I’ve owned an early 03/16 Nitrous, (my first RS), for all but two years now, in short, I’ve had 14’000 miles of great fun, the RS is infectious, and if I am honest I am hooked.
Thus, after two enjoyable years, my path inevitably remains one of the RS faith, and long story short, last week I was chopping in the 16 RS for an 18 RS Edition.
I hadn’t seen one in the flesh prior to taking delivery, so I was chuffed to find this car was just what I’d hoped for, spot on, and I am really happy.
I can’t wait to get some miles behind the wheel, but for now, a quick wash and a few shots.
I’ve had the car a month now, and I’ve got to say I am really enjoying the car, the mileage is nearing 1100 miles, (I can hardly believe how quickly the miles have gone on the car), very few of those miles are urban as the vast majority of my driving is done in rural areas, as a result the car lives on a diet of mainly B roads, of which it makes short work while snorting it’s way through the V Power.
I’d been thinking of fitting the bonnet struts on my first RS but never got around to doing it, anyway, this time around I thought I’d crack straight on with it and get them fitted. I am really happy with them, we’ll see how they perform over the longer term, fingers crossed.
Happy RSing Folks
blue047 – Firstly, congrats on your incoming Edition, imo this car is fantastic, your absolutely going to love it.
With regards to cleaning the roof, I am currently finishing off the last of my Bilt Hammer Auto wash, it’s advertised as a shampoo that’s wax and additive free, and as of yet the matte roof still looks as it did on collection from the dealership, with no polishing or glazing appearing to be evident, I reckon I’ll have finished this shampoo in the next wash or two, and like you, I have been eyeing up some products that I’d like to try out, particularly with the matte roof in mind.
Going forward, I ‘ve decided to give the Nanolex line of Matte specific products a go next, I do like to try different products, so thought I’d stock up and give their ‘Matte Spray Sealant – 100ml kit’ a try to protect the roof, and thereafter, do the routine washes with their ‘Matte reactivating Shampoo’. They also have other Matte specific products, but for now we’ll start with these and see how we get on.
Here’s a pic of the kit.
Billy3 – Thankyou for the compliment mate, the car really has me hooked.
By the way, I enjoyed reading what you guys posted in the North West Dyno thread, thanks for posting up.
