Well Les, I BADLY need an Estate car of some sorts, and tbh what could be better than a red ZT-T to compliment a red saloon? Its a tough one, as Ive been looking at old Diesel Passats, ZT-T diesels, Insigia VXRs.... really a lack of estates that can do something to the pulse when required.

I guess with a full spray up matching the colour wasnt a big problem then? What about all the trim, most of it is held with more than brittle clips that shatter, assume you replaced them all?

I've had no end of problems with spray shops, thought I had found a really good one a while back, but even they managed to ruin my petrol flap hinge by bending it to get the flap off (for a paint match).

Also some goons decided to spray just the area around my boot numberplate.. so I am on the hunt for a Mk1 solar red boot with the lip spoiler... seen a few, might even buy a £250 ZT just for the panels then scrap it
