I actually prefer the darker wheels

Admittedly, I missed that off my list. In fact, I can't remember whether I have SRP or G3 polish. Nor can I remember ever polishing the TT :LOL:

Already got polish and wax in my box, but ran out of applicator pads. I know it needs a detail really, but I just want to get together what I can and try to keep it as clean as I can before spending £300 on a paint correction. Cheers for the other links, will have a look at those.

So, ECP have a sale on at the mo (so do DFS) so thought I might grab some extra bits I've already got 2 buckets, snow foam, AG shampoo, lambswool washmit and a large drying towel. Does anyone have any recommendations for clay? The car is in need of a run over it after 12 months of being...

I like black grills, but the double blades just look a bit Bradford

Jesus, they look pikie as f**k. Might as well go for under the car neons too

White has to be the best colour for the 197/200

Well done on an epic purchase and you can look back at this thread to see all the hard work that's gone in. Long may it continue in your hands. Any plans for it? Modding or keeping it OEM?

Knock is probably the lollypop bushes on the front arms

Saw this lastnight. What a f**king presence those things have on the road

I'm never buying another car from Scotland. No offence like :ROFLMAO: I've noticed some have projectors, and some don't. Were they optional extra?

I'm really falling for the 197's at the moment

I'd not stretched my views up to the 200 really, but they seem to have come down in price a bit now. Its really weird, like, they must have been an optional extra because there seems to be no rhyme or reason why some have them and some dont

This may be a silly question, but did the 197 not come with xenons as standard? The majority of the ones for sale on trader/eGay seem to have halogen headlights. or was this a cup version thingy?

I had the best of both worlds, 309 GTI front arms/driveshafts and rear beam on my 205. That added a fair bit of width to the car and really improved the handling.

On the turinis?

233k, nice. My old 320d had 251k on when I sold it

It just works so well on the Ph1. I think it's the black bumpstrips breaking it up which really make it

Anyone ever owned one of these? There's something about them that I've always loved. Chavvy yes, appealing, very. Obviously Arden Blue is the most popular choice over black or silver. Are they a strong lump? Do they respond well to fettling? Are the gearboxes made by Cadbury?

Driving it how it should be driven. Pointless owning these things and them being garage queens. Granted it looks a bit of a state, but I bet he has the time of his life in it and, if it gets restored to it's former glory, all the best to him. But on 165k, it's never going to win concours is it

That's why I did the chains on mine rather than breaking it. Yes it cost a fair chunk, but like you say, decent ones are on the up for that reason. I know a few breakers and they are pulling TTs to bits like no tomorrow

Pretty sure you can only do that on the LCi models, no?

TT prices are all over the place at the moment, mainly because there are some minters, and some utter dogs about. I test drove a few before I bought mine. Knowing you @Ant1 and the way you like to hoard classics, I'd say look for either a QS, or a manual V6

Yeah, was dropped 40mm on some springs only. Drove nice.

Jesus. That went quick. Not suprised at that price though

Sparkling graphite is a lovely colour once polished up. I miss my E91. Get some bumper splitters and some M359 wheels

You've bought some utter cod piece cars in the past, but f**k me this takes the biscuit. When's it getting lowered?

Decat the fucker

Is all it needs is bodywork? Any other issues? How much are you asking? @terryc101

Is the full exhaust stock @Ant1 ?
