Ive agree to flip it, decent chap as well so dont want to mess him about or let him down but I have a few 2nd thoughts if Im honest.

Very lucky to find an unwanted circuit pack, picked it up from a local dealer today. The price increase wipes out most of the profits from the last car but I prefer the red to the black and trying to do man maths accordingly. Have been driving carefully for the first 77 miles of the 600 run in, but the ride quality stands out even at 4 tenths.

If the car was what you actually wanted, why did you get rid of the first one?

Saw one on (grubby) gold comps a couple of weeks back. Looked pretty funky.

The wheels are a bit too tucked in imo but they suit the car.

Red Circuit Pack is the right spec, IMO. Don't paint the wheels bronze/gold like Harry though.

The wheels on that white one are very

Is that a German emissions sticker in the windscreen?

Stupidity, someone made me a silly offer.

Agree, Im not a huge fan of the gold wheels, I changed my WRX from gold the grey. I love black cars, but keeping them clean for more than 10 minutes is nigh on impossible.

Bit of a jump from a 7 series (IIRC)! They are a cool little thing though. Nice colours too.

Very true, I was actually looking at a 750i a few weeks ago but I decided that it wasnt great value and wouldn't be fun to drive and a stupid purchase when fuel is over £2/litre.

Keeping a black car clean is a hateful task.

They do look great lowered a bit these GRs, I followed one down the a675 yesterday from Bolton, looked lowered and sounded very fruity for a standard car.

I think they look good at standard height tbh, throwback to the old rally rep days of sporty cars actually having some suspension travel

I spent a lot of money making an Impreza worse by lowering it too much.

The Litchfield nitrons have been well reviewed, but are a £3k upgrade and a £1k maintenance service every 18k miles.

I picked the car up as a "dirty handover" and booked in for a polish and ceramic coating. The car almost looks a different colour now and for the sake of £400 it will be super easy to clean for the next few years.



As much as I love black cars, they are only clean for 10 minutes and I do think that the red has the edge on the black and white cars.

That’s the best gr colour. Not that there’s an enormous choice from factory, only white black or red?

Very nice (although it looks like they funked up your reggie plate).

Still cool wee cars Are you a “run it in” or “punish it from new” guy?

Well jel, looks great in red
