Okey Dokey
Will do - these were my first attempt and were origially pasted into a Word doc to send to my friends in work (jpegs etc are filtered/blocked).

Bank Holiday weekend coming up here so next Tues/Wed (I'm making it extra long) should have some better pics.

Agree with Jeroen, we want larger pictures, it seems to be a very nice car

Hi Sierpien,

Thanks for that - promise I will attach better pictures soon.
I like the paint job you've done on your car, nice stripes too reminds me of the 2002 turbo colours.
Would like to do a repaint with mine too- was touched up not very well some years ago.
Though it is metallic the surface is getting very dry and lacks real sparkle even after polishing.

Later

Metallic bronze??? Is it Topasbraun-metallic?

Very nice car!
Steel mirror, old dashboard, old rear lights and... aaah.
I think myself, that older is more beautiful than facelift.

Muke,

you got it, Topazbraun Metallic is the colour.
Yeah I too like the older style interior - these cars must have been something when they were new..... pure style.

Sweet car! Would be even sweeter if the pics were larger

Very low mileage too - do you know when the engine was changed?

Sierpien,
What a neat way to preview a new colour on your car using 'Paint' I like it

Sorry I havent got the larger photos up yet - just back from a very long Bank Holiday weekend

Orjan,
I dont know exactly when it was changed but the last owner told me it was done out of E21 revival in the UK two years before he bought it (not sure if they are still going - no listing on Google??). So by my estimation the engine was changed about 4.5 - 5 years ago.
