Haven't posted anything about this since shortly after I bought it. Took a few poor photos on my phone this morning whilst waiting for clients to arrive and drop their cars off seeing as this is about as clean as my car has been since I bought it (too busy!)
Since owning it it's had a full inspection 2 service, control arm bushes, new rear discs & pads, AP 6 pots on the front, Eibach Pro springs, new side repeaters (old ones had broken clips) and new exhaust clamps. Inside all I've done so far is fit an intravee to unlock a few features on the car and of course gain iPod connectivity.
Few little bits & pieces I want to still do in the future, but generally just aiming to keep it clean. Still isn't anywhere near my standards yet, but I just haven't had the time to even drive it let alone detail it!

Colour still very much divides people and is definitely a 'marmite' colour I love it - especially when the sun hits it. I also find it never photographs particularly well. Same for the wheel colour - have never managed to get a photo that shows their true colour! Doesn't matter too much though as they came with the car and will be replaced at some point.
Yup as Ben said stickers are a PH & Le Mans sticker. Have got smaller versions of both which will be fitted when I finally get round to detailing the car properly!

Very nice. Much for the brakes? Big improvement?

Big improvement although they're not so effective that as soon as you touch the brake pedal you headbutt the windscreen as the internet would have you believe!
I hope to take it out on a couple of track outings at some point with clients who rent a track out so kind of had that in mind when I bought them. That and the fact my standard calipers seized so figured I'd upgrade rather than just replace
Price wise, just under £2.5k

Love it i'd like a coupe in this very colour, I think it's a lovely colour, but I can see why some don't.

Looks nice.
Only thing that looks horrific is those ugly stickers.
I don't get why grown men in decent cars ruin it with cheap looking tacky stickers.
Ruins the rear end for me
