Hi,
I've been lurking here for a couple of months so thought it was about time I said Hello and a big thank you for all the really useful info that I've picked up so far.
I bought a 2007 Coupe from a local dealer in April and have been loving it ever since. There were a couple of niggles initially but the dealer was quick to sort them without question. So far I've debadged it, colour coded the front grills, done the sound generator mod, painted the front calipers and fitted new Brembo discs and pads (rears waiting on time and weather). I've also fitted a pair of non-RF Avon ZZ5's on the rear. The front Bridgstones were nearly new so I've left them for the time being.
It had an annoying random knocking noise that the dealer couldn't trace despite fitting new bushes on the front wishbones. I managed to sort this myself, after research on here and other forums, by re-torquing the nuts on the OEM brace and suspension turrets. The ones on the brace offered little resistance when I undid them so they were clearly in need of attention. Since doing this there hasn't been a murmer
The photo isn't great as it was taken on my phone but better ones will follow.
