Boring Summer Evening Snaps

[Rob]

Took the mrs for an evening blast down to whitstable last night, got a bit of fish and chips and walked along the beach. Also managed to get the car s**t all over and kill half of the SE's flying insect population... Combine that with being bored this afternoon and finishing in the garden, and I ended up washing it and popping out for some pics.

It's recently had new kidney grilles, headlights, rear badge, just little bits and bobs.

Plan is to hopefully fit a facelift front bumper and be done with it near enough, except for a half decent iPod interface that I've never got around to.

C&C welcome. (except for if it's about tyre shine, f**k tyre shine)

I really really love these. They remind me of an english bull terrier, very ugly but beautiful!

 

[George182]

Looks really really smart

(Nice pictures - want to take some of mine )

 

[Cub.]

Love the bus.

The other wheels are better. (Please don't ban me).

You're well local, so sure... :slap:

Not yet mate, not yet.

 

[The Boosh!]

These have aged really well!

 

[Gray]

These have aged really well!

I was just thinking the same.

 

[Matt W]

Looking great. Every time I look at photos of yours it makes me look on autotrader for one.

 

[_Tom]

Are there any sort of more aggressive but OEM front bumpers for these?

 

[Rob]

Other than the plate, it's quite hard to tell it's 11 years old tbh. Shame I can't find a perfect plate I really want.

There's four bumper options, I have this one in the garage ready to go on (facelift):

Or there's this one (aero):

Or finally, the most rare and expensive option (//M bumper):

 

[DaveDreads]

Gay car driven by people with stupid hats.

It does look good though, aero bumper looks the best.

 

[Scrooge]

M bumper only I think.

Might be my screen but the pictures look a bit cold (probably is my screen)

LOL!

Aero bumper is loved by some hated by others. I love it at some angles, but sometimes it looks very awkward.

 

[Nick172Cup]

Meh. Average.

Let me know when you sell this please. Lol

 

[Sir_Dave]

M bumper is the best imho - but only if the car is fitted with an ITB fed S54B32 as standard.

If not, the levels of homo attributed to the fitment of such a part is quite high.

I'm either going facelift, or re-painting mine. Not sure yet.

I just like the more square faclift design, and the continuation of the lines in the wing are quite a nice touch.

LOL cheers mate, you might have to fight Ollie for it though.

 

[Nick172Cup]

He's promised to buy too many cars, he'll just end up driving his shicra around eh Cub. X

 

[Gally]

Still looking well Robbo, loved the colour of Matthew's though, lovely shape. Useable rwd is what I like. Nice SWB to throw around.

Aero bumper looks well, CSLs transform it.

 

[Cub.]

Only Budgies Beemer and this. And they will both be mine. (Cue evil laugh).

 

[Brookie.]

Love it mate. I still prefer the wheels that came on it when you bought it, but I certainly don't mind those.

You're still part of the CSL club? Still??

I almost bought some the other day and am now REALLY regretting it. Perfect almost brand new reps with tyres (decent make) for £900 in essex.

I do love the 224's though, the reason I keep putting CSL's off is that I don't know if I want 19's on it.

Love it mate. I still prefer the wheels that came on it when you bought it, but I certainly don't mind those.

Cheers Brookie, I may still have a full set in the garage

 

[George182]

You're well local, so sure...

I'd pop down - you aren't 'that' far!

 

[Munson]

Looked better with the hetero-spec rims

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Err...

Yawn ?

 

[gex23]

Looks good Rob.

Just bought a 3.0si myself.

 

[Alan]

Fine looking bus old boi, although the one you posted above on the CSL's is HOTT !!

 

[Ian_182]

Still a good looking car .

 

[StephenJ]

Love it, still looks so tidy.

 

[Rob]

Thanks chaps! I still really like it, which is odd considering how long I've had it now!

I can't decide now, totally fucked. I've seen a few silver roadsters with anthracite csl's and it looks just right.

If a good second hand set come up, I'll probably buy them and flog all my other wheels.

 

[Alan]

Iirc the lad off The Street wants another set for his Zed lol

He was on 108's highlander, don't be tar'ing me with that brush.

 

[Ali]

Nice Rob! I kind of miss my old one.. Being back in a two seater of later feels good! Love the lower driving position.

Must have been separated at birth, as; "this".

What have you got now then Ali? I loved yours (couldn't deal with black) but apart from that it was awesome.
