Phillpotts' Mk4 1.2! SOLD ON 09/04/12 :'(

[phillpotts92]

Thats a lot of cleaning! Certainly pays off though. How often do you polish, wax etc? Mines lucky if it gets a wash and wax one a month.

Ah right cheers mate. After some tints but I think Bristol is a bit far

lol yea might just be a wee bit too far. Yea lots of cleaning but only takes me 25mins to wash the car and 45mins to wax..... Never polished lol. waxing looks good enough though lol only use turtle wax shampoo and then turtle wax high gloss shine wax as its cheap (2 for £5 at Asda).

Car looks almost perfect mate, I love the colour of the car nice to see some more fellow 1.2ers

Only mod i'd suggest is the facelift or FR rear bumper, i think it would finish it off nicely i reckon

T1R tyres i'm guessing? Good taste

Cheers mate, you have told me various amounts of times that you love the colour lol. yea man its nice to see mor 1.2 drivers. i was going to get the facelifted rear but i really cba to spend another £200 on a bumper when i could spend the same money on coilys (fk ak).

Yea T1R's lol i wanted eagle f1's but too expensive.

Did you manage to get a hellfrauds filter in the end?

I have taken mine off and returned back to standard under the bonnet as was only getting 22.1 mpg...... saying that im only getting 27.8 now lol.

Car is looking well mate.

Have you considered a 3/4 size front plate? Fits nicely into the shape of the bumper unlike standard plates, looks better than having it shoved on the window IMO. I've no idea what the legality is regarding 3/4 plates though.

3/4 plates are illigal. But will be getting some dubmeister ones soon enough just want to know if i can scan documents and send via email and not in post as too worried of them thieving polish in the sorting office!

Heh well I do mate, i'm jealous that would be one colour i'd consider when I eventually get a PD130/160. I know what you mean buddy, keep your eye on ebay though, I got my rear bumper for 99p you never know

How you finding the tyres? I love mine tbh, really seem to hold the road well, especially compared to my last tyres

Nah I didn't end up getting another filter in the buddy, I may do in the future. I'm still yet to install my K&N panel filter, will be doing it with the service either this week or next hopefully

Keep up the good work, the tints suit it very nicely

Heh well I can give Jake (Veyron) the credit, he found the listing when I wasn't paying attention, honestly didn't expect it to fetch that but I was happy anyway heh. Shame the painting/repair was pricey but I don't regret it, hopefully you'll find something similar

Ah that does sound like a pretty good idea fella, i'll have to subscribe

I have only just noticed that I have only had this car since the 12/11/10 lol come quite far in such a short time!

The BS stamps are under the "A". They are from the guy you reccomended on ebay mate.

I wasnt happy with the way he packaged the so i sent him a message explaining my frustration and ensured me his packaging will change and he refunded me my postage.
