haha cheers Cookeh. My WRX had plain black mudflaps, I don't mind them personally even if the STi logos are a bit garish... but then so is the rest of the car

I paid just over £8k for this one, 70,000 miles, low owner, lots of history, Eagle F1s all round. It has the PPP and then had a further tune by a well reknowned member of Scoobynet but apart from that, it's standard. Prices don't seem to have moved much from when I initially looked in Feb/March last year. You will see earlier cars with the earlier interior and no DCCD for similar money. Personally, I'd rather have the DCCD box and other bits on this model.

Only issues with it are knocking rear struts but this is very common so I wasn't put off by it at all. It's absolutely awesome to drive!

Nice car fella!

Actually from what I gather, Volvo are conservative in their official numbers. People have dyno higher figures at stock.

The Polestar map takes it up to 250bhp and again, on a dyno it is just north of 260bhp. There are other ECU map from Shark that can take it to 265 stage one and take 2 takes it further with other mods.

I'll probably do Polestar at some point.

I highly recommend you look into Collins for remaps. Mountune are effectively the Polestar for Ford, and everyone rates Collins over Mountune.

Dad asked for a pic...I sent him that...he said of the car

If people say your 'red' car is pink.. it's time to buy another car

DiCe! · 25 May 2016 at 20:38

Its definitely red. Doesnt look great in pictures but definitely red even with my biased eyes.

Here's my daily driver:

and here's the weekend/track car

Cleisthenes · 26 May 2016 at 14:23

, but you need a colour on that Merc

Akagi · 26 May 2016 at 14:24

I am insanely jealous of that Exige. :cool:

Not so much of the Merc, I despise white Merc's with a vengeance...

Janesy B · 26 May 2016 at 14:25

Put 'l' before .jpg on the last image otherwise you'll have some pleb with a 800x600 screen moaning the picture is too big.

Akagi · 26 May 2016 at 14:30

Its too big for my 1080P screen at work so....

I look forward to being able to look at all of the picture at the same time when I get home.

Ryan-3 · 26 May 2016 at 14:32

Exige.

Agreed, primed Merc still needs it final silver paint!

Even one's with V8's in?

Yes. Merc's look awful in white, they need a nice colour on them to show off the curves, like a wine red metallic, or a nice blue. White ones look classless. I saw an E63 AMG in a deep red metallic the other day, it was stunning, and made me look several times, unlike a black/silver/grey/white one would.

Jumper118 · 26 May 2016 at 17:12

Exige s is a great car. they make a cosworth brz feel boring and slow

ViperZS · 26 May 2016 at 18:42

The only thing with the Merc is that you won't get to see it long enough for the lack of colour to bother you

I do sort of see your point though. A friend has a C63 in red and it looks amazing. I don't think it would work on the bigger CLS though...

Also sorry about the Exige photo, just fixed it with Janesy's advice.
