Oh Bugger,

Tuesday - Called in dealer near work to buy single DIN shelf thingy to fit under my new stereo for about £15. Whilst waiting saw a nice Blue/Black STi Prodrive outside. Casually asked for a part/ex figure. Offer seemed very good.

Wednesday - Came back for a test drive. Unfortunately for my wallet I was well impressed compared to my UK300 PPP.

Thursday - (Today) Went back and did the deal.

Friday - (Tomorrow) Picking it up for the weekend!! (Subject to cover note arriving)

I had such a poor offer from my local dealer last month I thought I was stuck with the UK300 for at least another 12 months but not now!!

Im going to keep away from dealers from now on and after all the money Ive spent (wasted!) on the UK300 im going to leave his one well alone (apart from indicators, reflectors, pimp tints, PPP etc....lol)

Looking forward to joining the STi club

Thanks guys.

Due to an insurance **** up had to wait until today to pick it up. Just got home with it and think I will spend the rest of the afternoon getting to know it better!

I just need to work out how to change my front reflector thingys now! (see other thread)

If you grip at the bottom of the reflector and the lift up and out they should pop out... I think!
