Cheers for that buddy!
Elite RR? Not heard of that one- how much we talking? smile was it not too Lairy with an aftermarket back box?

Yep ditched fuse 19 and the sound is glorious but really want it to scream!
The back box alone was £819, look here about halfway down the page - http://www.eapj.com/indexservice_exhaust_upgrades....

It's louder certainly, but it's still possible to drive fairly quietly if you go easy on the loud pedal. You get used to it though, but if you really want it to scream then even a middle section without any silencers probably won't cut it.

Is there much X-Type hate on here? I seem to find myself hearing a lot of Mondeo remarks, to which I usually reply "yes, but it's a Ghia X".

Anyway, here's mine.

Three years of being surprised by how good it looks in the car park then realising that I'm the one that's about to drive it away...

Good looking car, ageing gracefully.

Thanks!

It still looks the part, although it's not dynamically advanced, it certainly cruises around nicely enough and it's a very relaxing drive.

My missus, however, detests the thing. Apparently it runs on the wrong fuel, hasn't got enough pedals, and it has a great big lump of wood on the dashboard.

Thanks. I'm really pleased with it. It's hard to get a picture that captures the colour (IRR) nicely though. Here's another thats a bit better (was taken while there was a lovely sunset which really made the colour pop)

Latest acquisition. Utterly in love with it!
After a 4.2 NA centre pipe (less resonators than my xkr) if anyone knows of one for sale/spare?

I've got the Milltek back box on mine. Sounds Epic. No droning, loud only when you put foot down, not gruff or annoying at startup and idle.
Big thumbs up.

This was a thought - can only find the full system online though and not just the back box. Mind PM'ing me cost etc and details please?

My little bit of British-ness! Picked it up in September - just over 6000 miles in and love it!

XE R-Sport 2.0d 180 Auto in now discontinued Dark Sapphire metallic.

How ace. How are you finding it?

I need to order my next car this week and I'm stuck between the XE r sport and the A4 S line

I've had it a few months now but here's my XE S after a clean and me trying a photo from an arty angle


And the interior...
What a beauty. Have you driven an A4 / 3 series? How does it compare?

Took my Vantage to Dovehouse Cars for a check up and came away with this instead.
Loving the noise!

Sorry for the quality, I only had my phone with me.
No doubt they'll be many more photos to come.
