I must say I thought you had under priced it a bit when you put your ad up on here. Great to hear its gone to my side of the bridge and will keep my eyes peeled for it. I am in the same camp as you regarding four seater convertibles. Enjoy the TTS.True-Blue wrote: ↑Sat May 08, 2021 1:33 pmWell, my Mrs was too scared to drive it, long bonnet, low driving position and it ‘feels really wide’... so after much deliberation, we decided to sell after all and buy a 4 seater. You’d already committed to your mineral grey one at this point.
It sold within 24hrs of listing a classified add on EBay, for a fair, but more market relative, price. Lovely couple from Cardiff, think it’s going to be a daily driver... they were smitten with it
We then sat together for hours looking at 4 seaters trying our hardest to get excited, and couldn’t!......

Well, I’ve started a bit of fettling this afternoon
Terrible photo quality, but good enough to see the swirl removal...

Many thanks, yes it’s coming up nicely.
TT bonnet seems a bit more prone to stone chips than a Z4, guess it’s the shape.

Well, I’ve been really busy with work and other stuff since picking up this car, but found some time for some fettling this weekend. New front discs and pads fitted… brakes so much better now. Previous owner had new Brembo pads fitted with old discs and the combo wasn’t great. Now running O.E. Textar and it’s miles better, still got the rears to do.
Broke out the trusty DA and started to do some more paint correction…

Yes all good, my Mrs treatment has so far been incredibly effective, but it leaves her feeling awful for ten days (pretty much non-functional) then semi-functional for few days and then relatively normal for a week… then starts all over again as Chemo is every 3 weeks.

I’m between Bristol and Bath, so miles away I’m afraid. Also, it takes me hours as I like to take my time… don’t have the speed (or desire) to do it for a living… I’d be tempted to do a few local cars (maybe) but I definitely need a new longer throw DA. In addition, it seems there are loads of people offering machine polishing on Facebook marketplace for not very much money… no idea how good a job they’d do thoughsw4nny wrote: ↑Sun Jul 04, 2021 6:16 pmThat looks like a top job,you dont live around south yorkshire do you?I could do with mine doing.True-Blue wrote: ↑Sun Jul 04, 2021 5:56 pm Well, I’ve been really busy with work and other stuff since picking up this car, but found some time for some fettling this weekend.
