The front calipers dont need to be turned when they are retracted, I used a G clamp and is fairly straight forward

sorry im in Dorset and its a vrs

The metal frame has worn through the foam on my drivers seat (nearest the door) its doing my head in and will soon burst through the cloth! I drive a lot and comfort is everything, I even test drove a rover 75 yesterday because of it (was ok but vrs has it beaten hands down) what are my reaistic options? can i replace the foam?

I thought posting a pic would help the OP, personally i commute every day over miles of speedbumps so i'll stick with the stilts for now.fitted the wheels as i damaged one alloy and they were a steal on ebay, not because i wanted a car that would cut it in mcdonalds car park scraping along the ground leaving debris all over the road.so slag away

heres mine on the same wheels

I have the same, doesnt look too bad

id like those seats

Good idea take a test drive, personally the VRS suits me down to the ground and if your thinking of getting an all rounder in the near future I would go for it now so you dont lose too much money Its comfortable, quick (enough), running costs are great and I like the understated looks, Only thing id change mine for at the moment is a LE which is what I'd look for if I was you

Having owned Quicker cars (Subarus etc) one thing I will say is you never get bored of frugality:thumbup: You may not have a monster drive to work but whenever you go anywhere you will be happier not to be looking for fuel every ten mins, the VRS is a brilliant all rounder as long as you dont need decent rear space I dont think you can do better. Just one thing if I was to do evrything again id still buy one but id insist on leather

Im afraid not When looking for a recon gearbox for mine the cheapest quote was around £700-800 with VAT and usually 6-12 months warranty You can get a box for around £300 from a breakers but its a lottery

Good result for Citroen terrible result for Porsche!! agree with Jeep though...add to that horriffic parts and labour costs and what have you got? a headache and an empty bank account (been there!) J eep E mpties E veryones P ockets

I have the same problem with mine, hoping I can scramble the money together for a retrim and hopefully they can repad the bolster

For a decent sound quality using the parcel shelf isnt the best option (so i have been told, never had a great system :thumbdwn:) so constructing a solid shelf from mdf would prob be best

Fair play mate good luck with the sale

I will probably get ousted for this I used to always fit eagle F1's to my VRS but got fed up replacing them constantly at £100 a corner so I got budgets and although they offer no grip (not overly bothered as my car is a workhorse) they have lasted ages!!! So its Nankangs for the week and I am sourcing track day wheels and tyres for fun
