The Big Bird has landed....pics inside!!

do you have more pics of interrior? i think it's very cool how center console is piano black and the rest is this carbon leather with some yellow striping.

BTW, the black grilles really work with this one.

The dash is leather, but not carbon leather I think you will find.
 
jamiez, notice on your now upadated signature... "Lowered 30mm all round" - how are you finding the clearance on that, have had a good run at any speed bumps yet?

It transforms the car - IMHO.

My old car was a 2.5si sport - so essentially the same in terms of body/suspension setup etc
My old car still had the runflats on and was on std suspension

This car is on falkens all round and is, as you noticed, lowered 30mm (springs i dont know)

So either its just the tires or a combo of that and th springs - but the ride is how i only can described "planted" and "solid" yet not rock hard.
If DEFO better than my old car - so thats the runflats for ya!

Ive given it a good run now and had zero issues going over speed humps or parking i.e. catching the front bumper (but im always cautions about that!)

Hope that helps

Brilliant thanks... I've just put mine on PH and if it doesn't go (which it probably won't - too expensive) then I'll kit it out with some Eibachs... otherwise the next one will get the treatment. Looks great too!

How do you find the difference between the 2.5 and 3.0?

Well its not that straight forward for me as there are 2 main variables when i moved up.
My old car was an auto and this one is manual - so ive got the difference in transmission and then the additional 50 odd bhp.

Difference is most definitly noticable - 5th gear as SO much pull

On the other hand, its as much difference as I was expecting to say the huge increase in horses!

Its ALRIGHT ! Phoenix. As someone once said on here "Long live the extroverts" :thumbsup:
 
Tom lives quite near to me so i saw this car quite a few times. It's very nice and well looked after.
The individual bi colour leather is awesome, especially with matching dash, i have it too. Looks great :thumbsup:
