Cheers Vectra.

Bought the car in dull weather so thought it was black. A week later sun shine and I was amazed at the colour change

GvidoR · 31-10-2015 2:46pm

That's how you take a proper selfie. :P

The MO reg makes all the difference, looks so much better :pac:

did some improvised wiring on my dash cam. Got a buck converter on ebay that tucked under the intrusion alarm, 2 USB outputs on that, 1 is going to my camera. Tidy

Why is the marker on the steering wheel not at TDC?

colm_mcm · 31-10-2015 10:10pm

Ah no!

fletch · 31-10-2015 10:47pm

The Orange Art Edition or "just" a "standard" CLA 45?

Because the wheel isn't straight?

Or is this a trick question? :pac:

Sitec · 01-11-2015 12:25am

The arse on that CLA45

Sitec · 01-11-2015 12:27am

"Orange Arse Edition":pac:

Yes it's the OrangeArt Edition of the AMG CLA45.

They had this car uniquely kitted out for the show so it's got pretty much all the options. It's the only one in this entire region.
As for the orange stripe not being centered, well that's because the steering wheel was not centered..

I'll get properly at the car with a camera for you all once I take delivery.

Even though the wheel isn't straight the marker looks off centre, but admittedly it might just be picture.

First wash since I've bought it. Going to upgrade a few bulbs after NCT next week.

Would it be possible to temporarily stick the original reg plates over the ones I have now just to pass the test? I don't really want to have to take these off in case I bend them etc!

Wibbs · 02-11-2015 5:03pm

The 90's, when the only airbag was behind the wheel…

Needs a valet mind you.

Though my knob is shiny.

Yes. I've done this in the past in the NCT carpark.

Thanks. I was told I could also cover the "slits"in the numbers with black duct tape.

After the joking about making your fuel consumption whatever you want, I did probably my first proper "long" run since I bought her, not bad for a 1.8.
Through Sligo and Mayo, so no motorway or dual carriageway miles either, plenty of speeding up and slowing down involved.

Terrible pictures from a terrible phone, and the console doesn't even look that dirty but it drove me mad so it's clean now
