Post a picture of your car here Part 4 (quote a picture, get a 24h ban!!)

New plates on. Not sure as to the legality of Vinyl plates so ordered a Square front plate incase from same crowd i got new rear plate from.











Excuse state of tyres and wheels, just some pdr on doors now xenons with ballasts and rear limo tint and i will get to experience those few weeks where car is exactly how you want it to look before a stone chip or something similar ruins it on you

That front plate looks absolutely class.

That looks pox on the front IMO dude. Maybe if it was smaller it would work a bit better. I know the look you're going for but a centred plate suits the car better I think.

Clean.

Im more concerned it's just gonna attract hassle.

Saw a front square plate to offside of grille on a new A4 the last day (Pressed metal but i went for plastic)and ordered a plastic one, will just stick on with some automotive tape.

No point spending 250 quid on a new front grille so now 3/4 of my massive FMIC is getting air instead of less than half that and covering it up again.

Would imagine that plate location wouldnt pick up on the toll's? Nice idea, but think a centre plate would set it of better. Lovely looking ST

this parking is a farce, maintenance guy around Monday, hedge goes or I am out. Idiot next to me parks as close as possible, wtf. He cant open his door, (as much as I can). Parking here is shambolic, a parking space is like gold dust.

Try reversing in and clinging it to the kerb.

Do that in my parents place from time to time. Never so much as a swirl mark from those small hedges...and after a while they actually start to grow around the sweep of the door. Smart feckers:pac:

Ive been searching breakers yards for one. No parking sensors, but would just remove from doner one and smooth over/re-paint the bumper. twin exit exhaust too if they had one

its going to be hard to get, not many 250s in the uk let alone Ireland. best bet is probably the north or get one from ebay in uk or such

Partfinder suggests that there are 3 for breaking...one in Tipp, which is where im living. Will ring in the morning, but with my luck it will have been rear ended

Lovely oul chat thread we're having, do you mind if i, oh i dunno....post a picture?

Didn't I just see that picture like a half hour ago? :P

My car here in Thailand.A Honda City 1.5(type Z,Lxi ).Its from year 2002 ,manual ,power steering ,petrol and LPG gas .Second hand cars here more expensive than Ireland ,but parts and labor for servicing and repair much cheaper .Car cost me 2,400 Euro last month .Also compulsory 3 rd party insurance ,and road tax under 100 Euro per year .LPG gas is around 45 cent /B16 a liter.Even though its now 13 years old ,there is hardly any rust underneath,due to them not having to use salt on the road ,due to the climate.
P.S, I am not sure if its the same shape as the Honda City of the same year in Ireland ? I know that the Honda Civic over here is much different .The equivalent of the NCT over here is a joke .They only test exaust and brakes.I also have a Nissan NV 1600 ,pickup ,18 years old which has never failed the test .lol

Hachiko

My other half is Thai, bringing a foreign car into that country is a no no, would really love to drive all over s/e asia in my own motor.

anto9

Hachiko ,Yes ,import duty on private import of car or motorcycle over 100% here .There are plenty of old Mercedes and BMWs about but usually with a transplanted Japanese engine .

Have to say the 900 looked well in Newbridge yesterday. Must be pretty rare in Ireland now?

Hachiko, I feel your pain.

Same in the grounds I park mine, 3 particular drivers have absolute heaps and are terrible drivers. I literally cry when I see that they have parked beside mine as they have no regard for other peoples doors. ****ing bastard *****

I know I posted a pic of this car already, but just look at it. Savage wheels. (it was on loan, so technically was mine for two days )

Toyotafanboi

lenzo rs5's are a bit of a max power wheel imo, a bit like katanas or venoms, although the rs5's have probably aged to be much less offensive than the wolfrace. they suit the mini though, i'd say that car would be lovely with a good scrub

Hal1

The wheels do nothing for me. These seem better:
