I don't know much about his R5 tbh. Don't think it is a 1.4 anymore though 
Yer were massively behind on new cars this month so were all getting called in left right and centre. Pain in the arse but the pay makes it worth it I guess

Car looks good, power is nice and smooth too.
The R5 has a F4R 2.0 engine, so guessing its probably 2.0 or close to that anyway.
Should be epic once complete!

Well as iv got a littlun due early feb sllthough my 320d is a fantastic car I'm not convinced when there a pram in the boot it'll leave me much space for anything else..... So I bought myself another toy which I'm sure will meet some people's approval I'm planning on using it as a joint daily but I reckon ill end up selling the bmw as I think it'll make sense as I doubt it'll get used enough to warrant keeping it
Its a 1.8 petrol full gsi kit resprayed to match mint arches and bottoms of doors gsi steering wheel interiour coilovers gsi wheels recently refurbed irmy grille irmy double d back box etc nice looking car so I snapped it up!!! The piks are the ones off eBay I haven't collected it yet as the bloke is waiting for a reg transfer as it had a private plate as soon as it's done I'll go and pick it up
Plans are wind deflectors hids tow bar and some light tints
Can't wait to pick it up especially as it's bought and paid for allready

Picked the vectra up last night guy had it stored in his garage for me since the day I purchased it, couldn't believe how clean the car is not a dent or mark in sight paintwork smooth as silk interiour fully valated not one mark or bit of dust anywhere no bolster wear underneath is mint too and even comes with service history and recent Cambelt history which wasn't in the auction description!
I'm allways a bit wary when I buy a car on impulse without seeing it but this is certainly worth while I cannot believe how clean it is I'm made up
I'll get some pictures at the weekend when I give it a wash as it's dirty from the drive home now
