Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Its back! Not by popular demand but cos I sense things have gone quiet with the, ahem "administrative disturbences" and this might get peeps posting again. If direct linking to an image keep it to a reasonable size - 150 kb. Okay here's mine Mike.

Well I'd leave the badge and the rest, just dechrome the centre bit around the license plate.

I've always liked the current Audi "big grill" look, but the A4 I considered at the time I was getting the Passat was just a much smaller car and looked like my older 02 Passat inside, hence why I took the one I have (plus the DSG box is great )

j2dab, here in Kosovo those cars are modified to look like big 4x4. The whole bottom of the car is replaced and they have these massive jumbo wheels. I'll take a photo next time I see one. Might give you some ideas.

Can anyone point me towards the bangenomics thread? I can't find it anywhere.

Hmm... :cool:. Very, very nice. My favourite machine in this tread so far. The only things she is missing are the original front indicator lamps.
Congratulations, that's all I can say .
By the way, this model was never marketed as "Cossie" and it is only his nick-name .
Good Luck with it and more photos please.

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate the comments........ I actually have the orignal indicators but using the clear ones for a change. I do add the Cosworth bit as I nearly always get a frown/laugh from people who ask me what engine it has when they dont know that Cosworth had an input into the car.

Cosworth only helped to engineer the engine head, that is all.
What options does it have? Has she got the self leveling front axle (rear one was installed as standard)? Is it manual Getrag transmission? Nice car and way ahead of its time...

Manual dogleg transmission, self leveling in the rear, didnt know they had it in the front too? Even if Cosworth only looked under the hood and gave an opinion it would still be an input.:) Cracking engine though, plenty of poke in the top end & i'm told they are more reliable than the 2.5?

They did have the self leveling in front axle and you could also manually adjust the front suspension height from the cabin . The 2.3 may be more reliable, as it is less stressed. The 2.5 has its peak power 1,000 rpm later in the revs range.
Have a look at this website, some info about the 190E 16V:

I was sort of nervous of the standard interior getting grubby on the lighter areas,
Leather was only 700 extra so was not too hard to add.
Thanks for the compliment.

My favourite car of all time, those Mercs. Have to say I'm not gone on the more modern wheels at all at all, they take the look off it
