So my work plans have changed and the aim is to be back in the office early next year, so a car was required and I wanted something different, a bit quirky and fast - so I just picked up a 131 Citroen DS3 DSport - 1.6 THP 155bhp. Full Citroen service history with 1 owner, just 76,000KM, 4 x new Continentals and brakes all around + a brand new HPFP worth €850 for parts / labour (because of this, I've also added some BG 44K Fuel System Cleaner to ensure no build up of deposits which may have caused the HPFP issues in the first place).

Has already been treated to a full detail (wax, polish, detar and valet), debadged at the front and part back, LEDs all around (footwell, dome, boot and reg plate), OEM gear knob, carpets and rubber boot mat. Next up is the wheels - they are in great condition but the diamond cut part is peeling so going to get them re-painted gloss black :cool:

I'm at Home for a few weeks so tackled the Audi panel by panel fairly happy with the results so far!

Got myself some OE LED taillights yesterday. They look exactly the same as the old ones until you switch them on

Bit of faffing around with coding to make them work, but totally worth it.

passatman86

@colm_mcm that boot de-badged would finish it off nicely

You need to have a minimum number of posts for some options like that. I can't remember how many that is though but 25 is coming to mind.

I think it's more like 50 posts.

I just use https://postimages.org/ and then copy the link on here.

He still needs a certain amount of posts just to post links.

Had those on my hatch as well. Makes them look a million times better at night

They really do! Few more jobs in the pipeline for it. Being careful to not stray from the OEM+ look.
Window tint is next.

That was mine. Elegance with the sport pack. 17s, tints, LED and folding mirrors. Was a lovely spec but only 1.6 5 speed. Given it spent most of the time on the motoray, that was annoying.

Sadly replaced with a Picasso when #3 came along.

Is that MSport decal a factory fit so? Always thought they were aftermarket.

Same. They look desperate imho, actively take away from what is otherwise a nicely put together 3-Series.

I fully agree.

The front lip with matching side lip and rear diffuser look great and actually function. The sticker just detracts from the overall look of the car.

Something barely change, this was my first BMW, an E90 from about 10 years ago:

Fast forward to present day and a F36:

What have neighbours replaced the X3 with?

[Deleted User]

Volvo XC/ VW Touareg would be my guess

bazz26

It's a Qashqai, the X3 owner moved away a few years ago.

Love the carbon spoiler on it bazz, looks really well. What's your thoughts on it now compared to your previous f10?

It's a different experience, cabin noise is a lot louder for sure but the handling is much sharper due to the reduced size and weight.

You can upload it to a image hosting site and post the link in text form but not as a hyperlink.

:D Ya that's a funny one. In my defence, Bazz and I know each other in real life, I did whatsapp him to say well wear in fairness!

Top Dog

Nice progression in engines too Bazz - 318d to 430d must be quite a change

wotzgoingon

Nice alloys on the 318. I actually prefer them more than what's on the 430. I'm not saying the 4 series alloys are bad but I just prefer the 318's.

Duke O Smiley

Are the alloys on the E90 off a 320si?

bazz26

They are the same BBS alloys from the 320si. That E90 was a M Sport "Edition" trim which came standard with those 19" BBS wheels as well as some other stuff. The Edition was a limited run just before the LCI model appeared in late 2008.

GustavoFring

Nicest E90 wheel those.
