Must be a weight off your mind.....job well done.

[JamesBaby]

Glad it's up and running again bud.

[lee_shep]

Glad to see its running right buddy, mines done 55k so im hoping my chains are alright but still need to get it scanned for peace of mind.

Keeping my eye out to see this on the roads.

Mine was only on 53k when it read -9 but it's all down to the servicing, last owner decided to switch it to longlife which sealed its fate.. As long as yours has been done regularly then you'll be fine. Yeah I'm hoping that I'll see you in the R one day, I see you that many times in the van that it could almost be classed as stalking if I posted a spotted post every time I saw you πŸ˜‚

Not updated this for a while.. Nothing has happened really as I've been busy sorting my house out πŸ˜•

I did however spend all good Friday giving it a good clean which I've been meaning to do since Oct 14. It's looking well now and running like a dream 😎 Got it booked in 23/5 to have front and rear bumper and skirts painted and then I plan on having the front seats refurbished, I did nearly buy some half leather seats last month but decided to stick with leather as I love that smell! This is definitely the best one I've had now and I shall never sell πŸ‘ŒπŸ»

Yeah not had the best of luck since I bought but I'm really liking it now, just a few bits left to do and I should have the R32 I've always wanted . I always planned on getting the chains done but not so soon. Like you say it is peace of mind now and it drives so much better.

Lovely car and attention to detail

Thanks

A thumbs up from me....

When are you coming back?! You must be missing it now surely?!

Looks fantastic mate!

Cheers Sunny, hope to see you back in an R soon!

So I haven't updated this thread for a long time.. The people who know me well will probably think I've sold it πŸ˜‚ Well.. I haven't, I'm sticking to my guns on this one..

I've been busy with it over the last 6 months, I've had the following done

Bumpers sprayed
New Pioneer App stereo
Replaced the interior to half leather
Sports cat
Porsche oil and coolant caps
Rtech induction kit
Stage 2 Rtech remap with no lift shift and launch control - 269.8 bhp as a result of the map
New front grills

I'm so impressed with what Rtech have done to it, truth be told I think I would've sold it had they not worked their magic on it! It's a total different animal now.

I've probably gone as far as I want to go with it now, I've no interest in going FI as I prefer to have something faster out of the box. For the last month I've had it in storage and it'll stay there until I'm ready to unleash the little beast again 😎I feel privileged to own it and I finally have a R32 that ticks all the boxes and is pretty much irreplaceable.

Some more recent shots





Off into storage


Custom car cover


Over Christmas I thought it was time to get the mid life crisis out the way so the R32 now has a German counterpart





The R is still my fave 😍 I can't wait to see it again.

It's just on with double sided tape at the moment, I took the plinth off and got the bumper smoothed but I like the plinth so I'm going to put it back on once it comes out of storage.

Proper missing it at the moment!

[lee_shep]

Not updated for a while because not a lot has been going on as it's been is storage.. I treated it to a Carcoon as I was worried about the moisture getting to it. Only had it out twice this year and took it to tatton Sunday where it got some positive comments 😎 No.4 is my best to date and is definitely a keeper.

[MIQ]

It's actually the best example i have ever seen (and I have seen a lot over the years and all the shows) , put the Concourse ones to shame, it's like it was driven from the showroom in 2003 and arrived at tatton 2017 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

absolutely stunning example and a credit to Lee
