My parents just bought this. Top spec sol model with heated seats, 17" alloys and rear tinted windows.
I put two coats of collinite on it and changed plates today.
Have to say i think it's a stunning upgrade compared to older versions.
Great to drive and I think it looks great too.

bear1

Looks nice, I'd probably put the standard plates back if it were me though.

CianRyan

The plates suit the surrounding to be fair.

Voodoomelon

Nice car, plate makes it look 10 years older though.

colm_mcm

Yellow plate on the back?

YbFocus

It's going to take a while but for the last three days I have been really trying to enhance the paint on the car. Roughly two or three hours a night focusing on one panel

I am decontaminating the panel, compounding and two stage polishing.
Sealing with Pentawax.

So the two front wings and bonnet are done.

It's not as clean as Foxhole's but god is it not glossy and damn near perfect





Another 11 days of panels to go

Not quite, if it were a Dublin car I would never put them plates on but DL reg cars everywhere up here with them, definately a regional thing!

Front end Friday

Some minor adjustments were made following on advise from some lawds about going the straight pipe route...

YbFocus

Far freer flowing and really has a better top end now!

Cheensbo

Put a second one on it and you've a grand wheelbarrow

colm_mcm

That's the resale value gone.

The 156 has aged very very well. Especially in the right colour.

Noccy_Mondy

For the weekend that's in it. Up Mayo!! All kitted out!

Reusing an old photo, because it can

I'll be going USDM square plate on the back of my e46 tomorrow...it would just not suit the front of it though. Imho...

Sure you may scrap it now, 100k was bad enough. :cool:

TrailerBob

Today, it hit 280,000 miles, flew through the DOE without so much as a 20 note in the ashtray, and kept working for its supper. If only everything in life was as reliable

Voodoomelon

She looks clean for 280! Are the tyres low for the fields?

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

An oldie, but a goodie...

TrailerBob

Cheers, I try to keep it clean.. I run them around 35psi, thought the pic makes it look less. I've never had to air down (no soft sand driving) and it's never gotten stuck anywhere..

*searches frantically for wood to touch

Absolutely love the Jeep Bob :cool:

Any more pictures of it? Looks really really clean for a Jeep of it's age, fair play for looking after it so well:)

Careful now all those F30 drivers might get upset


@Trailer bob, your jeep is absolutely class, so clean for 400k odd km. :cool:

Appreciate the positive comments

Not to stoke a BMW war... but I think DZ's sig may have a not so subtle sheep reference.. anyway, why can't we like all cars... I love E39 tourings, but also wildly desire an RS6 avant.. and don't get me started on old Toyota 4x4s..

colm_mcm

The irony is that the sheep aren't buying F30s. It's A4 not 3 series, then 5 series over A6 if you have more money. Thems the rules now.

CianRyan

People need to get back on Mercs, they're just nicer.

IN MY OWN ****INH OPINION OF COURSE DONT START A ****ING WAR OVER WHAT IVE SAID JESUS ****ING CHRIST WHY DO I EVEN TRY ON THIS FORUM ANYMORE THIS IS WHY I ONLY POST LIKE A BLOW IK THESE DAYS

I've covered just over 4000 miles in the little Diesel 156 now, plenty of time to get to know it!


Not too bad looking for a €1300 car either :cool:

bear1

Is it the 150 version? Bargain all the same.
Do you have the glance back at it when parked habit?,:)

Eh I don't know. I'm fairly sure it's 140bhp...

I actually hardly ever look back at it :P I miss the 166 and it can't compete Grand little car though, cheap to tax and insure and 50mpg. Needed for the current commute.

Toyotafanboi

Went to take off the tow bar this evening but it looks like it's pretty structural. Would need a replacement bumper bar or to grind the hitch off of this one, neither of which really appeal to me, so, it stays



Here she is in happier times, it's a stand up car in fairness. 25% of the time I wish it was manual, other than that it's a super car.

I believe if the mjet at the rear is red then its 150 and if not then 140.

New car picked up today, a Primera GT. They are getting very rare now, can't imagine there are many left in Ireland. Not many people know what it is, fly's under the radar which I quite like. SR20de and a properly sorted chassis, I had read a lot about them so expected it to be good, but the drive home blew me away. Flows down a B road as well as the best cars I have driven, a true drivers car. No body roll, no understeer, and great steering feel. It's only 150bhp so it's nippy rather than fast, but feck does it drive well! All for 600 quid!? The joys of an underrated car.
