Decided a few week ago to take the plunge and buy a car I had wanted since I was about 12

Drove over a 400 mile round trip to get it and I couldn't be happier with it!




Averaged 47mpg too which I was over the moon about!

Finally gav

How was the drive back? Told you they were good on fuel, even when driving it properly

It looks a great example! More pics needed though.

Johnboosh put red leds in his numberplate lights, his argument is invalid.

Yes, I agree the wheels look great in silver, shows the spokes much better.

Any diluted APC should take the silicone off easily Gav.

3L always liked the look of these.

I hate that interior shine crap. AutoSmarts G101 I'm the right dilution will strip it off easyily. Then get some Poorboys Natural dressing. It smells amazing and is pretty cheap.

no mate, my seats are the standard ones. yours are the optional sports seats which look better and also hold you in better.

Yep what nutter said. Dash shine is the devil.

Just had a look and didnt realise how cheap these are now.
I was going to buy one but bought the vx220 instead. May have a dabble with one in the summer
