Still not sure about the looks in standard form.

Mark, you'll have to pop round and take me for a spin, I might be converted.

comfort wise it easily tops the others

adjusting the SI drive makes huge differences to the driving and steering feel so you get to have sunday driver mode or nutter mode what ever mood you are in and really suits the commuting journey day in day out.

the prodrive springs and PPP complete the car to how it should feel and how my others have been.

got some ideas for subtle stickers too just to personalise it that bit more

Looks ok as it's white,

Should be a lot better once you personalise it a bit, must admit they are growing on me as well.

Main thing is that you enjoy it though Mark nice one

Stunning car in white. Good choice Mark & as you say subtle mods will make it even better. What are the red overlays like on the rear lights I have only seen the smoked ones that tone down the "Lexus" look?

defi's have been sold as there is no where to fit them properly

the a pillars have airbags in them and the centre dash is one piece.
