You should link your for sale threads to the Road Driving Stories forum. You'll be beating off potential buyers with a stick.

Fpmsl a Naith's post.

Not Will.'s though.

 

[Riad]

So how you finding scrubage on the BBS splits?

Also just wondering if you have noticed any neg drop inlet temp due to caf?

 

[Christopher]

When you sell it, will you be buying coilovers?

No. He's buying a fiat, fitting coilovers, map, seats, wheels. Then selling that to buy coilovers for the Meg.

 

[Christopher]

You joke, but that sounds like a good deal, compared to the finance deal he has.

 

[ForceIndia]

One fatal flaw. He's going to end up with Meg coilovers (V3 naturally, because he likes thinking about doing a track day). But no Meg.

Epix.

So epic, it's plural.

bit of an update, swapping for the 500 on friday at 2pm so was time to send the megane back to standard.

took the bumper off and took the feed out and the ktec panel filter out

these have both been sold to a friend who has an r26.

also did a little speedo video from 30-70


update on the abarth 500.
i went to look at the car last week and it had the 10 spoke 17inch wheels and i changed my mind, i really didnt like them so rang them up and asked them to swap them for the 5 spoke 17inch petal wheels (same value) they agreed to do this and said they wont charge me for the workshop time (£60 iirc)

came on these wheels

but i have swapped for these wheels

thanks

[JD]

[Ali]

[Englebert]

Nice. Love the Abarths.

 

[Gally]

The petals are better but those SS wheels are the dog balls.

Oh and white will look s**t, contrary to what Ali says.

Swap them and refurb them.

 

[lbrench]

i didnt really have a choice, the standard wheels are even worse imo.

will be getting the esseesse wheels hopefully which look like this

but i will get them dark red to match the mirrors or anthracite

[FlameR]

Dude, what do you do for a living to be able to afford to chop in an R26 and buy a 16 grand Fiat at 20?

the abarth looks pretty qwerky. Seats look comfy as fook

SILENCE! You drove a yellow puma for ages and have a haircut from a 70's progrock band! You're opinion is null void.

Strange colour!!! And not nice!

 

[Gally]

Stop posting lunar grey 500's! Your car is white the wheels will look shat!

Red wheels could be funky!

Do you understand how the side decal is red? It ties in with the mirrors and trim!

yes im not colourblind lol.

i think red oz wheels could be cool as it would match the stripe and mirrors like you said.

looking at red seats belts aswell or would that be a push too far?
