Dream workshop!

Just love how polite and friendly they are…..just miss it. Clearly missed that one! Damn right jam goes on first!!!! That then allows an inch of the clotted stuff!

Lovely break thank you. Staying with my brother and his partner and just feels home from home. Weather has been a mix between overcast with very occasional “mizzle” and sun……could’ve been a tad warmer but we’ve had 3 good full days on the beach. Cornwall is a funny place for changeable weather

That’s one of the options I’m looking at? It’s either a 65 plate 3.0d portfolio S or a 13-15 3.0 petrol supercharged portfolio (preferred option but VERY rare). What are you thoughts on ownership?

Anyone down in the Cornwall (Penzance to be exact) area? We’ve been here on a break since Thursday and heading back late tomorrow afternoon with a 2-3hr stop in Taunton.

Very very nice example with steering audio controls and side air bags.

That’s one lovely looking example!

Sounds interesting

I like the idea of that. I think I maybe said before that I’d like my front 2 cm lower but god knows what that would do to my ride.

What a significant difference and improvement in the looks department……looks lovely mate! I was pleasantly surprised that the ride quality wasn’t compromised after I had mine done and was very impressed in the improvement of the handling, steering and cornering. Being on adjustable coilovers does that mean you could take it lower?

I bet that insulation made a hell of a difference in our noisy coupe?

Hello mate, from memory there is a 10mm-14mm bolt in the gap between rear back seat and bottom rear seat. You’ll need an extension on a ratchet and it’s a bit fiddly. After undoing this grab the front of the bottom seat (where is meets the carpet) and pull up as there are a couple of clips (made of either metal or a strong plastic) that are imbedded in metal floor on which the seat sits. You’re right mate, undo the 4 bolts under the seat. You might have to move the seat forwards and backwards to get them. I also put the back of the seat forward as it is easier to take the seat out of the car. I unplug the seat at the end.

I got mine done last Monday and have to say I also questioned if they’d done anything as the interior was unmarked, smudge free and just how I had left it. Also, correct me if I’m wrong, they’d need to have disconnected the battery right? If so the clock was not back to 00.00 (unless they reset the time) also my radio presets weren’t reset either along with the audio settings? The only way to have this confirmed would be to take the steering wheel off and check the bag right?

What’s the update with these mate? Really looking forward to seeing the coupe with these installed.

Very impressive mate! Kind of detailing I really appreciate. They must glide up and down now?

Still undecided if I’ll keep it as a second car. Budget is tight and I’m considering a 2008 Lexus 450H. There’s a little glimmer of hope inside me that this expansion will be reversed but then o come down to reality. What gets me is that there’s nothing in the mainstream media about all his dodgy antics around this entire process! It’s just on youtube. Anyway we’ll see.

Thank you as always. The cordless pressure wash definitely has its place and is an excellent solution for my circumstances. It doesn’t blast away mud from the arches but has a good go at it. I don’t mind going to the petrol station jet wash and spending £1-£2 every month to blast the arches. Also I have 2-3 parking spaces to myself when I wash the coupe and it’s so chilled and therapeutic. We live 1 mile inside junction Junction 25 of the M25……need I say anymore?!?!?!

They’ve come out a treat mate. What did you use to seal them?

I also invested in a cordless power wash……absolutely love it! Perfect for someone that lives in a flat. 6 buckets of water and can rinse, snow foam, rinse, 2 bucket wash and last rinse and still some water left. Obviously no where near as powerful as a proper jet wash but this is perfect for what I need to achieve.

I know I mentioned this on the WhatsApp group today but wanted to post it on the forum as well. Finally got round to washing and waxing the coupe today after 2 months! I deep cleaned and waxed the wheels a couple of days ago along with the engine bay. God I love this car!!!!! Effing ULEZ and Khan is doing my nut in……the thought of selling breaks my heart!

I received mine the other day. I think I might try and arrange another appointment. Hate the idea of anyone touching the coupe besides Stu of course.

Ah that makes sense now. I just thought there was a slight tweak on the styling at somepoint. Looks very nice mate and the paint job looks lovely. Yours has a clearance at the ends where it meets the tops of the rear quarter panels whereas mine has a 1 cm gap which means I have to lift the bootlid when washing in order to access the area the spoiler covers. Does yours have ACCORD imprinted in the light cluster?

You may have mentioned this already but is that an original spoiler? It looks different to mine?

I was sad to hear this at the meet and you now posting it makes it more real. Good luck mate and I can’t wait to hear what type of interest you get and how much it goes for.

You may know this already but leaving both connected means you’ll get a strong reflection off the spoiler from the rear screen brake light. This will most likely cause glare in your rear view mirror.
