This car has been around for ages in Wimbledon area. It is still all OE. I even knocked the door years ago to see if it was for sale. Good find John.

Yeah it is very OE other than the radbourne decal strips in fact the new owner not JRP has refurbed the alloys and it needs a repair to the passenger door as someone tried to break in to it but other than that it is perfect runs like a dream and it so quiet and the engine sounds fantastic.

The strips aren't Radbourne decals, they were put on a few of the late cars in serveral dealships in the South, not sure about the rest of the UK.

That car did come from radbourne in wimbledon. I was with john when he brought it of the old chap in rosehill. I had a look at the cars old paper work and it has radbournes address an the number plates. so its been through there at some point.

Yes I know it came from Radbourne, I was only saying the Decals aren't a Radbourne one off. Several dealers did it to the last lot of cars they had to try and make them look like a limit edition.

when i brought my car from cgb he said they did do this to a few of the 5 turbos because they were takin a while to sell on the forecourt and was abit of a problem to get rid of.adding the stickers it wouldd make them apealing to the eyeand as you said pass them off as a limited eddition.im pretty sure he said it was only down the south london area they did this.

This is for the people who ask and ask for updates and i never bother.

Ok most of you now know iam very unhappy with my paint job.

So today armed with G3 compound, sonus polish compound, nattys wax (smells sexual) and a host of other goods i went to town on her.

Trying to sort out the things the body shop so woefully attempted to correct.... pathetic if iam to be truthful.

Anyhooooo it took fecking ages but i think one maybe two more sessions on it i may be a tad closer to being happier, this is how she now looks.

[Big Steve - Raider]

She looks absolutely Spangly-tastic mate!

Defincately looking forward to getting a picture of all these minty OE examples re-emerging now!

P.S. - I like your old man's new 5 series!

Good man, so how does it feel to be back on the road in a GTT after all this time

[JRP]

Just been out for a real mans drive.. i was out a mear 30 mins.. its true maidon trip...

I get some dude (white bob marley) rag his van along side and smile and say somthing... he had his thumbs up so i guess it was a good thing...

Then in the petrol station a police officer took the time to say how nice it looked... then he looked pissed off as i started it and he heard the sidey ... ohh well he passed me and didnt pull me over...

All in all i have not had that much fun since i owned a clio v6.. awsome!

Update.

Been offroad since november, bad weather etc

Thought id do somthing as i was bored, so the engine is out and stripped.
Been on a spending spree for a few weeks.

T25 turbo, Piper 300 spring and vernier may change to 285, forged pistons, steel liners, manifold (tubey), l/b flywheel, pretty large front mount.

so its ll go go here.. still in 2 minds wether to change the rods with the pistons etc (makes sense in my head)

anyway a few other things being done, general clean up of bay and under the car AGAIN...

So 563 miles done and now having a change up... pic to follow peace

[James5]

Come on Jerpa, you can't do an update without pic's

Can't believe me, Dave, Phil and yourself snapped the gear selector rod getting the engine out
