Hi Team,
My TT getting a full service tomorrow and thinking about seeling shortly after. Really liking these viewing it as an upgrade to my TT (225) Anyone have any experience with them? Any notable difference between this and the 225 perfomance wise? Sport is only 15bhp more and a bit lighter
I think it's ace

There is one of these at the local used car place. I thought it was just a modded car not a special ed.
Drives supercharged Tec with torque

Is that a manufactuer paint scheme thing? I saw one exactly like that down Southend on saturday night. Thought it was hideous and looked chavy tbh though.

The aston Martin looks ace
P1CK4D - If I were to go down the modding route I would just do that to my own 225. I like the Sport as it's a bit different with lots of toys already on there.

Very nice, I was tempted to upgrade mine for a QS but were fetching silly money.
Do it, can always modify a QS, same kit as the V6 with better wheels and interior.
Sure QS uses the V6 floor pan also, making aftermarket exhausts more expensive.

I see one of these mincing it past me quite reguarly on the way to work. Always just thought it was a moddded TT.
Looks like it goes well anyway. I'd prefer the silver I think.

I like them. Had a sit in one when they were new but not driven one. Feels like a nice place to be with those bucket seats.

i like them but over all not much difference ot the standard
Seats are very good and handling is slightly better
Most of it is wheels, ARB's new map and black exhaust
they look best in red or avus silver
i would not pay that money for a mk1 though

Thanks for the input lads, I agree they are very pricey but I think it's still a lot of car for the money and unique. Totally hooked my the interior if I'm honest too!
Shall give the garage a call and hope the trade in on mine isnt shit

Im sure if you hand it to a tuning company they will make you a nice upgraded car
i have to say i just dont like the two tone roof. I think the standard 225 looks better

If he spent the difference modifying his he would be out of pocket when he comes to sell it. Unless he takes everything back off and sells seperately which is a ball ache and will still end up with less money.
