My 05 RRS. Newish member.

Hi All, been lurking around a while.
Just given the car a bit of a wash so thought I'd post a few pics.
2005 SE 2.7 TDV6 97k. Seem to have everything the HSE has but crappy alloys!
Gonna keep them as a winter set, and put some 20's on in Spring.
Stuff to date . Cambelt, EGR blanking, Hawke Tips.
Not planning on doing too much ( I say that now), just new wheels, privacy glass on Thursday, and carbon wrap interior wood.
Oh yes and putting some Hawke side vents on, and new lettering lol.

Anyway, wash, wax and windows treated today Smile

The tyre oil is pointless coming down our track each morning but I do want to get something for the black plastic trim!

The tyres would look great done. Best get a quote to Tarmac the track :/)))

Having the tyres looking good is crucial - I would consider moving Whistle

Spain 

The best thing you can do is to get the lower black plastic parts painted body colour, so much easier to clean. I never found anything that kept the black trim looking good. In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

I love the colour. How long have you had her, and where did you buy from?

Around 2 months although I was immediately away for first 4 weeks ownership.

Just a garage in Soutgampton, however found it lived it's life just around the corner, and know where it was serviced etc.

Love it, except for sluggish pulling out!

Thanks buddy, it's quite an easy mod for less than £20!

Finally got rid of 18"s and put 20"s on.

Need decent side steps next. Wife bless her ordered some as a gift and got side bars instead.

Will leave them in a few months so not to seem ungrateful.
