Title: 2009 Black Pirelli
Post by: Rickster on May 04, 2016, 11:00:50 am
Hello

By way of introduction, my name is Ricky and I will be posting some pictures of my Pirelli in the next few days. I bought it from VW Norwich just before Xmas. It's Black, 3dr with 26k on the clock. I haven't invested a great deal of time or money into it. I will keep it standard as I don't plan on keeping it beyond Summer 2017.

Since buying it, its had 4 new Pirelli GT tyres, major service, 25 hour paint correction with ceramic coating applied for 2 year protection. I have bespoke mats which seem the norm with Pirelli editions. That is it apart from the odd bulb change.

Great car in my opinion. I had an R32 for 3 years for the summer months only and was a member of the R32OC. I bought that in 2012 with 8k on the clock and sold it three years later with just 14k. Superb car. I will try and find some pictures and post them in this thread also.

Pictures will be up by the weekend.

Thanks for reading.

Rick :happy2:

Welcome Rick! I have also just bought a black Pirelli! You mention bespoke mats? I would be interested to see those and where they can be bought as I have cheap rubber ones in mine!

Thanks mate :happy2:

I may lean towards r-tech in a couple of months. I generally keep my cars standard with the odd tweak.

Pirelli Looks stunning. That blue is the best colour for the R32 though, they all look very well looked after  :drool:

No worries, Love a well detailed and looked after car.

Did you do the detailing yourself?

No, a good friend details them for me and I keep on top of it. The Pirelli has ceramic coating (CQuartz) and it is a dream to maintain. Would recommend that. Best 50 quid I spent buying that. :smiley:

Cool, sounds like a good deal. I do my own but usually use Gtechniq products. Very similar though in terms of performance/price and as you say it's so easy to keep on top of it once it's got a coating like that on. Posted up a link to those LED number plate lights on my thread  :happy2:

Looks good, I saw you in it the other week in Sainsbury's on pound lane, I was in the company car.
You work up by Thorpe business park?

Hi mate, they are Black. Well worth the money. The quality is superb.
