Good news, cant wait to see it in the flesh...

Vectra, spec the headlamp washers, they will complete your HID conversion.

You decided not to bother with the sound system ?

Was going to but change of heart and held some cash to get "B" pillar back Tints and probably a set of Eibach or H&R lowering springs.

Red is of course the best colour but then i am biased!

BTW, it doesn't fade at all although there doesn't seem to be any clearcoat on the spoiler so that is something to keep an eye on.

Yous is looking smart.

Must keep an eye for the boot spoiler but like yours I will be keeping it well waxed/sealed so hopefully will be ok

Thanks Dallan

Unfortunately I wont have it for Vage 10. :(

Seen a very clean white Vrs heading towards the motorway (at speed) from the Amber yesterday.

You perhaps??

Not me I would say. There is another one in Mitchlestown 12-c

Forgot to say, Never went with the speaker upgrade afterwards, Happy enough with the standard system .

Yeah, I was very impressed with the standard Bolero set-up in your car.

The headlamp washers would be worth a couple of hundred quid if you plan on retro fitting HIDs. Just to complete the look.

Just thinking about this again. Is it not worldwide standard now to use waterbased paint? And as such it would have to have clearcoat over it to seal it in.?

Not really a lover of the H/L washers as much as they look good. The L&K I had a loan of had them and I notice when you used them the paint was all streaky afterwards..

Fubar...more of a jest than a shamless attepmt to sell )...i shouldve bought a white one in the first place....but there is a new white 170 CR superb estate for sale just now ) mmm

A very practical feature for me with the amount of driving that I do also if the NCT ever tightens up on the regulations, having the washers might be to your advantage.

I agree that they are very practical for big mileage but I will be most likely selling the new one again in 2 years so NCT won't have an effect on me.

Red is a marvellous colour on most cars. If you have a red VW Touran, however, all you will hear is #Postman Pat, Postman Pat....#

My first car was red, and I would never have another red car due to the fact the paint faded, but everyone to their own. Enjoy your new car.

Show off !!!!

That's a very fine looking car..Congratulations

Well,

Got notified today by my dealer that my car is being built this week..

That came as a bit of a shock as I am not collecting it until 1st week October.

Now, I may sound a bit OTT but I really do not want my car hanging around the dealers for 2 months.

Can I request a later build date so as It won't be here this soon?

Get it early and bring it to Fermoy, you know you want to :p

I know I want to but I am tied to this one until 1st October :(

If it's getting built this week it'll take a month at least to get to the dealers what with final inspections and shipping delays... Don't worry about it, just enjoy the fact that it'll be waiting for ya and you won't be knocking on the dealers door in October saying where's my car!

Bang on the button

Car was finished today

Up to a month as you say before it gets here. My salesman will be on holiday then so is requesting it be held in depot until he is back. That will be first week in September. Only a matter of weeks then so all is looking good.

Bye Bye, Best of luck to the new owner.

Now the wait for the new one. Hopefully Monday

Hope you get it on Monday!

Ill be the 1st to say "we'll wear" on the new one. Your white one looks nice. Hope the red is as good... I ordered a white for Jan, I would've considered red but my wife has a red focus so dirt want 2 red cars in the driveway. Put up a pic or 2 of the new one... I'd love to see a red one with black neptunes!!!
