Lovely looking motor :thumb:
 
Perfect for a day like today 8) 8) 8)

Welcome to the forums :bye:
 
Really classy I like the targas one of my favorites, will buy one form one day, is it midnight blue or metalic black. :thumbs:
Like both but prefere the blue me self
 
It's been awesome these bright sunny spring days.
Roof back windows down along country lanes, the kids love it.

Basalt black with sand beige interior, which even with the roof up it's so light across the cabin.

:thumb: Interior really suits the car :thumb:
 
Well done and that is a lovely car

As you say awesome in this weather

There is sth classy and unique about the targa. A real joy to look at and unique driving experience I bet. Enjoy sir
 
+1 for the admiration. Targa are super rare around these parts (unless they're all hidden away) :thumbs:
 
Thanks great comments and already had some great PMs from other posts with advice and guidance. Great forum.

For me it's my long term daily and have a few plans on where I wanna take it.

Might keep updating this thread as other have with there's.
 
Last night gave the car some love and attention. With full snow foaming, polish, rainX and leather clean.

Amazing what you discover when you get really up close and personal with the body work.

Tidied a few bits, took care of some stone chips, cared for all the rubber seals, plastic trims and cleared all the drains which means the Hatch back working much smoother now.

Things it did highlight I need to move up my list are:

New wheels - thinking will get at least £800 for the Carrera 5 spokes though don't t see many wide body fitments come up for sale. After sport classic or sport design.

Respray - or dare I say it a Wrap? I know the colour I'm looking for but noticed some aging lacquer so think wrap would leave damage if it needed to come off.

New stereo - the PCM even with BT add on and DAB is getting me by but miss the creature comforts of a newer head unit.

Hartech 3.9 - PPI and scoping cake out fine but thinking long term should consider this above anything else
 
Hovis,
Glad you are enjoying your Targa. I bought one in 2017, there are defo some noises around the roof area, even the sun visors make a noise (probably std Carrera's do that?). Also the position of the sunroof screen makes a difference. I almost feel that that the roof needs to be used, the longer it stays closed the more noises it makes. But TBH this is only on super bumpy roads, normally fine. You mentioned wheels, I bought some Sports while the Classics went to Chris as Exel Wheels (much recommended), very easy to use even far away in Aberdeen.

Like the interior and photos. Enjoy the Targa and the w/e weather look good.

JB
