Loods good in the sunshine 8) Good buy too! What are your first impressions of driving her?

Ah, she's looking good, Darren 8) Feel a little sad at the mo, to be honest, but excited about getting another ;)

She feels nice and tight- handles very well and loves to rev. When driving less enthusiastically the exhaust is subtle--- that changes as the revs rise.

 

I knew that I needed a tyre (I will replace both fronts) and a wheel bearing is whining but other than that :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

Spent an Hour cleaning up the engine bay tonight (not that it was too dirty) but I am quite pleased with the results :clap:

Got myself some chrome rear badges. Corrodo- courtesy of a very friendly breaker & 16V courtesy of CazzaVR :D

Then I fitted the new mats from the guy on e-bay.

[v8rumbler 0]

And this will not be to everyone's taste but is was very cheap and feels good---Momo Corse wheel.

[CazzaVR 0]

Some nice little touches there, Darren! The mats make a big difference 8) Prefer the standard steering wheel, but the Momo wheels do feel better when driving.

[v8rumbler 0]

Well I have spent the last week using her for everything---really enjoyed it :clap: :clap:

 

Decided the Momo steering wheel was great for driving but I have put the proper Corrado one back on as I prefer the look.Will probably sell the Momo on here if anyone wants one?

 

I have got her booked in for the MOT on the 11th :shrug: :shrug: hopefully not too painful.

 

 

Enjoying the sun!!

The mats are well worth while- they fit correctly and look good. Plus they take seconds to fit and nothing can go wrong :clap:

yeah I remember. It would have been good to chat some more and take a good look at your VR. But I had to leave early as my battery died & I wanted to get one on the way home. Ended up paying Halfrauds £90.
