New front grill fitted

Howard · 2 Sep 2013 at 19:23

Cleaned and with a shiny new exhaust

mrk · 2 Sep 2013 at 19:37

Shiny shiny

Also I do like that scooby, as much as I hate the sound they make, they do look damn fine in that version.

Looking good.

Hate to bring it up but is that a mark on your rear quarter? Not sure if i am looking at the same photo but i spotted the mark the other day aswell?

Howard · 2 Sep 2013 at 19:42

Yep, tis. It's been there since I bought it, I didn't do it

Annoyingly that photo shows the one wheel with a couple of small marks too, but hey ho, warts 'n all..

Rybo89 · 2 Sep 2013 at 19:51

Ah mine has its battle scars too. One on the door which i always spot when coming back to my car in the parking lot, a second of rage till i realise its always been there

Anyway, photo sub forum! i have a question in there.

Loving the Cayenne. Marmite car to most folk. What fuel consumption figures are you getting with it?.

reads 20.9mpg on a motorway jaunt at a steady 70 , generally between 12-16mpg round town with a feathered foot

Pfft, how dare he! My bandwidth hosting is paid for with blood sweat and tears from orphan children Have at you, etc.

Anyway!

Wheels refurbed, means s few new pics.

I love your 330i.

Only one thing that throws me off is the rear plate, It needs to be moved up an inch :rolleyes:

a*al, I know.

mrk · 2 Sep 2013 at 23:57

Eh

As for the plate, you mean touching the boot handle? Because it's already an inch or so below the bottom of the handle (both top and bottom margins are even) so moving it up further will mean

1) I can't clean that area below the handle where water runs out after a wash.
2) There would be too big a gap below the plate!

Gave it a bit of a clean, front was covered in bugs

Didn't know you had one of these, congrats. Certainly a long way off from the Clio of doom!

Maybe its just the way the light is reflecting above the plate, makes it look lower than it is.

Wasn't being smart

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Half of the point of owning one is the rumble, although you can change that if you did fancy one lol

Just bought a very clean (exterior wise) Mazda MX5 Mk1 with my girlfriend. Awesome little car! I'd like to change the wheels to standard colour, but other than that it's spot on.

Nice, I like it :cool:

My girlfriend will soon be going for an auto license, so we got this to share for the time being so I can teach her/she can practice between lessons. I'll more than likely grab a manual one for myself when she passes! :cool:

It's a surprisingly nice autobox though. I spend a good portion of my driving in traffic jams, so it works out quite nicely.

Janesy B · 4 Sep 2013 at 11:11

Why can't she get a proper licence? Medical reasons?
