Just bought this 34000 miles silver leather heated seats sunroof cruise parking sensors revo's 18" OEM RSTT's Bose Collecting it on wednesday :D Anyone want to by a 406 HDI? :D

very nice. how are you getting on with it being a lefty? how much and what are the miles then?

i use a sealey variable speed (500 - 2200 rpm) with autoglym polishing heads. Yes if it is repeatedly polished over and over again you could risk going through the paint. Edges are dodgy aswell... just have to slow the mop right down and be gentle

another complete machine polish including quite some time spent on a boot lid that had been resprayed and then taken through a car was almost immediately!! boot before boot after

iow_corrado_g60, thanks. Actually i normally get on and wash it all quite quickly to remove all the muck. Then when i have it all "clean" i look at it all and see it the paintwork needs correcting. That DB9 was ok on an initial look. but once i had washed it (which i did really early in the day as it was SO HOT!! i had it washed and dry by 9.30am) you could then see the whole car was really badly scuffed in places and the holograming effect of a previous polish gone wrong was terrible. I wish i had taken before pics now because it looked horrid. i got this one of me actually doing it though... trying not to look to hot and bothered. I ended up moving it into the garage to wax it all... OHHH the v12 noise... just amazing Jim, i guess the same kinda person that buys a 911 and then cleans it with the green side of a washing up sponge!? some people are funny. The DB9 owner has seen the light though and i am now the regular car washer at his place :)

i do any car but i charge the same if its a crap car as i do if its an aston. lets say i did 10 cars... out of those 10... 5 would probably be run of the mill cars, 3 would be high spec BMWs or audis etc and 2 would be supercar standard.

mmmm DB9. lovely... although after a bit of questioning, the owner admited to taking it through a car wash a few times 6 hrs, full machine polish, layers of wax later and it looked like new again (or better :roll: :wink: )

sorry... was a bit big wasnt it. now changed for a smaller one.

sorry. mine was with direct line. Im 23 and live in cambridge (one of the lowest areas aparently) and have 5 years NCB

no as it wasnt a storm and it had done 96k when i sold it.

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/88193.htm here is my original http://board.hondacrx.co.uk/phpBB2/modu ... _photo.php and i know that is roddys pic in the middle aswell as i saved it WAY back when i was still looking at getting a vr6 seems odd that someone doesnt have a digi cam to take a pic of their own car these days!?

Just thought id check out what insurance would be like on the s3 now.. i figured it would be around the same as before which was £750 full comp Im a year older and got a years extra NCB. £464.10 :D just wanted to tell someone really!

arse. how old are you! so that doesnt tempt you? even though it ticks all the boxes! LHD, C4, VERY low miles and a great price!?!

blimey!! i had forgotten just how low the miles were http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/85792.htm

what colour? i was looking at a purple one myself a month ago but couldnt insure the bugger. guards red suits them aswell in my opinion keep an eye on pistonheads clasifieds... there are alwasy new ones coming up on there and they all seem to be well looked after. i think there is still a low mileage LHD one on there.. let me check.

fair enough. i loved it when i drove it. my mates has done over 180k now and still pulls as good as my s3 did! felt amazing. i had a smile on my face the whole time!

nice. i drove my friends dads C2 for a weekend and loved it. thought about getting one for a breif moment Why a LHD though??? and of course you know the C4 is 4wd not RWD as you hinted!? :D

Hi Jim. hope you have solved it now? If i was given this job to do i would TFR the bonet and then shampoo and then tar and adhesive (gets all kinds of stuff off). Then i would machine polish with a really mild abrasive before giving a couple of coats of super resin followed by the extra gloss. good luck

911/964 turbo??

is it actually sold now?? gonna tell us how much?? ;) i hear what your saying about the people making the forum aswell. my corrado went over 2 years ago and im still on here now and again! oh... and i reckon your next project should be a boring mk4 v6 golf with a corrado engine and interior swap :D

odd! it does say the price twice in the advert though!?

am seriously temped by this at the moment 2001 S3 face list 34k miles silver heated leather sunroof cruise bose 6 disc parking sensors revo'd with SPS2 switch (turning on and off and boost up i think) 18" rs4 reps £12500. wanted to get one at £12k but he has already come down from £13k to that. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

but uber comfortable. out of all the miles i did i never got numb bum syndrome!
