Not bad for 5+ years old and 76k on the clock

Gave the RS a wash today and thought it was looking rather good for an old, high mileage example, so took a couple of pics :)

Wow, that looks sweet! Thought the paint in black wasn't long lasting and showed imperfections but yours looks awesome - great pics though - you are missing a milltek of course - no excuse (cat back non-res valved - DO IT!)

Worth looking at the bumper gap - some pictures look like it needs a slight tweak upwards.
Looks good though

Yup, looks nice... any major issues with reliability during your ownership?

Looks spot on mate. Me, I think they get better with age and rarity.

Looking great, about time we had some picture whoring.

The Titan pack looks spot on.

I'm glad that comment is on there, my car has just come back from having bumpers resprayed and the gap on mine isn't right. Checked it out myself and they've not put it back on the adjusters correctly, so even screwing them in made no difference. Just gone back in to be sorted out but I'm glad I read that because I know it's not just me seeking perfection!!!

Very nice motor too, although I think you will find that Sprint Blue is the fastest colour :-)
