Well come on - For me - I've had it for ages, and surely you can tell it's been coming with the posts I've been putting up !

Loads of threads on here about it, but here's the potted history.

Bought from a former member here - it's a 2006 - "06" - 115+ Diesel, with the full 180 kit in Ignition Blue. Nearly 48K. Currently on a private plate so when a deposit taken it'll take approx 2 weeks to get back onto the 06. It had a decent service history before my ownership. Standard equipment includes climate control and rear sensors.

Tax is 130 a year and you won't need any until April 2012.

Since buying it at the end of January this year, I have done the following -

Mechanical -
New Maf
Full service including changing the belts
RR tune and garage fitted the following mechanical performance mods
SDis - Stainless Decat - EGR blanked - KN panel filter - RR print of 151 bhp - See the thread for dets and I've got everything in the shed if you want to put it back to standard. Still returns 45 mpg in current state of tune.
4 new tyres - They were required for MOT. They are premium budgets, but I'll be honest, not the best in the wet.
Blue silicone Roose Motorsport hoses

Interior
Full leather sport interior fitted
Pioneer Blu Tooth head unit with single CD and front USB

Condition -
As per the photos - so nice - and a few of the guys have seen it in the flesh. Up close - it has some stone chips to the front and a car park dink or two.

Issues -
EML is on as the EGR is blanked.
Airbag light is on. This came on when I swapped the interior.
Very slight damage to the rear bumper.
Stone chip centre windscreen in front of the driver.

Why sell - Good point - Kinda half hearted if I'm honest - Stamford's gonna kill me - and in no rush whatsoever - but I honestly feel lazy in the car now and simply fancy a cumfy auto.

Here she is - all of these photos are on the site already on other threads as are all the other details you may want to know about the car.

Price - ?4000 - ONO -

Yes I know it's top dollar, but it's a good one and you know it.

I MIGHT take a cheap 180 as px but you won't get a lot for it as their values are on the floor just now - but please-please-please, don't that personally guys.

Swap offers so far -

Honda Accord - really tempted but a waster who's not sent another message through and a "55" C4 Coupe.

The C4 is soooo tempting. No V6s yet though .....
