Cheers mate :D

They need a good clean at the moment! Not been done since that show.. Haven't had the time :(

Get them off after summer and do a detail on them. I do mine for winter & summer and use a good wheel wax so that the dirt can just be pressure washed off :)

Just trawled through your RR to find the Airtec intercooler (took me ages) lol. Does look good in black and the stealth is very oem..... I just don't know if I wana be a chav with it on show.... I am welsh after all ahaha :)

I used Gtechniq C5 wheel armor on them before they went on and it makes them pretty easy to clean, when I do it :whistle: Come winter the car will be in the garage again anyway :)

Haha! :D Personally I got bored of the silver cooler behind the mesh, not to mention the niggles I had with the old fmic I ran. I prefer it stealth now, looks more grown up and subtle. But that's what I like. Go for whichever you fancy. You can always get the silver one and spray it black if you get bored of it one day mate.

Just renewed the tax on the car today, but only just....... I was very closing to declaring it SORN.

Currently it's not running right and has sat on the drive for a week doing nothing. Car will idle funny with the revs bouncing up and down and then last weekend it cut out on the drive. Fault code I'm getting is this:

17950 - Angle Sensor 1 for Throttle Actuator (G187): Implausible Signal
P1542 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent

Need to get it sorted and find the love again I guess.

I literally don't use this car barely at all these days, and to make that worse I've changed my gym so I won't even do those journeys. Should be good to buy a house next year which takes priority :)

That is far more important, and I'm getting bored of the car scene in general. I've only renewed the tax for 6 months with a view to selling up at the start of 2014.

Funny you should say that I sat down and worked out how much I'd hope for parts if I broke mine. Problem is I'm enjoying the car seen. I've some really cool people and enjoy the escapism (I don't get out enough!). Are you going to Action?

Sorry to hear your thinking of selling mate as you've put so much into it,Money permitting it would be great to put it away in a garage as i'm sure you would be gutted once it's gone ??

The way to look at it is what would you replace it with and how much is it gonna cost?

If your saving for a house surely fixing would be cheaper and better option

I know that feeling mate. Hope you make the right choice for you

Cheers bud.

Fix it and pipe up. Plenty more fun to be had from these old sl@gs

Yeah you my be right mate.

Shame about the bad news dude

Look at me, I nearly sold it too but spend is the way forward lol!!!!

Spent plenty mate, was just trying to run it and maintain but then something always wants to go wrong when you just don't need it!

Funny you should say that I sat down and worked out how much I'd hope for parts if I broke mine. Problem is I'm enjoying the car seen. I've some really cool people and enjoy the escapism (I don't get out enough!). Are you going to Action?

Not going to Action mate.

I haven't had nearly as much time for the car in recent weeks, been out and about at festivals and work things. I lose the love with it pretty quickly I will admit..

I wouldn't break my car, even though I could probably make near double what it's worth. It's pretty spec'd up!

Im in kind of the same boat Tom, really need my own place and that, but stick with the car mate! You know how much it puts a smile on your face :D

Certainly does put a smile on my face when it works mate. Hopefully I'll get it fixed soon and go for a drive.

I went out with my mates last night and one of them said pretty much what you have, spent so much and got so far with it so why sell as I'd be gutted to see it go. I have been thinking this aswell. If things change the plan may do.

I wouldn't get a car for a while if I sell it as when I buy my house it'll likely be a project which I'll want to put my funds into mate.

Need to get this car fixed asap.
