Shame pat I would of had it off you was it complete like that.



I've got access to a car trailor pat , and my diesel pulled it with a e36 compact on board from Plymouth, they can't weigh much more than a Beemer we picked two beemers up from down there.

One on the volvo and the bigger e36 on the transit

I like my gold multi spokes a nice set of 5 spokes would be nice dx

As I'm a contractor my income fluctuates wildly - which pretty much prevents me making any financial commitments outside of the short term

however, I like your gold alloys enough that i can imagine them under my car, so if they do become available, please let me know what you'd want for them and I'lll consider if I can afford it at the time.

Might even go for a cruise to the coast and take you out for a bacon sandwich ;-)

I will mate I'm in no hurry at the moment and they came off a green v40 they looked good. I've had too change the tyres on them for michelin's. As the ones I bought them with were all slashed looked like someone had knifed them

@ pat how many x40's have you got lol I thought you only had two lol

I know it needs the head gasket doing + cambelt. And I think it looks good with the waterfall grill, being silver v40

Just the two now Kieran .

T4's do not go for that much, insurance, fuel and road tax on the later ones puts people off, one day they will be collectable, so if I was you, look for a low mileage one, that's not been played with. (mine lol)

Buy this one.... 42 mpg lol

Bit of an old thread but:-

I added new side repeater indicators and, well look!

[druid]

Just adding that a Renault Clio rear wiper fits an a V40 and looks corect!

Tint the windows. Makes any car look more modern instantly! Fit larger wheels and lower the suspension, add an egg crate grill and do the black headlamp conversion.

There is also a Ph2 front splitter available off the sport lux that looks ace and colour coding the plastics goes a long way too!

Hope this helps!
