I may have mis- understood, I thought that the new owner had bought it brand new, and i thought the new shape had been out fo about 10 months or more?

That is a real nice hawkeye.
Not much to do to it as it's stunning already, but I would defo get some springs on there though as it does look a tad high.
Otherwise, enjoy your new ride

Thanks guys for all your comments!
I am the second owner and the cars done just under 4,000 miles, but I believe it has been sitting in a garage a fair while.
I'm not sure when the car was manufactured but I know it was registered march 08, I was told that there was only this one and a spec d that were on an 08 plate (I’m pretty sure that it was just a selling tactic, which I’m quite happy to believe) but yea it must be one of the last of the hawkeyes about.
The first owner put the exhaust on and unfortunately I don’t know what make it is, it is a jap style angled one though.
The black wheels looked really attractive to me, but had not thought about black wheel nuts though (good call).
I know it does sit well high! It didn’t look that bad in person but just looks silly in the pic’s.
I was originally thinking of getting 18’s (black) and then lowering it, but I may stick with the ones already on the car and get it lowered.
And on that note what is best to do? Coilovers? Lowering kits? And what makes should I look out for? Also where do you guys go for parts and mods?
Also if any one can work out what this exhaust is I would be grateful!
Thanks guys!
