Absolutely stunning mate, been considering one of these after the ep3 but can't help and think in standard form they are a bit bland to look at?
Aside from the tax these are also about the same to run as the ep3 as well (according to a number of chaps from CTRO & TRO)!?
Yours does look pretty epic though, toys, refinement and booooooooooost!

Yeah in standard form as mine is at the moment, I think it looks pretty wank and I can't see what I saw in it when I first bought it! But they are awesome fun.
They're not that bad, just parts prices that are expensive, CV joints are part of the drivershaft, so if you need a CV joint you need to buy a whole driveshaft, which you can only get from Mazda's, which with a staff discount cost me £345 :-/ Just a few things like that which get silly. Wheel bearing - £66.
But as a car it's epic. I'd have one again if I just wanted a car to drive around in, but I need something that is more suited to my trackdays needs. The boost is awesome for daily driving and overtaking.

I've got friends with VXR's/Cupra R's/K1's even an Evo 6 that parts don't cost as much on, difference is everything is main dealer only, brake pads are about the only bit you can get from a motorfactors. It's not the reason for selling anyway but it's just an annoying factor
