I hope the weather holds out.... hate wet car shows

 

Pretty much nailed on to be wet, at least we will have no trouble getting of the grass 🤣

 

I meant to say I like your idea of oem+ look 😎

[SpursMadDave]

Car looks great @BobbyT especially like the wheels and ride height 😎 and I'm a fussy bugger much like I suspect you are 🤣

Last little visual mod to the car. I've had the front side vents wrapped to make them look a little larger for a more aggressive look. Quite subtle but something I've been thinking about for a while.

Looks cracking 😎👍🏼 
 

May I suggest a gloss black roof to complement the other gloss bits 😅  love spending other peoples money 😂

I have thought about it.... I haven't seen an estate with a full black roof so unsure how it would look.

So the cars all ready for the South of France, been waiting for this for a long old time. Gave her a clean mid week, wash, wax (Fusso99) and a quick hoover inside.

A few shots so far. Currently in Souillac, covered around 900 miles so far and thankfully the old barge has been perfect. Saw a fellow brit white R wagon whilst walking today....small world. Next week is Saumur.

Trip completed. Covered 1600 miles and the car was faultless. Even swolled a load of beer and wine. The cars incredible. Looked good fully loaded and still drove well. Had a turn of pace too lol 😆

What did you average MPG.

 

I have just done a 1000 mile trip round Scotland and the average for the trip was just over 40mpg and i was giving it beans some of the time although with that average probably not enough beans.😀

Thank you.

What a great read, the car looks amazing and its interesting to see it evolve and you add and removes stuff as you go along. I am having an R estate delivered on Mon and you have given me a lot of inspiration already and its not even here!

 

Can I ask about the second set of paddles you fitted - who supplies these? They look very OEM and I like that, the stock ones are just a touch too small.

 

Si

I got them from a guy in the US. I think he sold them on ebay. I'll see if I can find a link.
