This is a proper motor, loads of time for the G4 .:R32   :smiley: :love:

I remember when a guy fired up a supercharged one at Players in Essex back in September when the judges were inspecting his car. The sound has never left me to this day...  :evilgrin:

Cheers, Peter. The noise is without a doubt my favourite thing about the car. Like I said previous - 400 odd mile drive home and didn't have the radio on once!

Update time again. Wheels got refurbed today at The Wheel Specialist in Dyce. Went for anthracite finish.
Pics make them look darker than they are in the flesh.
Planning a full day cleaning so will fire up better pics then, these were literally just after I'd got the car home.





Also fitted my strut top covers today, along with the R36 blue coil covers.




Couple of interior shots aswell.


Cheers for looking a again,
Scott

Cheers Dave. Since then I've fitted my blue coil pack covers and billet aluminium power steering cap. And dressed the bay again!
Terrible pics ahoy!

Very nice example  :drool: I'm thinking of going down this route next year. Need some vr6 soundtrack in my life. People say that the mk4 has a very 'soft' chassis compared to the mk5.. do you think so?
Cheers. I don't find the chassis soft at all tbh, drove a 1.8t and that was very wallowy feeling.

That's good to know  :happy2: cheers
