Nice!
Still not taken on Arden Blue myself, but it does give these a bit more presence!
I would ask how it goes with the Map, but if you haven't driven it standard, might not be worth it...
I see you have already noticed the drink problem with them too
If you don't mind, how much did you manage to pick that one up for?

yeah ive not driven a standard one so cant say, this was the first i went to look at and was right at the top of my budget , i payed 8k for it with 41k on the clock.
i wanted a blackone tbh but the blue was growing on me more and more. and then this popped up

Ooooft - good price that for the Spec & Mileage
Mine was £6.5k, but a completely standard 280PS Model and with 87k
I only viewed 2 - both Silver, and drove the second one home - the first was a 255PS model, a bit older, bit less mileage, some scrapes/kerbing etc, and up for £8.5k...
Prices do seem a bit hit and miss at times I found - there always seemed to be 2 or 3 cars of the same/similar spec advertised - one would seem a bit too cheap, or would be a bit pricey, and one just right

yeah i noticed that too , the one i have bought had just been reduced. i would imagine that it being modified putting a few ppl off , i didnt really want to buy a modified one but did plan on getting a map, springs etc its well serviced and this seemed the right choice and its clean .. only imperfections really are a scuff the the lower/underside of the front splitter which you cant really see unless you crouch down and there is abit of wheelworm/lacquer starting to letgo on one of the wheels as its got the polished face and anthra type wheels.

Mine is doing around 22 MPG to a tank (200-250 miles)
I've done around 1300 miles since I picked it up, and the computer for all of that is showing an average of 20.something MPG
A full tank is costing me between £65-75 depending on where I buy it
