Very nice.
I didnt think much of black turinis on the cup but yours looks awesome.
Getting my wheels refurbed soon on my cup, was going straight silver but you have just put a spanner in the works ;)
They look 100 times better, good work.
Mine have exactly the same problem, need to find someone with a machine polisher to help me out.
The chocolate steering wheel comment amused me :)
Thanks mate, only used the new SLR on Auto so far, not really had a proper play with it.
Love your car by the way, was reading a thread you put up a few weeks ago of some pics of yours. Looks great. Want some Sportlines for mine
Thanks guys!
Hoping to get the wheels refurbed in the next month.
Going for silver again, but maybe with a bit of a flake possibly, so they stand out and shine but still look more or less standard.
Need to get myself a decent panel filter too.
Thanks again for the comments
Thanks for all the replies guys :)
Yeah I dont think the exhaust is a K-tec, unfortunately.
Looks like mild-steel rather than stainless maybe?
Well at least it seems slightly uprated and not out of place.
Sounds good though, nice and throaty when you give it some.
I'm loving the cup...
Basically I have a Sony CDX-GT929U which I had in my previous car (Vectra GSi).
I had a Connects2 adapter for that which enabled the steering wheel controls to work and the dash display to work in a fashion lol.
Because the cd player is a reasonably recent model, Sony apparently didnt make make...
Well had the cup over 3 weeks now and I'm so happy with it.
Sorted some of the things that really needed doing...like a good service, feels 100 times better now, 2 of the plugs were nackered and it really needed new oil. Had the gearbox linkage lubricated too as 1st and 2nd was very stiff...
Almost rang about this car when I started looking, stunning car. Was a bit out of my price range though.
Got a standard cup in the end and I love it.
I also paid the higher end of the scale for a Cup....but its in excellent condition and has been looked after very well, so I dont mind paying...
Found it on pistonheads Gaz.
Dont think the guy I bought it off was an "enthusiast".
Owner before him was though, kept it clean and standard. Dont think he was on forums though
I've just bought a 172 cup, had it a week now.....I love it!!
Awesome performance. So quick...the noise, the feel, the acceleration, altogether its such a thrill. And it looks great too
My last car was a 2000 Vectra GSi, 2.5 V6 with around 200bhp. The clio would run rings around it
Nice one that would be really cool.
I have a question about panel filters...which one is recommended?
After being a vauxhall man for a while I'm not totally clued up on which manufacturers are best.
I've heard K-Tec, ITG and Pipercross may be decent to look at?
Just want to help it breathe...
Same as her mate..McMillan...lol
Yeah the vectra was a great car, looked gorgeous.
Had Jamex coilovers put on it, reduced body roll massively, but was a heavy car. I wanted something smaller and nippier to drive. Always liked bigger cars but realised that if I wanted fun it had to be a small...
Thanks.
It went for £3k in the end.
Great cars, brilliant value for money. Plenty of performance from the V6, sounds great too.
Have a look on VVOC.com. I've been a member on there for ages and theres often some good ones for sale.
