yeah car looks very very clean, nice, good find mate. Alll original,. seems like no one has messed around with it, either.

Lucky man, well that depends on the mileage, like e30topless said must be low, oh and the price tag must have been pretty steep!

But overall seems like a wicked car, well done mate :thumb:

Oh those wheels in your garage would look awesome on that car, if they fit it that is...

thanks for the comments guys i purchased the car off a really nice chap called louis hemming from worstershire about 4 months ago i'm from fife in scotland so it was a bit of a trek down for me and my mate especially when we had to go a further 60 miles down to get a set of diamond cut RS7's for his sierra cosworth but it was well worth it. When i saw the car i knew i was going to buy it but not for the price he was asking for it seeing as the paint work needed i bit of attention but with me being a prepper and painter i work out how much the work would cost and started to haggle i ended up getting the car for a pretty reasonable price seeing as its only done 101,000 miles. so when i got it home took it down to my work was only in for 3days got it back buffed it with 3m finnese it awesome stuff then hand polished it with auto glym super resin and its now perfect. Oh yea those wheels in the garage shakeele30 are my 16" bbs rs replica's i'll put pics of the car with em on it later they look stunning!!

thanks again chaps :D

Lovely looking car you got there. You can join hubble and beardymatt's mint sterling club :). Nice to see another in such good condition that's not being molested. Nice find! :cool:

thanks chaps i did have the red tinted tail lights on it and they looked good but i must admit the standard rears on a car as clean as this look a million times better so the only mods really are the stainless scorpion back box which was already on it and i'm defo keeping it on it because it sounds incredible and the bbs rs reps which are lenso's but there a spot on rep and look awesome on it even without the car being on aftermarket lowered suspension. As i said before i'v only had it for about 4months and i am totally in love with it already infact my girlfriends starting to get a little bit annoyed as i am spending more time with the sport than i am with her!! winkeye

You're most welcome. Thanks for your kind comment too

I'm currently using Zymol Concours at the mo and have a pot of Destiny quietly waiting i the background. It's Incredible stuff, but as mentioned in a previous post it's all down to the prepping. A good polish Like 3M or Menzerna will bring out the best in our finishes. AG SRP tends to fill in any swirls which is defeating the object really.

Prepping the paint start with a good Clay bar, HD cleanse or another polish like 3M then finish with a good wax.
The zymol stuff an be found here:-
