looking forward to seeing it

+1 Agree with S3LDM Evo VI best shape in the Model range...

Great pic Merv, I really like the contrast between the white bodywork and the black roof.

A wee update... had it mapped by Antony @ Indigo GT and from standard 280bhp is now running 354bhp with 378lb ft of torque and it absolutely flies the turbo spools like a b@stard!!

Also had the OEM Tommi Makinen graphics refitted today by Lee at FCM in Bristol...

Thanks kids

I want to get the brake calipers refurbed in bright red to match the red stripe and hopefully find a set of OEM alloys in white for the summer months

Looks better with the graphics on. Personally I'd lose the black roof, and get the original enkei rims, but still looks good. Awesome car. A red tommi with the graphics is my mid-life crisis car. I'll still keep the one as my daily though.
