I'm not planning on going anywhere. I'll have a RR thread for the new car and I'll probably do some little mods to it to begin with!

Its funny, I didn't actually watch the bloke drive it away, I was too busy with the new (old) car... But yes, sad times.

Was not expecting that! There great cars though, a work mate just sold his VTS one. Bet you'll see some amazing MPG from that!

Any Mods?

I remember the day my Ibiza went, as the lad was pulling away from my house the Mrs said to me - "he's going to kill him self in that"

And it sounded great from the outside, first time I had heard it from anything other than the driver seat (apart from on ther dyno)....

What? Selling up or the choice of car? Mods planned to start with: HIDs, LED sidelights (both from Ibiza) and an oil change! Remap one day (will run it for a while and wait until after its next service probably.)

Saw 50mpg average on the way home! Its a VTR+ so it has all of the toys on it.

3 years, 50k miles and no issues at all to be fair!

Is the rear wiper missing on the C4?

Is the rear wiper missing on the C4?

I thought that too!

Also, is it just the picture, or do you need some sort of "back to black" stuff on the rear mudflaps and rear valance, or are they supposed to be grey?

Either way, all minor things, the car's a lovely colour, and I'm sure a few months from now Mike will have it looking substancially better. He knows his modding!

Thanks Blanco. Yep, back to black is needed defo! Will spend a bit of time tidying it up over the coming months. No major mods planned.
