[font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"]Hi all,[/font]

[font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"]I've only had this for a few months, but a recurring shoulder injury is making it 'challenging' for me to use as a daily driver. As I need to get something more 'comfortable' for a while, this is now reluctantly for sale.[/font]

[color=#282828;][font="'times new roman', serif;"]- Rear diffuser just fitted

Rear clam and drivers door have recently been painted at great expensive to get rid of the osmosis that was previously there. Also the interior door cards where painted in oem silver. [/color][/font]


[color=#282828;][font="'times new roman', serif;"]Full service history, its recently had an oil service and has MOT until 28th July 2017 (no advisories) I have 2 keys, V5 and loads of receipts.[/color][/font]

 

[color=#282828;][font="'times new roman', serif;"]In the few months I have had the car I've done a few bits as follows.....[/color][/font]

[color=#282828;][font="'times new roman', serif;"]An intermitant EML light showed that the rear lambda sensor needed replaced. This was changed, with a genuine GM part. Problem solved.[/color][/font]

[color=#282828;][font="'times new roman', serif;"]I had a rear diffuser fitted (I think they look so good with a diffuser, but I also have the original one if you want to go back to standard)[/color][/font]

[color=#282828;][font="'times new roman', serif;"]I plasti-dipped the little panels in front of the side air intakes. I think it looks great, but if you don't like it then it simply peels off and the paints perfect underneath.[/color][/font]

[color=#282828;][font="'times new roman', serif;"]The roof has been water proofed with Fabsil Gold, and both roof cables have been replaced with the newer, better design, cables.[/color][/font]

[color=#282828;][font="'times new roman', serif;"]I have obsessively chased down interior rattles and cured them. Its now the most rattle free VX I've been in - although you wouldn't ever describe one of these as being 'quiet'. Anti-rattle door striker pins were also fitted a month or so ago.[/color][/font]

[color=#282828;][font="'times new roman', serif;"]Windows have been adjusted as required and the car is now absolutely water tight. Not a single drop gets in even after a full night of torrential rain.

The car is based in St Albans, Hertfordshire[/color][/font]

 

[color=#282828;][font="'times new roman', serif;"]£11.5k  [/color][/font]

 

[color=#282828;][font="'times new roman', serif;"]thanks[/color][/font]

[color=#282828;][font="'times new roman', serif;"]Michael[/color][/font]

 

[color=#282828;][font="'times new roman', serif;"]....for now, photos can be seen by clicking on the link to the original advert from when I bought it (at the top of this post). Below are a couple of recent pics just to show the rear diffuser and the plasti-dipped side pod panels (in case you were curious). [/color][/font]

[color=#282828;][font="'times new roman', serif;"]I'll get my own photos done this weekend, weather dependant.[/color][/font]

If you click on the link in the second paragraph, it'll take you to the advert that I bought it from. There are photos in there from the summer. I'm hoping to get some of my own done at the weekend Cheers Michael

Appears that today (4th November) that Photobucket is down, so photos not showing up at the minute. Hopefully it'll be fixed soon....

I've seen this car in person a couple of times, I can say it's a really good one. Just bad time of year to sell the car.

Congrats on the sale, I'm curious if you had to drop the price much as I'm currently looking at a couple of cars myself. Pm me if you wish,

Thanks
