I'll get pics up when I get it. Friday I'll be giving it a good wash and fitting my new plates. A guy up the road fixes chips/dents/rust for cheap so I ain't fussed if I get things sorted (it was dodgy under the bumpers). I feel like a little kid at xmas!

I am contemplating buying the OMP lower one, I will be interested to hear if there are fitting instructions and what it is fixed to. And if you DIY fit, how you get on !

It arrived last night. Got in it and took my parents for a drive. Couldn't stop smiling. Was out in it for over 4 hours last night. I'll get proper pictures when it is washed. Only thing that annoys me a little is the climate control is a little too low down. Car is great though. I'm not sure if the pedal box recall has been done as there is no stamp in the book. The clutch is quite stiff and the gearbox is a little notchy. These tell tale signs?

Wouldn't worry about the notchy gear change - mine was the same - you just get used to it. Congrats on your new car. I've seen some of your posts and it seems like you patience has paid off. I sold mine a couple of months ago but it's still my sceensaver.
