Just a few phone pics of the flamer looking a bit sorry for itself.

[Djw John]

It's not really getting used just now, crappy weather, halfway through a dash conversion and the worst tyres known to man for icy conditions mean that one of the other 3 cars usually gets picked. It's also blocked in by 2 cars a lot of the time and I'm pretty lazy!

However, today I had to nip over to Stirling and on the way home stopped off for just a couple of pics as I haven't for ages. I realise its not properly filthy but for a car that's not getting used its not a bad effort, those wheels are freshly refurbed underneath!

Looks good mate, needs the Sport badge on the back. OEM!

 

[Djw John]

I used to like the sport badge but when it started appearing on BMW M316 turbo sport gtr's 16v it had to go!

Your grill looks pink like mine used to, gota love flamers.

 

[Djw John]

In reality it looks brown/grey!

 

[arg_carra]

Gotta love a flamer

 

[Djw John]

Thats the sad thing, I still really do!

Been ages since I've driven it at all and certainly a long time since its been further than my work so despite it just being a motorway blast I still really enjoyed it! Stupid bumpy, loud, half interior'd car!

Character though

I know what you mean, mine sits in the garage for weeks during the winter but starts first time every time, can't beat that

 

[Djw John]

Exactly, it's got character by the bucketful. My battery is getting on a bit now and when it only just started and no more yesterday I realised it was time to give it a run.

+1

i got rid of mine too

 

[Djw John]

I was reluctant to until I was sat in traffic 1 day and a 316 compact on steelies pulled up next to me, 1 on the wing, 1 on the rear and I assume 1 on the other wing too, that was the end of it for me!

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

It really needs the standard side strips... Breaks it up!

 

[Djw John]

I think with dark wheels the standard strips work well but with silver I like them colourcoded. At least they aren't ph2 abortions.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Calm doon, darker colours suit the phase 2 strips.

Your's looks like a rep, a pish rep.

 

[yeecup]

I like colour coded side strips, get it washed!

 

[Djw John]

All the better for surprising others Like a black focus ST earlier today for example....

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Well thats true, the one thing i do miss about the Exclusive lol.

This imo. Or get rid of the Renault. (Albeit it'd be a ballache to do so)

Car looks good though matey.

 

[Djw John]

Come rub my hose, it's blocked solid

And naw, you're cheating!

 

[Djw John]

The badge isn't going back on for the foreseeable and sod getting the holes filled just for that. Maybe when it eventually gets its respray ill get both badges taken off but that's a couple of years away yet.

Me cheating, never mine is standard
