only problem is clear headlights cost an absolute fortune 
the rear end conversion makes it look alot better so i'll be keeping an eye on any being broken.
that Z4MC on csl's is absolutely stunning

The black plastics on the interior look quite cheap, stuff that's in the center of the steering wheel 
Looks really good apart from the plastics, them wheels work nicely I think.

fad said the same about the interior plastics, but it's soft touch stuff (dashboard).
bare in mind i've had ford's before, which have only just started putting decent plastics in their cars, so this is a step up in class compared to them

I would also keep the orange lenses. Suits the body colour pretty good. Breaks it up.

Love this. Only thing I'm not keen on are the side repeaters. They are making my decision on my next car harder

i don't mind a bit of orange in lights, think it helps break up a car a bit.
sometimes all clear lights looks a bit cheap/naff, like that evo in projects and builds, but no one will agree with me until they are old/wise enough to know better

After seeing it now, I have to agree, how ever gorgeous the car is, it still needs something to break it up.

best wheels i recon but they need to be silver or atleast anthracite.
i want one soooo much
get one they are fantastic cars, and i've been getting 28mpg on the work commute (mixture of sitting at 70-80 and a quick overtake here and there). my focus used to struggle to get in the low 20's.
it sounds fantastic inside too, as the previous owner removed some foam which stopped the exhaust sound into the interior.
easy to drive so can cruise around or drive like a lunatic, only thing is the suspension is very firm so you do feel the bumps but you expect that.
I cant insure one for less than about 6k! can insure a tt for about 1.3k and im 21 though.....
Ive just had a quote on one at 21 for Ł930 fully comp
