So did you ask about Ryan Giggs?

Sorry have I missed something??

The guy you bought it from had in his advert that it belonged to the Giggs family! Soon debunked here, although what else did he tell fibs about

Oh dear, well I'll never know as I am owner number 6! Can't comment. But id quite like the rest of the records/receipts Ssymes007 has...it may be the engineer in me but currently not knowing what is and isn't fitted to the car bugs me and without dismantling it all cylinder head inc I won't know. Also OllyJ you're very local to me so lemme know if you have any old records for your departed car! Makes me feel uneasy, I like to know the details!!

I saw you yesterday on the m25 and it looked really nice! Sadly I was not in my vx at the time. Welcome to the forum!

Brilliant! We should have a flag or secret wave or something joke

I have a special "signal" for Lotus drivers! Not really they're a great bunch.

I think Olly has the owners manual etc, I'll ask him for you

[karlb123]

Thanks if you could that would be great! I just whipped a door card off in less than 3 mins, what's all the fuss about? Haha

[ollie2007]

Door cards is where it starts, :tt:once you get the bug then comes the modding and the expensive bit. Me and Rudy went out for a good blast down to Swanage today and this is why I love these plastic toys.

OllyJ took the front clam off quicker

Spent last night trying to google for some parts I want but not much luck =/

  Just post what you're looking for, and you should get some decent advice on where to get it, and best used or new.

Thanks I will do this evening! Does anyone know how to get the carbon fibre door mirror covers off? The lacquers peeled off and I want to send them away to my cousin for renewing along with my door cars

[karlb123]

So wing mirror covers have some sort of sticky tape so will use my heat gun to soften it up to help.

 

1st task was to get rid of a rattle in door, sounded like loose/free screw to mine and Renny's ears...

As I said above was quite a quick and painless process getting door cards and trim off.

The silver bits are very tacky to touch and just tatty so being sent away for a respray.

 

 

I noticed the seal on the pax door was compromised so I will replace this and seal back up, so it looks tidier and also sealed!

 

 

This allen bolt/screw head is getting rounded off and I was lucky to free it with the right tools! Does anyone know where I can get a replacement?

 

 

Also spotted something failed to see when looking around pre-purchase, some damage to wing mirror mount. Again where can I get one of these as this will bug me.

 

 

Finally my friends joked the car would be a bit of a pussy magnet, I didn't believe them until....

I think I have some spare mirror plinths kicking about, I'll have a hunt round the loft.

[karlb123]

Thanks FLD, let me know!

[Andrew aka Stuwy]

red soft top would suit that nicely

[Andrew aka Stuwy]

I see you've already been "spotted" on your way home!

 

that takes the p*ss... it was 4 years until I was first spotted (properly)  

[Potatoes]

I was spotted by a PistonHeader on the Pistonheads "Yorkshire Spotted" thread on my first drive in my VX... not been spotted on here yet either

[karlb123]

Yeah but then my silver/black scheme is ruined! haha

Cats are a fcuking menace with the VX. They seem to like curling up on the boot lid grills soaking up the heat of the engine and using the soft top as a hammock whilst leaving there hard to remove hairs everywhere. 😼😠

Haha I would of shooed her on but it is our own cat and she isn't that bad...we just need to teach her to close the front door behind her as she has no problem opening it!

Thanks Barton, please keep me posted on this

[Barton]

Pop round mine on Sat mate 10.30am if your about as the NPC are at my pad to swap out my suspension, nice silver and black theme here

[cressey]

Yeah cats are a menace with my VX. Two of the neighbours cats had a fight over whose hammock it was which resulted in scratches in the roof. Was not happy at all. I'd have a hard job shooing this one though. It looks so sad, in fact I think it's trying the puppy dog eyes technique.
