So you're packing up detailing cars and becoming a Hairdresser 

Nice looking car , not a fan of 19"'s myself

 

Where are the rear door handles ? Thats a new idea

You wouldnt know you had 19" wheels, the ride is so good

Not a new idea at all......They are at the outer edge of the rear door..Like a Honda Civic...since 2006

The Alpha 147 was the first car to have hidden rear door handles in 2000 

You're a Goldmine of information Alan

From an Alfa website.....

"I'm not sure if Alfa properly invented the hidden handles... there's bound to be a car-anorak who will tell you that they were actually first used on the Squire-Henderson Conqueror in 1923... but certainly in the recent era, they made an apperance (come-back?) on the Alfa 156."

Not noticed them before the only Civics i normally see are 3 door ones

Thats because they look like 3 door ones

No it's because the only people I know who own Civics have type R 's

LOL..OK

. Ah yes forgot about the 156 and 3 years earlier

SWMBO likes the DS4 Chris. Better to look at than her Astra lol

Sent from my Galaxy S5

Give us a shout when she wants rid, we buy any car Wales dept

Does she want a mint Octavia vRS ?

Chris, I'm considering doing driving instruction full time again, and have a choice of rental cars... I was considering the DS3,

 

my requirements are different as a driving school car... I want something comfortable, NOT hard, comfy seats, and easy to drive.... of the cars on offer, (fiesta, ibiza, corsa, polo, DS3) I am drawn to the DS3 on its looks, and promise of french comfort.

Perfect as a 'Learner Car ' Dave

Its comfortable and reliable

Do they use the THP engine?

Yes. They do
But ours is diesel

Nice pic:

Aha! Had a 1.6 petrol THP in my old Peugeot 207. Nice engine.

Picked the car up....BUT...The Dealer 'Very Experienced and skilful Valeter' has inflicted more swirls and dreadful holograms

(Car is 6 months old)

So taken the wife to work and will set about polishing and protecting the car today

BTW..Its fantastic to drive and will soon look the part too!!

Going to use Wax (Some very high Carnauba content ..bought in Brazil) rather than my preferred Sealant ..see how that pans out

Looks great Chris, and will soon look even better! Nice colour that [emoji41]
