I didn't notice it mentioned in the advert until you posted. I had it on my previous F20 and it was a useful option, but I'm not planning on keeping it for longer than 3 months so I'm not too bothered.

Ah well, fairy snuff!

£31000... wow, i thought maybe around 23k but 31k... Crackers.

oof, the orange peel on it is nearly as bad as it is on mine!

I will venture out and get some pretty pics in the countryside one day.

Took it to Yorkshire Big Breakfast car meet at Specialist Cars of Malton today, brilliant event as always!

shauncr91 · 8 Oct 2017 at 19:45

How is the Big Breakfast these days? I stopped going a couple of years ago as it was overcrowded and becoming full of ****heads in Corsa's banging tunez out.

T0pPredator · 8 Oct 2017 at 20:11

I'd say its on the up! It's overcrowded for sure, but the Corsa crew seems to be on the decline and no banging sound systems this time at all.

There's still the exiting antics though despite the serious police presence! This guy was the bravest (most foolish) of them all this time:

He's getting roasted on Facebook xD

The last time I went was when someone put his friends Mustang into a tree, that was the red flag for me that it had passed it's best

T0pPredator · 8 Oct 2017 at 20:48

Hah! That sounds ridiculous! The child inside me really enjoys it when people go for the dramatic exit. But of course, it is reckless and stupid.. Does spice up the photos though!

I love smokey skids as much as the next guy but every time I see this type of thing I wonder if the driver is a little mentally deficient or something? I mean, you certainly wouldn't catch me pulling a stunt like that, a hundred people photographing/filming you breaking the law, and there's always the chance something could go wrong and you'll end up in a crowd, then what? So risky.

Yep, like so

Never looked at their Facebook as I don't have a Facebook, but looked to see if they did a video of mine, which seems they didn't. Did find some nice pictures though

These two show off the rear/front black gloss grills I had fitted a couple of weeks before the detailing. The previous standard fit ones were grey to match standard V10 Plus grey area behind the rear number plate, painted by the first owner which I too preferred so kept, but had it redone to a better standard. The first owner had then wrapped the grills in carbon wrap which looked ok at first, until heat started to make it bubble so that had to be done properly, hence the replacements you see here.

Interior looking pretty much like new. I am good with side bolsters, years of bucket seats in cars means I know how to get in and out without sitting (and damaging) the side bolsters.

Some side on shots

Some carbon ceramic cleans

Colour match on the rear bumper is miles better than it was

And yes....those rear bumper screw caps need sorting out too!

If I look at the paint on the BMW there is no orange peel at all. The Corolla has a little bit, but not an awful lot. Seems it gets worse and worse as time goes on. In a few years it will be like Hammerite hammer finish.
