Cool

Nothing too out of the ordinary but I am so excited I just have to share!

Went by the dealer to drop of some paperwork, ready to collect my beastie on Monday.

All the bits I have orders are on, bar the sills which are being colour coded and should be back tomorrow.

It was agony waiting beforehand (even though its been under 2 weeks ) but now that Ive seen it....!

I will do some proper pics nect week but for now these are what I had a chance to grab - enjoy!

Thank you

I had wanted to get some springs so the wheels fill out the arches, but they arent out yet.

One of the many, many things on my shopping list

Cheeseboy - certainly are

Paul - will do

ScoobySnacks - I guess there are both good and bad examples from every dealership.

The fact is that I have received absolutely brilliant service so far. I have actually been called back when expected for a start, and they have done everything one would expect. Far better than when Ive bought cars from VW, and Porsche and Mercedes for my old man!!

They are even taking my car for p-x without the V5 (it is on its way any day though - cherished plate transfer).

Of course, selling a car is one thing - it will be interesting to see the aftersales service, which VW and Porsche have been terrible at. Mercedes have been ok.

But so far, big, big thumbs up from me!

Very nice combination John a MY03 WRX Blue Mica with P1's !



I got mine 2 weeks ago, and it drives much better then the MY01 WRX that i owned. The STI spoiler looks very nice on your car !

Ps. do u have a picture from a side view of the car ?

Bart - No, sorry I dont - but Im picking the car up on monday so will have many, many pictures to bore people with on monday afternoon/evening I didnt really bother taking a proper side on one because the sills arent on it yet, as they are being painted.

Yours is looking cool mate

Cool

I picked up my brand new Bugeye from the very same dealer last September and felt the service I recieved was excellent, never bought a new car before and was treated very well with everything explained properly and never rushed at any stage!!
Got my sills colour coded too and think it looks really good

Well done on your car, looks lovely!!

PS, say hi to Keith for me

Cheers guys - tomorrow is the big day!!

Ross - Keith is the guy I'm dealing with

Wrath - I cant remember off the top of my head Im afraid - I *think* it was in the £150 ish region. I cant quite remember - maybe slightly less, maybe slightly more (or I may be a million miles out ) IIRC, I think he said they would do it 'at cost'.

I'll try and find out tonight or romorrow.

lol,

Havent had a chance to do some today - too busy 'acquainting' (sp) myself with the car - my first scoob . I've kept strictly to the running in recommendations (well, 99.99% of the time I did ) but already it is fantastic.

Will probably have some up tomorrow.
