Nice but it's let down by the non-factory tints.

Might be a stupid question but how can you tell they're non factory? I've looked and can't see any difference from pics.

Looks nice BTW

It's VERY clear to me.......you can clearly see the heating wires in the glass......Factory fit is stained glass, not a film and looks much much better.

As JF has said - you can see the elements in the window. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

nice motor to have at 23!

there are a crowd called Greenlight who seem very competitive over here in Northern Ireland, so dont know if they'll operate over in Scotland (although I dont see why not) who were advertising on another forum I use, and they seem to specialise like Adrian Flux, with modified motors. maybe worth giving them a call?

personally, i'm not a fan of too much black, and I really dont like black wheels, but i do think your RRS is pretty pimp looking, especially at your age!

I'm loving the car. Done about 600 miles so far and thankfully no problems. Done a couple of nice runs, one up the glens of Antrim and to Tyrella last Friday evening. Only thing I could complain about is that the Sat nav sends you some strange routes. You get where you want to go but there is usually another route which makes more sense. So far I'm getting about 25 mpg which is about what I expacted. The blue tooth pairing is excellent as is the i-pod connection. Said RRS is now on order.

glad to hear you're enjoying it so much!

you must be heavier on the right foot than I was as the 24hour drive I had from Hursts I returned 30.8mpg

Sat nav really isn't the best - I told Martin I didn't think it was great, and he told me it was class leading sat nav! My dad has an A8, and the nav in it is brilliant. plus I have my garmin for anytime I really get stuck! Does the sat nav still not do full 7 digit postcode search?

Tyrella is down my neck of the woods - did you take it onto the beach? lol
