It was a daily driver so it happened every day. She soon learn't to leave her hair down. Plus it was getting expensive having my nose reset therefore her shopping allowance was reduced.

I second that: Do not sell it, this car is so fast in stock (560 hp) and kills a lot super cars in same range (plus it's very convenient for family and doing all weather journeys) in drag race, later if you going to add more hp for example 100 hp more or maybe even 100+ car converts to monster, not changing anything I mean engine internals, only if I were you I would change exhaust and get Miltek, as its best exhaust for that car on a market

Or just delete the front and centre resonators for a fraction of the cost of an aftermarket exhaust. Not as loud as the loudest ones but a good increase over standard sound.
