New guy from Essex

[Smartbear]

Thanks everyone for your good advice.

So, after loads of searching, I finally found one . It's exactly what I was looking for - a coupe 3.0Si with PDC, Xenons, FBMWSH, grey with black leather, piano black dash and no sat nav. Its completely standard.... for now! I got it from another user on here, and I would never have figured out the exact spec I needed without this forum. Thanks again to all.

I'll try and post some pics here. Where does everyone get their pictures hosted?

Welcome and good luck with the search
Another Essex here ( Wickford) we should sort out an Essex meet for the spring

I'm in Chatham Green - just outside Chelmsford. Where did you move to Rob?

It's a 3.0Si (2008 MY). I don't know what the colour is called, but I'm sure someone on here could tell me. She's completely standard. Still has the original first aid kit under the passenger's seat, original rear springs and tool kit.

Thankfully the weather was dry, allowing me to put nearly 200 miles on her already. Not bad for what's supposed to be my 'summer' car. Oh well, I guess the weather won't last long, and I've got to get used to my new toy. Its been a long time since I've owned a proper drivers car, and I absolutely love it .

In the first few days of ownership, I've already started a To Do list...

1) MV2 wheels...??? I'm not convinced I like them. Already got my eye on some Style 32s
2) Perhaps a set of Michelins all round with higher profile tyres (I know - controversial)
3) Spacers if required for a slightly flusher look.
4) Rear discs and pads need replacing
5) Sort steamy fog lamps
6) Perhaps de-badge for a cleaner look
7) Full detail and maybe ceramc coating (if I can do it DIY)

Nice. I’m in Essex and over in Chelmsford a fair bit. I’d look at 224s with Michelin’s PS4 in M tyre sizes, a nice blend of OEM look and increase or wall height.
