    thought it was grey from the first pic, but looks the purply colour in the 3rd. Either way looks in very good condition, love the way of blanking your plates lol

    I have a set of those 'Camera Beating Plate Covers' they're Fantastic..

    Obviously if you do happen to get pulled by the Plod you merely say you have just taken some pictures to put on ebay and had forgotten to remove them prior to your journey.

    Yes you can just seal up the recirc if you wish but would have to be a "good" and strong seal. You are better off spending £15 and doing it properly with a plate though.
    Arguing is pointless....she may not be right but she's never wrong

    Tell her a remap is just having your satnav updated.....

    LoL..Welcome to our world (t5)

    Had plenty of ops to buy a new motor a couple of years ago after havin my Volvo 5 Years, but I didn't buy, because "none" of them delivered that satisfaction I got from me Volvo`s !

    Would like to drive a focus ST for the feel but I am Volvo smitten from 2000 !

    PS: Get out of that disabled spot, as that manual is more than able LOL !
    Be safe, respect other road users + ENJOY
    This cold weather is fantastic for performance....But watch your grip !!!

    Turn down the Ghost killer Wutang LOL !

    Cheers
