She certainly looks good after a good polish. Going to give her a clay this summer to get all the crap off.
Bit of maint required as well, as in new cylinder head cover seals need doing as showing signs of leakage. Cheaper to do it then keep putting oil in seeing the prices of it!!!

im glad about the front fogs tho as idont like the look of them on the d9 ithink DRL s wouid look better than fogs ,

i prefer the front fogs. gives it that aggressive look. If you mean the lights like the Audis have....god i hate those. They think they are something special, tearing up behind you on the motorway!!! Pet hate!!!!

Indeed.. tailgating scum.
What does the B on the plates stand for, matey, if I dare ask?

B=Belgium. Not the normal Belgian plates as they are red and white. These are for foreign nationals working in Belgium. Its great when back in UK as no speed camera tickets!!!!!!!!

i'm sure the law in the UK would catch up with ya if you went through a speed camera.

its too much paperwork for them so they just dont bother. Been flashed plenty over the past 2 years and nothing!! Will behave when it goes back on UK plates though!

can your number only plate be transfered to a UK registered car ? it'd be very interesting that because in the UK that would be a rare plate .
