You've got leathers, heated seats, climate control, headlight washers, probably auto wipers too lol

Thats probably knocking on for £1.5k in optional extras.

The only option my sport has is colour coded trim :lol:

You should be well happy with all the extras... especially the heated leathers as they are rare as rocking horse poo!

I love my heated seats!

Good choice in colour too :wink:

Will be interested to see how you get on with the headlights....

I didnt realise heated leathers were that rare.

Got a pair of genuine headlights off ebay for £10 last night. Dozy b***h put them up as mk5 headlights :lol: and they still ahve all the bulbs in them :lol:

Gunna stick them in the oven 2morrow and see if i can split them and then spray the innerds black.

mind me asking how much you paid for it mate?

Loving the leather *drools* really rare, first set of orginal leather in a 9n mk6

Also the car is very nice too.

How come they never colour coded the paint work? Surely somethign that high spec would be colour coded? My 9n has colour coded black bumper as standatd (as in properly painted ones)
