Just bought this 2 owners from new both oap's

not good seat covers it came with, now removed to reveal seats that have hardly been sat it!

The best bit under 61,000 on the clock

Need to sort out a couple of things, central locking isnt working, needs a dam good wash and the paint cleaning up, finish wireing up my sterio, grease & clean front electric windows as they stick a bit.

It looks good but if I were you id paint the bumpers, specially the rear one!!! i has lost the colour.

Yeah ive given the bumpers a quick back to blacking and it does look so much better.

Id forgotten how much of a pain the grey bumpers are after being spoilt with painted bumpers for the past 3 years or so

Looks good, low mileage is always good.

The great thing is take the seat covers off to reveal seats that have hardly been sat in!

You can see the pattern in the seats something i couldent do in my 90,000 216 sli. *laughs*

Its been treated to a good wash and a polish today, just got to back to black the door rubbing strips.

Hi, i find with my grey bumpers that autogylm bumper care is the best stuff, it lasts for a good few weeks, i have grown to quite like the half red half grey on my rover, its a nice contrast

Ive used the autoglym stuff before when i had a 216sli.
Ive got some simonz stuff that i was given, works well but you have to do it regulary.

The mud flaps were very sunbleached, but i find if you use some baby oil on them first then follow up with some bumper grey stuff the next week.
