Looking good mate. Whenever I see a post by you I Allways think 'gavalaa' of Gavin and Stacy lol

One i took at work this morning. Though it looked quite mean.

 

[VR46-G@Z]

That looks lovely Dr Jekyll, I really need to do the washer blanks, looks so clean and minty fresh......:smile:

 

[Coops Mk1]

White wheels on for winter..... the idiots choice! :tongueout:

 

[Djw John]

Certainly an odd choice in this weather!

Mine is filthy just now, won't get a chance to do much about it for a while either

I put more up in here http://www.cliosport.net/threads/the-dirty-car-thread-winter-16-17.801638/

 

[Coops Mk1]

my other wheels are painted and mint, so wanting to keep them in decent nick. these are a bit scabby so just going to let them get completely ditched and then get them recoated next year if I decide to keep them!

Mint

Ahhhh lol.

[imprezaworks]

This was yesterday. Just took it inside to try some polish etc. Showroom worthy imo

 

[Stefan.]

Love it imprezaworks

Just not sure on the wheels

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah I get that tbh. In certain pics etc they look good but maybe a change after xmas. Maybe.

 

[mintno1]

Far too clean @imprezaworks for this time of year :smile:

 

[imprezaworks]

Nah I've washed and polished cars in the snow before now lol. If I didn't work where I do it would be dirty, maybe

 

[Jenesaisqoui]

Bonjour all,
A change in circumstances means it's likely that I'll be selling the 182 in the immediate future. The problem, however, is that I have absolutely no idea what it's worth on the current market. Anybody willing to advise/estimate?

Many thanks guys

A succinct summary:
94500 miles
Good service history w/ all belts in 2014
Very clean exterior and interior
New discs, pads and bearings
All mounts replaced and exhaust sealing kit applied
Snappy steering wheel
Ktec/Janspeed exhaust
Fatty induction set up
All interior plastics in new, unmarked condition
KTEC coilovers (seized grub screws on the rear that I'm still attempting to rectify)
Refurbished alloy wheels
HPI clear with printout

 

[imprezaworks]

2700 ish

 

[Jekyll]

I think less dan. I'd say 2300.

Cheers guys, if I advertise it somewhere in the middle, hopefully it'll muster some interest.

It was owned by Mossy before me, he's done a fantastic job at maintaining it and restoring all the interior parts with genuine OEM (non of this sand down and repaint business). I still a little time before I emigrate so hopefully somebody will bite, if not, I'll probably garage it for a few years whilst I'm away. The latter just seems a bit of shame though.

 

[bloke]

dependant on how many owners and what it's like under the bonnet i'd say that's pretty close to £3,000.

 

[imprezaworks]

Ah Mossy had it, okie dokie then. I stand by my figure or a touch more.

 

[VR46-G@Z]

Ive never understood why how many owners a cars had makes a difference to its value...... I dont care how many people have owned a car if its been looked after........ Thats deffo a £2500 upwards car id say....

in the real world it does make a difference, you've got two cars that are identical, one with two owners the other with thirteen 99.9% chance you'll go for the two owner car/that one will be the first to sell.

the 0.1% will say the other car just to be awkward troublemakers:tonguewink:

 

[imprezaworks]

It does matter, not to me currently as mine has been liked.

But to general public it does matter, same with FSH and all that jazz. Me personally normally keep a car ten mins, rb ive had 12 months.

 

[Jenesaisqoui]

:smiley:

Huge fan of the updated rear badges, such a small detail modernises the car hugely. Very nice mate

I think peoples suspicions get the better of them mate, it's a huge generalisation but to Joe public more owners = more faults in its former life. From personal experience this isn't the case, my Passat TDI had 11 previous owners and ran absolutely beautifully, turns out 7 of them were the same family passing the car from individual to individual.

 

[imprezaworks]

Agreed but working in the motor trade this seems and allways has been a talking point

 

[VR46-G@Z]

Im not disagreeing at all about the fact people like low owner cars, i just dont get it myself... It doesnt bother me one bit, service history and receipts for work done is all that matters to me.... I bought my Yamaha R1 when it was 7 years old on 3,800 miles, it was barely used at all, but had 5 previous owners.....! Still the best bike of that kind I was ever going to find............

 

[imprezaworks]

I've still been meaning to do that dvla form online to see who's owned my car.

 

[Djw John]

Spot the RB....

 

[Jekyll]

Ah sheeeet!

 

[imprezaworks]

My eyes, my eyes.

 

[Djw John]

I actually don't know how to clean it without damaging it now!

 

[imprezaworks]

Lol
