Starting to show her age a bit paintwork wise, but still looking good, all being well should have had a full respray by the end of the year.

Enjoy......

Cheers guys, i've not clay barred it as the paint works a bit shabby at the moment so dont see the point, getting it resprayed at some point in the next 12 months.

Would love a tech 1 spoiler not keen on the tech 2 myself only reason its still on is because i need either a smooth boot lid or a tech 2 to take its place, been watching ebay for a bargain tech 1 cant bring myself to pay zone prices.

I have some tech 1 skirts waiting to be fitted but wont be putting these on untill i've had my respray

Had the plates on for donkeys now, over a year i think and never been tugged for em, tbh i think the old think i'm actully a german and cant be doing with the hastle/paper work of pulling a german driver lol

but that 12 months might roll over...even £40 on a clay bar, wet n dry, g3, and touch up paint, and a few hours care, will have it looking nice mate, its well worth doing, any bare type bits like that on the front corner, a sand down, treat, and primer/touch up paint it over, doesnt take much and will protect it that little bit more and make it that much nicer for this year

not sure how tech 1 skirts will look tho, i pondered it but swiftly decided against !
