Right after a few bits and pieces talking about it I finally got the car cleaned and managed to get a few pictures to post up.
Ive owned the car a week and first impressions are I love it. It really has captured me in a way few other cars Ive owned before have. Being Ive owned 10 cars in the last 12 years I dont keep them long but this is definately up there with my B6 S4.
The car, its a 09 W219 320 CDI. UK car brought to Ireland by the original owner. It has 50000 miles on the clock and is pretty much mint. I wasnt quite ready to buy it but a combination of a great trade in offer and it having the spec I wanted (black leather, black carpets and smoked wood dash) meant after a test drive I was smitten and took the plunge. As its an 09 it means its the facelift model, the diferences are subtle but the grille, wing mirrors and control layout inside are diferent. It also have different exhaust trims.
Driving wise it just makes you feel special when you get in, its a proper quality product and feels it.
Right some pictures
First things first I had to tax it for 12 months, so Im waiting on a very expensive bit of paper. Mods wise its not going to need much. Im going to enjoy driving it.
Plans are:-
Remap
Gearbox Service
Sat Nav map update
New Mats - Ordered
Replace the alloy wheel centre caps - bidding on
Led lighting - Started
New pressed plates and decent plate frames
So far I started to replace the standard lamps with leds
- you can just see the diference in the puddle lights here
