    Congrats and enjoy. Mine's in transit. Getting a touch antsy.

    Dig the red belts.

    That's one hell of a beauty. Lucky you .
    The wheels are indeed really nice. Much better than the stock 19"wheels.

    Good luck with it!

    Re: First Pics of new ride

    Looks great and similar to my spec. Did the OPC cause any problems when you installed non-OEM wheels?
    Is the colour plain black or Basalt (difficult to tell from the photo)? I'm toying with flat black but have been told I'll spend more time detailing than driving.

    Re: First Pics of new ride

    Thanks for the comments.
    The car is plain black but worth the extra effort!
    I have a Basalt CTT and it looks good but not the deep rich lustre of the Plain Black. Showroom lights dont do it justice. When I got it outside it was simply stunning.
    The computer is sounding off because the guy in the garage forgot to fit the pressure sensors to the wheels. Going back to shop at the weekend to have them fitted.
    Car was definitely worth the wait. I had an 02996 turbo and its that and more.

    Very nice. That look w/ the wheel spokes going the outer edge of the wheel makes them look huge. The only way it could look cooler would be to have larger PCCB rotors in there. Congrats, awesome looking car.

    Now that are some great looking wheels!

    Great wheels, great car! Enjoy!

    Thanks guys!

    I am struggling a bit trying to get a lip and wing for it. It still seems early days yet and most companies dont have stock or photos etc!
    All I want is a GT2 style rear wing either to fit the existing rear spoiler or to include new deck lid and a front lip to match? Hope to have something soon.

    Congrats Turbo S, I managed to catch your car in the flesh last week and it looks spectacular. The new exhaust tailpipes finish it off in my opinion. Hopefully my one is the next one to be delivered.

    It was a long time waiting but worth the wait. Hope you get yours soon. What combination have you gone for Bobcat?

    I have Fabspeed quad tailpipes. Forgot to photograph them at the time but will do it soon.

I believe your down in EDI area?. Like yourself I was also thinking of going the route of a tubi and looking on in interest at the tubi post. Let me know if you get anymore details, Thnx.

    Will do! Meteor is cracking colour too.
    I have been dealing with Checkpoint in the Granite City, who are looking after me well for things.
    Will wait a bit before getting the pipes, I think!!!
    Prefer to finish the exterior first.
    Cheers

    I just looked at the Fabspeed website, the quad pipes appear to be exactly the same as the Evoms quads that I put on my TT. I agree they look way better than the stock items!
    (Also sound better when mated to the cargraphic sport system!)

    The car is dirty and the weather a bit rough but hope it lets you see the look of the quad pipes. Cleaner pics soon I hope.

    I was surprised when I got my car that I didnt think it was as quiet as everyone said it would be? I am concerned at getting sports muffler as it may get very wearing after a while, what do you think?

    I have the exact some worries/thoughts... I think I need to hear a couple in person. Videos are difficult to judge from as volumes and camera mics can be deceptive.

    Re: First Pics of new ride

    I think hearing it in the flesh would help immensely. I havent been totally sold on the videos, they probably dont do it justice.

    Thanks to all kind comments about the car.
    And to those who didnt like it.
