Seems like a good un. Just in case though ive taken out a warranty with warranty Direct(subject to inspection)

needs a few jobs doing. timing belt being the first priority. Want to get the body work back up to scratch as well. There's nothing wrong with it but its fairly gravel rashed around the front end and the rear arches so will look to get it painted. Other than that its very tidy. wheels have been refurbed, tyres are new as are the brakes

will sort some pics shortly.

Welcome to the roller coaster

Are you bowled over by everyone's enthusiastic welcome?

No excitement from me untill pic's arrive

How about a little more info/spec and i might get a semi on

Welcome Dipper.. you wont regret getting one, fantastic motor. Had mine 2 years now which has flown by almost as fast as the RS does to no major issues. Mines mechanically sound but increasingly in need of a respray as completely gravel rashed. Was looking into getting some protective film put on after the paint is sorted so this year it's mostly sorting the cosmetic bit out and getting it looking it's best.. Planning on getting it all done and sorted for Goodwood..

after reading about a hundred pages on here prior to buying the car i kind of knew what to expect! For an enthusiasts site there's a lot of doom and gloom! I'm probably still a bit niave, i'll no doubt join the doommongers shortly. in fact i think i felt some pulsing through the accelerator pedal last night! this might be the start of the slippery slope

That's just the car's intravenous money drain working it's way up through your leg to your wallet

More likely, probably the infamous pedalbox vibration. Nothing terribly serious. I think grizz has a fix for it.

+1 - but there's no need to 'fix' it.

Rule 1: Pictures or it doesn't exist / didn't happen.

happy?

got a clean bill of health from the warranty mannie:) 5 mins after he left the passenger door has started playing up. takes half a dozen attempts to get it to shut properly!

i thought pedal vibes was the first sign of the DRC playing up? It does seem a bit harsher than i would have expected. it fairly jiggles about through bumpy corners. heres me going down a bumpy road

Welcome Dipper - The car looks lovely.
I havn't had mine long either and am also looking into getting a warranty ; We'll see how it goes.
Enjoy the car

Heheheheheheheh ignore the boys moaning Welcome by the way and watch that slippery slope ........it's costly lovely car by the way

ive got the same colour, except my alloys are 18 inch...
enjoy the beast!

How's it look on 18's? Got any pics? I'd imagine they improve the ride quality quite a bit? Was thinking of getting another set for winter tyres. 18's would be an option

im looking for 19 inch alloys, i like the mtm bimotos grey...
i think 19 inch look much better and fill up the wheelarches more...
0-60 is a bit quicker with 18 inch.
