When i brought my car the first thing I noticed were how faded the plastic piller trims were and the 2 trims that run down the sides of the front windscreen were just as bad, you can buy the trim cover replacements for the doors that also supply the triangle sections on the back doors mainly in chrome and black if you can find them, I wanted black as my car is silver but none available at the time. So brought some black vinyl and started with the pillers, I removed the trim from the car so I could lose the vinyl wrap around the back of the trim. Then I did the two triangle bits on the back doors again removing from the doors, I was very pleased with the result that I did the door mirror sections and finally removed the front windscreen trims and vinyl wrapped them, with time and patience I was very happy with the result..they have been on the car for over a year now and still look brand new, all for the cost of £20. Makes a big difference to the car and well worth the effort.

If you go on ebay and put in 300c rear abs ring in vehicle/parts catagory it comes up with 27 items, please note they are not handed for the rear on this car.

Hi briscoe, Mine is a 2006 saloon which I love the look of and road presence it has, but am finding electrical gremlins with this car. Yes when I had the abs lights on the dash the car wouldn't come out of first, I had to pull over and wait, then it was ok, I heard somewhere it's a safety device on the gearbox, (hence when I heard the bang I was doing approx 60mph at the time and I couldn't get drive untill i dropped below 30mph) but changed the ring and the problem has gone away.

Hi, did you get this problem sorted at all? If you didnt, then its an easy fix. Open the bonnet and, and find the washer bottle. Next to that, bolted to the drivers side wing, you will find a black box. Unplug the box, and hey presto, the fault will vanish. It will also cure a few other faults, such as indicators that miss a click, rear wipers wiping on their own, reversing sensors firing up when your driving forward. The box is the HID translator module. All it does is let the ECU know when a headlight bulbs blows. If you can live without that function then you can cure all the rest!! The HID module develops a fault, and effects lots of other things down the line.
