Nice Car - Cool Colour

Here's to smiles and smiles of happy motoring!!

monsta · Jul 6th, 2002, 11:32 AM

Did you dealer fit the chequered roof? it's round the wrong way!

Cool car though

simontay · Jul 6th, 2002, 02:04 PM

Yes, dealer did fit it - I see what you mean, although it lines up nicely with the bonnet stripes!

Maybe I'll mention it to them.

Car is great fun though, even more of a head turner than our purple Z3!

What is it with you and shiny bits Smiffy??

Seriously though, where did you get the flags badge, MG Rover dealer? How much?

Apial · Jul 7th, 2002, 04:54 AM

Your dealer should be shot! The roof decal is definately back to front. Don't let him get away with it, or else the next time he services the car he will probably put the engine back in the boot!

Apart from that, I think it is a VERY GOOD choice. Not that I'm biased or anything...

Im like a magpie, I like shinny stuff

Badge is from MG Rover & was just over a 310 but worth it

Dealer is putting a new roof on on Thursday!

Good for you simontay!

It could have been worse. I know of one dealer who cut a hole too big for the intended sunroof! Very red faces at dealership.

I'm suprised the dealer didn't try to convince you that the mistake may give your car added collector's value...sort of like a badly minted stamp or coin.

simontay · Jul 9th, 2002, 04:57 PM

But the curved checks at the back of the car get more irritating the more you look at them. And Shelli does not like the way the bonnet stripes don't quite line up with the roof.

If the wife's not happy, then work out the rest...

monsta · Jul 10th, 2002, 04:26 AM

Here's mine just to confirm:

Leggy · Jul 10th, 2002, 04:32 PM

Fab pictures of "Custard". Only 2 weeks and 3 days to go until I get my yellow ONE "Zebedee" - no checks / stripes but I shall love him all the same.

Marts · Jul 10th, 2002, 06:26 PM

Welcome SimonTay. Nice car,,,, not my colour, but the decals set it off really nicely.

simontay · Jul 11th, 2002, 08:20 AM

Thanks, I'll post more pictures when the roof is sorted!

simontay · Jul 12th, 2002, 01:19 PM

Dealer has collected the car (supplied a loan car), sorted the roof and delivered it back. Very pleased too!

Well done Barons of Hindhead!

Simon

ELISEBOY · Jul 16th, 2002, 08:21 AM
