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.

It's having a service on Tuesday and I'm getting that bumper sorted, it's deffo not right, touch wood no issues during the ownership, which is surprising as I cane it :)

miles do nothing to these cars ... i sold one 18months ago that had 75k on

your best bet when you come to sell it, is on here .... i'd buy it in a shot !

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 :-)
