a plain one with the non chrome 18s, a TAPE deck etc etc lol

RX7's are more 7/8k arnt they?
I still maintain a 15k M3 would be an awsome car, though not as flashy as a newer specced one!

Plus I think I'd feel ashamed having it sat in the drive next to a CLS AMG, and possibly an M6 if he goes and buys one of them too.
