Type R #10 - Premium deep violet pearl FD2 (facelift)

[Doodle]

Also managed to get hold of a free service book as my local dealer has the administrators in

City Motors are in serious trouble. Seat and Skoda dealers ceased trading last Tuesday.

This 2nd incarnation is looking delicious.

Mugen grille in 'crystal black pearl' on the way shortly.

Minor update.

Very quickly turnaround from retention of cherished plate > purchase of car > new v5 received.

To that end I received my v5 today and proceeded to get my unique to the car plate on which I held on to when the white one went.

I also got hold of some decent and thin double sided 3m tape to put back on my steering wheel trim.

Also put on my 'mugen' mats to keep the oem in pristine condition underneath.

Awesome colour for the FD2, didn't even know they made them in this colour.
Awesome example, like the mods

looking better now with the wheels on but I do prefer the white one still.

What was the wind deflectors you had on the white one? as they looked to have more of a streamline to them?

It would be a boring world if we all liked the same thing the colour has to be appreciated in the flesh, iPhone "pics don't do it justice"

Out of my 6 ep's the one I liked the best was the white one , closely followed by my black AE and i felt the silver did nothing for the car

These ones are oem wind deflectors. White ones were mugen, which I'll get in time.

The paint is lovely in the flesh. Nice flake on it.

lol Looks good Dotty. Mugen floor mats Woohooo.

Do love the paint colour on this car. Looks cracking.

 

[ep3typer2013]

what happened to the white one? You traded it in?

 

[Scottish Type-R]

Dotty, I'm waiting for you to get a FD2 Mugen RR at some point.

Had my Clifford cat 1 fitted today.

It's the 330x2 so a 2-1 upgrade from the oem immobiliser. It uses the oem key to unlock and lock the car with no extra fob.

Mu discs / pads and 3/4 braided lines on. Front left proved a pain for the local garage , who I won't be using again ..will let Tgm sort that out.

For the first time ever I used a machine polisher earlier. A daunting experience ...

Tried the bonnet first as the mugen will be here soon so thought I'd use that as my testing platform , in case it went tits up - that went well .. so went on and did the roof .. very pleased with results, a few holograms and stubborn marks removed, though this went well I think I'll look for a das6 pro. I think a rotary is beyond my capabilities :lol:

Very nice car, loving the rims.

Is that head unit with the reverse camera as standard?

Optional extra I believe, the camera I mean.
