If I was old enough to do the insurance on a tubby... This is the one I'd have!

Thanks mate.

Now on eBay and Pistonheads.

Beautiful car!
If someone would buy my Z3M, I'd be all over this turbo!!

[J-1]

Thanks mate.
It really is a cracking car! I don't suspect it'll hang around long to be honest. Sonic shadows are pretty rare these days!

I know that when I sell it I'll regret it

Hi, a few questions...
What was the reason for the respray? Colour change? Accident damage etc?
Any rust anywhere?
Anything not working exactly as it should do?
Could be wrong but don't the JDMs have the twin tail lights each side? Your vids show only single red lights illuminated.
many thanks

I got it resprayed because I just wasn't happy with the condition with the paintwork when I bought the car (although it was still pretty good for its age, it just wasn't perfect!). No colour change or accident damage. Rust free too!

Everything works perfectly. As for the twin tail lights - I have no idea!
The car is an import.

Rev 3+ light setup

Lights on = Outer light up
Brake = All four light up

I suspect as like what happen to mine the importer changed the wiring to accommodate a fog light setup.

I changed my setup to have all four on dim when i have my lights on and all four shine bright when i brake. There are FAQS on here to show you, dont let that stop to purchasing a good car

Nice car btw

Just curious but how much did it cost you to get your 2 resprayed? Thinking of getting mine done sometime. Great looking car though. Like these sonic shadows.

i don't suppose you received a message on ebay about a renaultsport clio 200 did you?

if it was you, ebay won't let me see your response. if it wasn't, ignore all of this! lol.

stu.

[muckyman]

has this sold?

[J-1]

No message recieved about a Clio.

Still here.

[muckyman]

I may be selling mine tomorrow so could be ready to move on a replacement almost straight away.
A few more questions though....
How much tax and MOT is left? Any advisories on the last MOT? What boost is the car running at the minute? Are there any other modifications that haven't been mentioned in the advert? Any problems, regardless of how small? Any warning lights up? Are receipts and paperwork available for all the service work? When did the cambelt last get changed? (sorry, might have missed that in the advert)... Any chips in the windscreen, scratches to the body, dents or rust etc? Any interior wear? Any mechanical issues while you owned it? (I've not had time to go through your old posts yet..) Is the alarm backed up with a thatcham approved certificate?
I know thats a lot of questions but if I wasn't interested, I wouldn't waste your time.
thanks in advance
Michael
