 Fish freak! MP Admin Posts: 14989      Location: Birmingham | Sara bought her new car a few weeks ago and here he is 53 plate with 33,600 miles on the clock, 1.8 135, Full leather interior, its a bloody nice car in all honesty           First mod was to fit a leather gear knob (OEM - along with new leather gaitors with red stitch detail - not pictured) as the standard Alloy one was absolutely freezing in the morning! Next plans are a new roof with glass rear screen and a set of 11 spoke's in dark silver off Mr Parker hopefully  | ||

Fish freak! MP Admin Posts: 14989 Location: Birmingham | It wasn't Sara's first choice of colour but she loved it when she saw it in the flesh really needs a machine polish as its covered in swirls and marring! We went to Wigan (about 75 miles away) to see a 1.6 and it was tappety as hell, and they decided to change the wheels from the 16" 6 spokes to the 15" 6 spokes and see if they could get away with it! Definately a better spec with the 135 and the power is soooo smooth | ||

 Metro Mad Posts: 7653 Location: Tamworth, Staffs | Looks alot nicer than it did when you called in, think you need to keep it that clean 24/7 and I know someone would agree with me  | ||

Fish freak! MP Admin Posts: 14989 Location: Birmingham | petrol_head - 3/1/2010 11:39 PM thats pretty swish, and im sure very good value for its year and condition whats it ride like? i heard they are a tad harsh compared to hydrogas Its nice, having never driven an F i cant comment but i wouldnt say its a bad ride at all. I believe its Solar Red yeah G And sorry the wheels wont be staying, definately having the 11 spokes on it might try these on mine later on lol | ||

Fish freak! MP Admin Posts: 14989 Location: Birmingham | This is a quick mock-up of the plans for him Probably wont be as low or even lowered but it looks nice Wheels are a definate, brakes later hopefully, and were toying with getting the black inserts colour coded as it needs a new front bumper anyway  | ||

Metro Mad Posts: 7653 Location: Tamworth, Staffs | Thats crap! Need to rotate the front wheel as the caliper is too high. Raise the ride height as the only way you can get a TF that low is by cutting the springs. btw project tf is lowered with the comfort suspension so your have to have a ride in it so you can feel the difference | ||

Fish freak! MP Admin Posts: 14989 Location: Birmingham | Fitted the personalised plates this morning, was a piece of cake to get swapped over at the DVLA, was expecting a wait of a few days to put the plates on but could do it straight away   And the nice leather gaitors which make a nice difference for less than a tenner  Going to look into the 2009 front bumper conversion as it needs a new one anyway and Sara prefers the new shape | ||

Metro Mad Posts: 7653 Location: Tamworth, Staffs | retake the interior pic, the heater knob isn't inline with the others plate looks good on the car though | ||

Fish freak! MP Admin Posts: 14989 Location: Birmingham | Not really an update but a quick pic to show how its looking at present Matt did the head gasket a couple of months ago as it was showing signs of going so we had it done before it got too bad, aswell as a rear wheel bearing and some other bits, but other than that we haven't done much too it, although we are waiting on a new roof with glass screen to be fitted *cough* Thanks to Matt again for taking the picture  MG Live TF by Pandy100, on Flickr | ||
