  • I'm back after 2 years lol.

    It's been two years since we had the Bi-turbo Country Tourer and have been driving a SsangYong Rexton W ever since. The Rexton will be going in a few days to be replaced by a 67 plate 170 diesel Insignia ST Elite Nav, 10k miles. manual,20" rims and in Flip Chip. Very good deal IMO from CMS Kidderminster - £10k less than when it was new in September 2017 with lots of toys/gizmos/gadgets.

    Felt sooo nice getting back into a car that felt like a proper car rather than driving a tractor . Having said that, the Rexton did everything we asked of it apart from extortionate insurance (the Insignia is £350 cheaper!), high road tax and mid 30's mpg. It also towed everything we threw at it but now we don't need that capability.

    Pics to follow in about a week hopefully.

    Yes, it's good to be back but still missing IE Enthusiast where all my threads and posts didn't get over to this forum.

                    Oooh er, it's here and it's dark. Need to learn the ins and outs of the Navi 900 again, still seems to be just as lacking in some areas as it was when we had the County Tourer.

                    Yes, pics to follow at the weekend with or without a wash

                        Haven't forgotten about some pics, sorry.

                        First mod is booked for next Thursday - tinted rear door windows and rear load area. Yes, the Elite does have privacy glass but IMO it's not that different from the front windows. Main reason for going this route is that we have a large greyhound and simply don't want anyone to know he's in the car. Tint will also give more security/privacy to the load area as we never use the roller cover because of the dog and things can be kept out of view. FWIW, this is the guy I'm using and £140 all in, 4-6 hours work. http://www.tintanaudio.com/ Going for 20% tint on top of OEM tint which should give semi Limo from the outside but still let the dog see out.

                        Spoke to Direct Line and they don't increase the premium for rear tints but has to be noted on the policy. If any of the tinted windows need replacing, they'll only cover the cost of a "standard" OEM window. Fair enough I guess.

                          on my old insignia I had rear doors done 20% and rear hatch done in 5% (limo),from the out side it was quite noticeable,the difference in tint,but from the inside they both looked the same,,ive factory tints on the rear of mine atm ,but if I was to get them tinted again id go for 5% as I was quite shocked how easy it was to see out,from the inside,,if that makes sense

                            Finally a break in the weather, so a good wash, clayed roof and bonnet, polished and waxed all over. Then it rained but only just after taking the pics. Oh, pics are with the OEM privacy glass. Will post more pics when the tints are done next week.

                            Edit - bollox, will have to use PB to upload due to file size.

                            Edit edit - or maybe not as PB seem to be charging to get access. Been a long time since I used PB and looks like I may have lost 300+ photos.
