Smile New member introduction
Hi all,

bought my 2001 C4 a few weeks ago and have been lurking and learning from this forum ever since.

here are a few pics of the car just after I got it. The first day I got it I replaced the side markers for the clear.







since then I have had the wheels straightened and refinished and have done the following DIY:

replaced front rotors and pads
removed the front bumper and cleaned the rads
air filter
cabin air filter
cleaned the MAF sensor and throttle body
Spayed the rear rotors
replaced the cassette storage with a tray.

The car has been a joy to drive and work on. Thanks to everyone on the forum for all the useful information you provide.

Regards

Matt

Lots of Jersey boys here, we tolerate them.

Nice car, but agree with need for larger pics.
