I am not sure if I am a fan or not. I saw a picture of an American one with the industry standard CSL's on. It looks pretty good. The car may be better as original spec. Plenty of time to decide though. From what I have read on here over the last couple of weeks there is certainly plenty of different opinions. In reality though in most pictures I have seen, the cars look great regardless.

I have to admit, they interiour should have been left alone. Expensive to correct. :cry:

Strangely my wife likes the red. We had a red 135 convertible with red leather, which she didn't like. I would like it more if it was full red and without those stitched badges. I have it home now (just). Plenty of time to think about it. The car is great though, enjoyed the drive home. I have ordered a new washer jet cover for the one we lost on the A1m. We even had the roof off for a quick blast just past Morpeth. Probably looked like a right pair of wallopers. :lol:

Im annoyed nobody decided to point me in the direction of this car as it’s a well known fact I’ve been fantasising over this car for years :rofl:

Glad I stumbled across this in the “M” section and look forward to the spring when you get it out properly and start to think about what mods (if any) you’re going to do to it :evil:

Welcome- lovely, I saw this car about 8-9 years ago, it was lovely. I’d agree, going back to standard on such a classic.

Wow, an 09 plate...must be the last registered car in the UK. Keep hold of that one, it’ll be worth a few quid in years to come.
