    They might have looked cool in 2009 but it's stupidly overdone. Pressed Irish plates IMO look best.

    Wehey! May take the lady friend along too, she's rather fond of bmw's

    If that's ok with yourself?

    Course it's ok, no problem at all :)

    Thats kind of a relief too Cleveland, I thought I was getting to the point where I'd almost have to clean it like a chimney :)

    Awesome sauce :)

    Awesome sauce :)

    I bet the turbo is going to call it a day tomorrow now or something :)

    I have an unforeseen quiet day tomorrow now so I can give her a bit of a clean, not the DA kind of job because I don't have one but my mediocre clean and polish :)

    Lovely lovely job Sean! That your first time getting at it with the D/A?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,088 ✭✭✭sean1141


    No I gave it a quick rub before just after buying it and a quick once over between yesterday and today. Used a medium cut menzerna and green hexlogic pad then a coat of tcut black colour polish :o followed with a coat of CG petes 53 and a coat of CG blitz

    Hey Rizzee nice GP ya got there they are pretty rare around my way btw:cool:

    @Ardennes I actually like it, maybe can't see much in the picture but it's leather :)

    Yep 95hp 1.4 16v, an absolute rarity to see a t-jet here in Ireland I imagine! (Haven't seen any myself)

    Will be checking out the GSR induction kits, they look brilliant, very pricey though. Must see some review on the K&N ones but hey, you get what you pay for!!

    @Bear1 Here's my friends 1.4 GT turbo alongside the old GP.



    @dgt where ever you are, passed you on the Dublin road after the County Club towards town about 15 minutes ago :D

    As promised - A few pictures of her. Just gave her a wash and polish. Need to get the hover out now and clean up the inside. It was perfect and clean inside when I bought it, but i've somehow manged to undo that inside the week.
