[Matthew]

That would be very nice indeed :approve:

 

[chris_p]

[Matthew]

[RoryW]

You have an andrive unit don't you Chris?

 

[RoryW]

An aux input. Enable aux mode on your stereo so you can play mp3, iPhone etc

 

[chris_p]

You have an andrive unit don't you Chris?

Nope, standard business with cd changer iirc!
Im going to dust the camera off later, maybe even some interior shots

Pop me a message on e46zone chap

 

[Matthew]

Ahhhh I have an AUX in option.

Thanks anyway though!

 

[RoryW]

Somewhere theres an input then. Usually glove compartment on right hand side if it was bmw installed

 

[Matthew]

Found it. It's to the right of the climate, under the dash.

 

[RoryW]

Result there fella

 

[RoryW]

Wait is it just a dash mounted female socket or does it have a small black panel around it?

 

[Matthew]

I'll get a picture when I'm next in the car mate.

 

[Matthew]

There aren't enough pictures in here.

Here's two from this monring...

[Coby.]

Gorgeous colour.

 

[HarveyT]

Nice car mate, stunning colour aswell! Bet you cannot wait for summer in that beaut!

 

[Rob]

Properly epic colour there.

 

[Matthew]

Thanks! It's a lovely blue to be honest. It's called Monaco and its very similar to the Clio Monaco blue also.

 

[Rob]

It looks about 50 shades darker! I'm a big fan though.

I think I've made up my mind that I'm going to buy a facelift 3.0 when I get rid of mine. I really like the car so it makes sense to go a little faster and newer/less miles.

 

[.Andy.]

That really is a wonderful colour!

 

[Matthew]

One thing that's annoying me: no bloody cubby holes to put anything!

What is in the centre console? Is it the phone thing? You can replace this for 2 cup holders. I did this in my e46, £40 from BMW

 

[Matthew]

I don't think there is anything in the centre console?

Am I missing something here? Ha

 

[Crybert]

Haha probably not. I was just guessing there was something there...

 

[Matthew]

Its just a sold transmission tunnel (I'm guessing). I miss the golf's many many cubby holes ha.

 

[Matthew]

Decided to get my arse in gear this morning, and gave the car a good wash, clay and polish. Came up really well actually, and there aren't as many stone chips on the front bumper as I had thought

Also confirmed the colour is indeed Monaco Blue, and the list of options...

The colour doesn't photo well at all, looks more black but its very blue in the metal.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

I've said this before, the shape is timeless. I seen a red Coupe the other day in 3.0l guise and i was fairly impressed!

 

[imprezaworks]

Looks really good.

 

[leeds_182]

Looks ace with the roof down.

 

[Matthew]

It's ace with the roof down, especially at night .

 

[Coby.]

Looks great, The only thing I'd be tempted by is to fit a twin pipe at the back, Current offering is a bit pony.

 

[Matthew]

Agreed. Might look at a better exhaust down the line.

 

[Gally]

Matthew that is a superb looking little car, the colour transforms the shape. Bit like Ali's Z4CM in Carbon Black, similar to Monaco.

The fact it's 2.0 makes it even cooler to me. It's sorta like the Zetec S step to ST.

Badges off the wings and a tasty exhaust system even a custom something to offer some top down noise. The interior like Rob's still looks modern. Has aged very very well.

 

[deutsche_blonde]

Looks really nice that!

I'm aching to get another next year. I can recommend small spacers for the rear, i find the MVII alloys hide in the arches a bit. The small reflectors on the arches/wings also really annoyed me, they seem to spoil the lines at the front.

Mine, post spacers and reflector removal:

 

[Matthew]

Thanks Gally, the colour really is superb (although its hard to photograph well).

The 2 litre "issue" hasn't bothered me once since I've had it. Infact, I find my self driving it faster and harder than I drove the GTI.

It's strange.

 

[daydotz]

Nice

 

[Matthew]

Seen as though I have so far been unable to photo the colour, I decided to grab a few under lights which really shows the purple in the colour. Only rubbish iphone ones but you get the idea

Im absolutely loving the car, it's more like an event when you go out, unlike an A to B car like a Clio or a Golf.
