Out with the very old...

My first car

In with the old!

330ci, manual in not grey or black! Not a bad upgrade. Also, only costs £505 to insure!

Lovely upgrade

Blackhawk47 · 18 Jul 2014 at 20:16

Steering wheel re trim would finish it off nicely.

A manual too! High five

almoststew1990 · 18 Jul 2014 at 20:54

It looks a little more shabby up close, lots of dark cracks in the leather

I'm going to clean and feed the leather tomorrow hopefully.

Wheel trim? Can you get wheel trim by itself ?

Minstadave · 18 Jul 2014 at 21:02

Retrimmed - he means taking it to a company that will take the old leather off and replace it with new.

Royal Steering Wheels.

They did mine, fantastic job and cost is around £115 depending on what trim options you choose.

Still waiting to take some new pictures as I have my plate to put on very soon and it needs to go to Midlands Car Care for a little bit of work. It's now on the standard wheels though

. Lots of plans in the pipeline, some a lot closer than others

Sadly not on it anymore, I will be buying some new ones in the near future though. I need to wear out the rubber on the current wheels first

That is just perfect, well done! I really can't wait to own an RS, it'll probably take a few years but it's without question my next car, there's just nothing out there that appeals to me more!

Sounds tempting but that will be low on my priorities for the car. It cost £3250 which was under budget so I can spend a bit but mechanical maintenance comes first

Focus is nice but could do with a few stickers in the back window.

adam cool dude · 19 Jul 2014 at 00:17

The thing I hate about the focus RS is it looks so menacing, looks so rally rep, looks like it will take you through the RAC with ease. Then you look under the rear of the car to find a diff missing and go a little

inside.

All clean ready for its MOT tomorrow.

Nice upgrade AlmostStew - that cabin looks pristine. The light tan makes it seem so much bigger inside than the usual drab black and grey.

Beware of over-application of the right foot, getting into license losing territory is very easy if you use the same force as you would have needed on the Nissan.

Thanks - it sadly doesn't look quite as good in person but it's a massive improvement to what I'm used to

. I'm used to having to floor it in third for up hill slip roads in the Nissan so I will definitely be treading carefully in this!
