So, following the, er, demise of the black DE, I went out and got this:
Overall in good condition - a few minor dings and scratches, but nothing out of the ordinary. Roof could do with a respray in the not too distant future as it as the signs of rust just starting, but nothing urgent.
PO had put an Invidia Gemini trual dual exhaust, which sounds good and is a lot more restrained than my previous set up - makes for a nicer motorway drive, but tunnels just aren't the same!
A couple of weekends ago I swapped over my brakes (got rid of the crappy OEM stuff, back to DBA and Hawk) and also swapped the OEM springs out for Tein S Tech - a great improvement, and hardly scrapes at all.
Currently part way through installing my old headunit, can't believe how people can live with the OEM unit.
I've also just had 4 MPSS fitted - the fronts were near enough shot and 370Ad pointed out that the last owner had fitted 245/40/R18 MPSS on the rear (only fitted a few months ago). So despite being pretty much brand new, they got replaced.
Not going to go ultra mad on this one, I'll see how the exhaust goes, might fit decats, sort out the rest of the ICE (reverse camera to add too) and fix the busted side skirt (bodged on by someone previously as they broke some of the clip housings). Bumper reflectors need tinting too.
I may also rip out the now redundant OEM sat-nav, but not sure whether to replace it with a cubby hole, or do a tablet install. Would have to do something with the buttons if I went down the tablet route though.
Next stop, Le Mans!
