I reckon those seats will be really uncomfy, youd be better with a pair of blobeye seats, cause its christmas en all, ill do you a straight swap and you wont need to give me any cash on the side.

Thanks all for the positive feedback,

Trinity, I will stick with the uncomfortable ones thanks for the offer though

Definitely looking for a spoiler, only want to get the small boot lip one, anyone got any ideas where I can pick one up? also an upgraded quad exhaust? The car its self is an ex demonstrator so I presume the dealer plonked the PRO-R sticker on the back end, its a standard 296 BHP. Buying experience, all done over the phone chap called Jonathan at parkway dealt with it all, very efficient.

I am like a cat on a hot tin roof, cant wait too pick it up Friday

Very nice, the grown up version of the old hooligan although I prefer the hatch from that era - it just seems to retain some hooliganism about it

Love the interior and front end, never got my head around the rear though, maybe with a new exhaust and spoiler it will change that!

Still a great purchase mate!

Everyone will tell you this but if you ever sell those seats, please research their values. I saw a set sell for over £2500 and went straight to the US!

Cheers gear head, first stop HT autos for the subtle boot lip spoiler, then for the expensive exhaust :-)

Lovely car,

Do these 2.5 engines suffer the same issues as the others?

Nice car though, colour looks good!!!
