Heres my Rover 25 project

Only owned it 8 months, my second car after my Corsa 1.2. This is a 1.4 so it's chalk n cheese in the power department. The newly fitted Exhausts system cost me £390 but has definately improved performance and I think it looks great. I wanted it to look like my Neighbours AMG C63. I get huge enjoyment out fo smoking the chavs in there 1.0 cars, it definately doesn't feel like it only does 0-60 in 10.7, exhaust probably helps imporve this.



Next job is to paint the calipers and rear brakes, not sure whether to go black, silver or red. All comments welcome.

Thanks for looking

I appreciate it doesn't look anything like a C63, but you have to admit it imporves the rear end completely. I wouldn't choose that shade of red, woudln't work well with the blue.

Troll??

Perhaps get it in the air and ensure there isn't too much rust first. Following that, perhaps a good service to make sure it's performing as well as it can.

Sorry about the spelling errors.... I type to quickly

Just driven home in it, such a well rounded car. Also just bought 3m of carbon vinyl wrap, only £23. I will probably do the wing mirrors first.

Cheers

Don't. Take the wrap back and claim your £23 refund.

Are you sure your neighbour doesn't have a Porsche 911? (with the tailpipes on the wrong sides)

That could be because it actually takes 11.8 seconds.

I had one of these, it was dire.

Peugeot 306 better in basically every way.
