Looks great, very similar to my 2011 but mine not the Le Mans. currently at 165,000 miles.

What did you sort the rear lights out with? the standard polishing kit?

Also next time you have it plugged in any chance of sharing the exhaust temperatures - pre turbo especially - we my other thread!!🤔

All the best

 

Hey mate... Yeah next time I plug it in I'll have a look.. You got a link to the thread? 

The lights I just used a standard headlamp restore kit... It is however started to come back so maybe I didn't do the uv protection properly... I had thought of just laquering them after the sanding stages next time tho... 

Thanks Bud... Yeah the le Mans spec was one of my must have options when looking for a car. 

And I think black is the best colour of them all, with the 19s it just has that presence...

Had to be a quattro... Just had to be.. 

Our old bus... Ford Smax 2.2 was writen of a month ago.. So I was forced into the position of needing a new car... 

So I tookbIt as a blessing and an opportunity to get a car I've always admired...
