Hi guys thought I would show off my car.

118000 Miles
In general all round good condition. When i picked it up it was covered in ash and dog hair inside. The external paint had a very matt finish.

Interior is really good no rips what so ever.

Body is great solid everywhere.

I spent around 10 hours on her at the weekend and the end result is fantastic. i for one am pleased.

Future plans, 15" BBS or Alpina rims.

Cheers

Gareth

Looks great. Im not sure about the wheels either, look a bit 'plastic', but the car looks so solid.

Bet that car park is fun winkeye

I am located in Brighton, East Sussex. I really like it and the 'Halfords' wheels will have to stay until the BBS fund mounts up!

Any ideas what i use to get the dealer sticker decal thingy madoodaa off the rear window? Thinky paint stripper but this may cause a bad smell for days and I will probably have the major munchies after every journey!!!!!!!!

I am seriously considering getting a boot lid and standard IS small spolier. Unfortunately the someone fitting the big spolier drilled holes through the boot lid and the bolts holiding it on come in contact with the body! So need to treat and touchin the marks!

If anyone has a white one kicking around let me know!

Not sure what TSW's they are!
