    I have more than enough Carbon Fibre Vinyl to do the job if you're looking to do it. You can have some no bother.

    (I realise Carbon Fibre might not be the way you'll want to go anyway for interior, but the offer is there :) )


    Or plastidip?.....


    :p

    He is still alive.

    He realised there was some important stuff he had let go by the wayside after he had a rare meltdown and spat.

    Probably cheaper to tax

    Is it only me that finds it odd that the ad says 141k but the photo of the dash clearly shows 171k. Typo? Or has he clocked it but forgot to change the photo :D

    Changing the clocks from 171 to 141 wouldn't make sense. Usually clocking would have been under the magical 100k mark. It's more than likely a typo.

    Anyhow. It's a diesel engine. Should barely be run in :)

    Its strange alright, Its hard to know tbh. If it was a typo I would have thought the seller would have pressed the 3 or 5 button. 5757575. No I dont see that happening. :pac:

    Ah. Come on. A bit of less narrow minded ness. The car had 171,276 km on the clock most likely, when he put the ad together, then took pictures or updated them later, so another odd 200 km driven. It'll be in around 172k anyhow.

    Makes no difference altogether.

    Aye. A leather sports interiour from an E39 M5 goes for 700-1000 EUR. Normal sports interior 500 EUR.

    Preferably, but I understand times are tough, so I'll give you my left sock, a broken iPhone and a half eaten packet of Tayto, that alright?

    ..........

    But if you want it you want it :)

    I spent €175 on a Pirelli P Zero and another €240 on a stat and associated housing/pipework and coolant change which went hand in hand with it. That's €415 in two weeks and there's a gallon of Mobil 1 going into her before the Winter hits.

    My car is worth less than yours :pac:

    There's no way that ZT is worth €800 is there?

    I need two new front tyres too. I think they're 16's running 205/55 R16 so tyres shouldn't be too costly I hope. New grille and badge just bought this evening and bumper polish so lots of work for the weekend.

    Going to a concert in the academy next Wednesday and I want to get 2 tyres in tyreland before it, would the one in swords be much handier for getting to?

    Edit: if rj or anyone wants a tyre or 2 I could bring them down no hassle?
