Thanks Matt - he seemed like he was going to cherish old Chloe ;) Yea mate that's my old Vee indeed! He mentioned he was on Saxo Sports as well.

Aye, it left me on Thursday last week - to a guy called Ed from Somerset :)

Simply awesome pics - if someone had asked me if they were Pro I wouldn't have even hesitated to say yes TBH. Why are the tailpipes sticking so far out of the LY V6...?

Dude you so gotta bring this to the next Yorks meet!

Simon Norris school of motoring!

Meh, it's not that bad. I mean, it's not exactly awesome either heh.

I like it WAY more than Rage's car TBH :) Dan

Are you sure the Mrs wants the 182 first? I'd talk it over with her to be fair - make a big point of how she'll have to make up the grand in 'favours' as well ;) Dan

'Pat' - the salesmen at Honda in Scarborough - such a legend I thought he needed naming :D He told me recently when looking at the new Type R with a mate "It's a lot faster than the old one - a lot more bhp" and also it has "A lot more power than the Astra VXR - which isn't in the same league...

The exhausts aren;t that bad, better than a pic I saw somewhere of some that were apparently Janspeeds - they were awesomely 'Argos' IMHO. I agree they're not something i'd do though heh. As for the carbon diffuser, someone on Clio197.net has it done - standard diffuser with a real carbon...

Silver bulbs from ebay, 99p buy it now. Exactly the same as silvervisions. Dan

New pics are brilliant too! Some fancy camera and lens?

Handy little gadgetry that :)

On the upside, this should help my R27 hold value :)

And £20.3k for a 197 :O! I remember when my mates 'step dad' (they weren't actually married) bought a brand new MG ZR with flip paint - one of those factory special edition ones - five years at well over 20% apr (think it was 25% - he was a right pikey) and we had a goosey at his finance...

£8.5k is an amazing price :o! Surely it'll get snapped up straight away at that? Dan

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Done :)

If you're just gonna drive it like that all the time there is no point in getting a Sport. Save your money and get a fiesta diesel or something.

I has to be wide, Vee style, or the wheels would stick out miles. MASSIVE bravo for the engineering involved. Dan

^^^ What he said. Yea I bought the Vee privately, and I some ways I prefer it as you can get a look at the owner and decide if you think it's actually been cared for, or just serviced on time if you see what I mean. MOST people though, prefer the peace of mind you get buying from dealers -...

It's a shame really, because as we all know, and indeed as Evo reinforced this month, they are an epic car for the money. Or just epic anyway, regardless of the bargain.

I'm thinking of putting something over the right hand bolster to stop me knackering it - although it's done 10k and it looked ok to me :)

Oh yea no doubt - the '3 years and it's worn out' psychology will have just probably swiped a grand or so off them over night.

The Recaros in that Arctic were a factory option - and standard in the Trophy. Personally I'd have a Trophy - but for £7,450 that Arctic represents great value, and it is a very nice one.

I think he'd get more money if he threw the seats on ebay - a tidy pair will go for close on a grand all day long - but obviously yea it would be better to keep them in it. Just to clarify, I don't want them, I already have some in my R27 :) Or at least, I will when it's ready for me to get...

Didn't even have to advertise the Vee mate :) Just got a PM through the club on the off chance heh. Pays to keep a minter ;) The guy was made up when he came to view it, having seen some described as 'mint' - he reckoned it was better than I said. That made me happy and gave me pride :) Dan

I see Allvehicles have a 17k miler up for 8,995 - so a private sale for most people would have to be a good chunk lower than that I'd have thought, as most people prefer to buy from trade if they can... And IME Allvehicles don't sell any shite, I'd bet my nuts that that car is 100% mint - they...

Neither of those are cups. Cup has no climate/cruise/xenon lights/part leather. Basically pov spec with the engine. FF = full fat, the none cup model. Cup packs (spoiler and suspension) were options available for the FF - spoilers been a front splitter and small rear spoiler, suspension been...

To be honest I think some people are right - you'd be better selling the seats seperately, and the wheels seperately and flogging it as a standard 182. The general public won't care whether it has Recaros or not heh. Would be a shame though cos it does look bloody nice like that. Dan

I'm impressed you managed to have a Cup out there in the UAE! Or did it have the climate option?
