Hi i'm Gary over in the southeast of the UK. As there is a serious lack of forums for the Pinin over here and getting parts and mods is like trying to find Hens' teeth I thought I would sign up here and hopefully use the knowledge you guys have to get my little Pinin where I want it. Hopefully someone will ship to the UK! :D

The Pinin is a 2005 3dr 1.8L, I bought it as a winter car so I have something to use and abuse over the cold and wet months. My summer car is a Subaru Impreza P1 currently tucked up in bed! And the Mrs drives a 2012 Mercedes SLK250.

Now to get reading the mass of information on here..........

Welcome Gary,I'm from the UK

Welcome Gary,

I'm from the UK too and in London. I have a 5dr iO that is standard but I plan to export to Mallorca later this year.

I own a Subaru as well......a BG5 Legacy GTB in fact (not remotely standard!!) and my daily smoker is a '99 328i SE auto.

Post us a pic of your car

Its not that easy sadly.

Click on the link next to 123, browse server, click upload, choose file, find your pic, click on it, click open, click upload, once it has uploaded to the forum server click on the image, click ok and you are done! ...........or at least that is how I worked it out!

Hi Gary and welcome! I have a '04 Pinin 5dr, 2.0GDI. I hope we'll meet sometime with GuyG and discuss about our "squirrels"
