My "Black Pearl"


The way I bought it. It doesn't look too bad on the image, but I can guarantee that I had a lot too do with it to make it look like it does now!

welcome.

very nice looking 405.
cybernck
although i'm not a fan of bodykits on 405's (except maybe the most
aggresive Trackstar kit), i must say it looks great on your car as it's
a complete job (bodykit, wheels, full respray etc). i just think it needs
some nicer mirrors and a smooth boot panel.

black projector headlights are great, especially on your car (i don't like
the chrome ones though), especially as they're the nicer older type that
are not available any more (at least on ebay).

p.s. how did you find us? smile.gif i hope you'll enjoy and stay around smile.gif.

Welcome Kenny, as Cybernck said I'm no fan of 405 bodykits, usually very gratuitous, but yours aint bad at all. I think it's helped no end by being a black car.
kenny
Thanks biggrin.gif

My dream for the car is the Ecosse Trackstar, but I mailed them some weeks ago, and they told me that it's out of production and didn't now if it was going to get produced again unsure.gif

How I found you? Well.. that was easy, I just tried to wright www.405mi16.com to see if it could be a page, and guess what.. it was biggrin.gif

If anyone got a tip about where I can find the ecosse trackstar kit I would be extremely happy! I just need the frontbumper, grill and light for the bumper! wink.gif

Hi Kenny!

Has your car's paint got a purple tint to it? Looks like it in some of the pics.

Nice car collection! 405's and Sierras, 2 of my favouite cars! biggrin.gif

We spotted a Sierra iS in Magaluf on holiday this year, Looked in excellent condition, if it lived over here it would be rusted to bits by now sad.gif

My favourite is of course 405 (Mi16), I had the oppertunity to by a T16 with 300hp 4 months ago, but I desided to use my money on "Black Pearl". And I don't regret at all wink.gif

My job is painting bumpers for Volvo, but in my spare time I buy 405 that's in too bad shape to ever get used again and sell the parts. So now I've got a 1995 405GTX and a 1988 405Mi16 under the knife rolleyes.gif But since the snow came they will probably just stand there until spring..

I've actually used only 6 hours to strip a 405 completly! But damn.. never again! I was a wreck for days laugh.gif

I got an offer on my car a few days ago.. about £6000 or 70000 NOK.. Not bad offer when it's not for sale cool.gif
KRISKARRERA

Ahhh doh! Hey that's one hell of alot isn't it?? Mind you I've noticed this in other places, like in Australia Mi16s go for alot more than in the UK.
kenny
Here in Norway they usually go for about £1000-1500.. so £6000 is quite alot wink.gif
