E85 Deep Green - Newbie not a Newbie
Hi all,
I've been on the forums for a couple of years, but realised I haven't introduced myself properly so here goes
On my second 2l E85. Picked up a couple of weeks ago. The colour is called Deep Green Metallic. One of only 41 E85s sold in UK! The odd ones I have seen before always seem to have full cream/beige interior, which personally isn't to my taste (especially with it being my daily). So got lucky with black interior. Pics don't do her justice as the paintwork is absolutely stunning in person. Based in East Midlands.
Bits done
Transport mode delete
Roof motor reconditioned and relocated
New front lower bushes
ZHP
Bluetooth via adaptor in boot
Black Kidney Grills
Stubby aerial
Debadged
Added carbon decals to emblems
Floor mats
Wheel caps
Bits to do
Roof pump
Backbox Delete (booked in 01/05)
Passenger window regulator (part ordered)
Gaptech module
Vanos Solenoids
Coil packs
Clear 3rd brake light
Wheels & Caliper refurb
Lowering Springs
Fog light condensation
Any suggestions or advice with any of the above always appreciated, as am on a relative budget.
Regards
Rick

Hi Rick and welcome aboard.
Your car looks great in that colour - although unlike you I would have preferred an interior that wasn't black.
