[merc85]

Well crappy weather we are having, and the t5's brakes looking worn , so decided to give them a lick of paint.

Perhaps not to everyones taste, but hey i like it so i painted them Yellow, Although will be needing rear disc's soon.

[Lugy]

Hammerite Smooth Gold is the colour for standard type sliding calipers! Factory and tidy!

The yellow still looks good though.

[Nealevo]

Gav, if it was a Porsche you'd have paid lots extra for yellow, so they get my thumbs up...

All together looks great frankie.When u said £3,5k for yr car might seem too much but is it really?not if u ask me.Gav yr car is the best t5 I`ve seen so far,won`t surprise me if it is the best on here.No offence to others as haven`t seen som of yr nice t5`s and r`S I have to admit the enthusiasm of this guys amazed me,maybe.

[merc85]

cheers mate, i valued it in parts, needs the wheels refurbing and a couple of bits of paint, its not sky high mileage either only 150k, ive yet to see a nicer s70r

[T5frankie]

A can not argue as she is a stunning example.

150k with all pars replaced means nothing to me.Gavs gull is over 200k I think and drives like new.

Spot on. I wanted to buy it off him last year but he was very undecided then. I've since heard rumblings of him possibly wanting to sell it again.
