Good to see a dealer listening to its customers
Wish my local dealer(wolverhampton) was more like yourselves, I went into my dealers 18 months ago to test a hatch STi out, and discussed finance options etc, told him I had a £10k deposit and the rest would have to be on finance, had a look around the car etc and gave him my details(number, e-mail) as it was getting late(sat afternoon) and he told me that he would give me a ring and i'll pop in again and discuss all the details and finance etc, guess what I never got a phone call or a e-mail so I didnt bother and bought a used hawk sti instead!!

I have done this before, I was one of the first tuners of Volkswagen group cars many years ago that offered a warranty on modified cars that matched the remaining manufacturers warranty on a car, so I know this can be done, I just need costings to put a package together.
That said though, I would guess about 2 weeks before I can have it in place, it is just a lot of time and effort and money to invest, but if it is something people would buy, then I will gladly do the work on it.

Thanks scoobyboy1. Not something I can comment on though really, another dealer, especially as I know one of the senior guys at Wolverhampton really well, and have done for many years. I am sure if he knew that someone had not been called back when they were told they would be he would be talking to that staff member about it. I can only say what/how I feel, and my motto has always been to treat people how I would like to be treated as a customer.

Think the Wolverhampton dealer is a Mazda and Ssangyong dealer too, maybe he just forgot as it was Sat afternoon, but i was at home looking on the net a week later and come across the car I got now, so I guess it wasnt to bad, saved me some money, and made the missus happy!!

Hold on. For some of the figure being quoted I can buy be and get it forged. I think SS zaust, center decat and remap for £1750 with 350bhp remap is competitive.
Not happy with those Dunlops though. Definitely want some mats thrown in.

Not done enough hard-driven miles to comment on tyres, but mats in the grand scheme of what I am looking at aren't something I am going to cry over
