My 335d

clart · 02-08-2015, 04:01 PM

So after a couple of months searching I found this. Currently on winters (the standards were included in the sale). I love it, feels like a absolute weapon. Yes it's filthy, I already done the interior as the leather was a bit grubby. Feels like it's done at half the actual mileage! It's got a decent warranty, and its cheaper to tax and insure than the Clio 182!

nice! got any plans for it?

I put a set of black matte grills on mine, made it look so much tougher!

C.J · 02-08-2015, 04:09 PM

Looks good. Change those rings

clart · 02-08-2015, 04:10 PM

Not a lot, other than some Cree angel eye bulbs. Might put the badge back on and some black grills. Standard wheels need a refurb so will get them done while they are off the car.

good to know you found one with the interior you wanteed. the lemon and gloss black trims go great. get some black front kidney grilles and new angel eyes and will make a difference! get a lip spoiler too!

Stealth! Where did you pick it up from and where were you searching? On the hunt for a well spec'd 330D / 335D.

clart · 02-09-2015, 09:25 AM

found it on ebay but i was looking every day for about 2 months. try the usual, gumtree, pistonheads, ebay, autotrader.

Any opinions on black grills? what are the best option, are the cheap ebay ones any good?

Lovely interior!

Goodbye manky spare key.

Bought another key off eBay. Swapped internals. £8 well spent.

clart · 02-24-2015, 11:11 AM

First garage visit to check an oil leak. Apparently need a new turbo oil feed pipe. Really hope its not a money pit!

Is swapping the key internals easy? I will need to find a 'comfort access' case though, which may be more difficult!

clart · 02-26-2015, 08:35 AM

Yeah its surprisingly easy. Weren't the CA keys the same ?

theweatherdog · 02-26-2015, 09:32 AM

The CA keys have a flap in the back to change the battery as it is not rechargeable.

clart · 03-09-2015, 08:50 AM

New boots fitted. Currently having both thermostats done.

dy63 · 03-09-2015, 09:18 AM
