I really like the look of them, but they've gone all Lexus with the lights with not knowing when to make them stop.

Pigeons are fair game all year round https://basc.org.uk/cop/woodpigeon/

We've got some really juicy looking ones around us... would be delicious roasted!

Getting rid of that nest box might alleviate the issue, Wiil.

no we get lovely finches nesting there, their poos are not worthy of my wrath, the bloody wood pigeons though....

How was depreciation free driving?

Feel your pain, as I park under this tree 95% of the the time, my car stays clean for 20 minutes before my friendly local wood pigeon poos all over it

If my next door neighbour wasn't a twitcher and has an amazing cctv setup I'd have shot the blighter long ago....

I changed the plate before anyone calls me a chav

would park my car under that tree for them views

Lotus Elise Sport 220 (MY17.5)
Elise Signature Blue
Black Pack (transom, roll hoop, access cover)
Black cast wheels
Stereo (with 2 speakers & BT)
Air Con, Noise Cancellation, Carpets, Cruise Control
Black Alcantara with silver stitching
Alcantara steering wheel

My first 'build to spec' ever, but means it's perfect for me.

When I take some better pics I will share.

Very, very happy with this, significant upgrade from the 1.6 and loads of nice little improvements in every area (as well as obvious the big one in power).

EDIT: Guess I need to update my signature!

Awesomesauce!

Collected my new Insignia Grand Sport this morning. The colour is Darkmoon Blue, which looks great in the bright sunshine we are experiencing at the moment. Feels like a good step forward from the old car. You can definitely feel the longer wheelbase and wider track on the road.

Looks smart

Jez · 19 Jun 2017 at 10:15

It looks very smart (well done vauxhall on that, it does look good), but i do hate this trend toward expensive tyres on cars like this. With the combination of Vauxhall insisting on belt driving their engines and things like that, they really are narrowing in on the running costs of more premium stuff.

Howard · 19 Jun 2017 at 10:29

Much nicer looking than the old one, that. Looks a lot like the Mazda 6, with a hint of BMW E63. I look forward to trying one as a hire car some time

When I got my 2010 Elite it came with Contisport tyres. Deal in place with Continental? Can't say they were the best tyre for the car as I changed them later to different ones and the handing felt much better.

I actually did a double take thinking it was a 6 series

What is wrong with the rear window glass?

It's tinted (or am I missing something?).

wedrum · 19 Jun 2017 at 12:30

Does look very Bmw
Those wheels are terrible though

The door has two bits of glass and the rear quarter is another bit of glass, so three bits of glass together, looks like if you open the door with the window down you have 3/4 of the door with the window open and the back 1/4 with glass still in it?

It does look like that's the case, well noticed. Odd choice from Vauxhall!
