Straight to work removing the gash stickers, underglow etc it had been proper chavved.

She's an aero with the floating brembos, decat, some exhaust, filter and intake.

Very nice.

Not close to a Vauxhall man, but these have aged superbly well.

How would you rate it to drive?

That's a million times better without those stupid decals.

How are you finding it after the Range Rover?

Goes really well handles superb bit firm bit getting used to it now. I actually like it never ever thought I'd say that šŸ¤£

So far spent less on fuel, tax and insurance, can actually send it on and have fun without anything breaking, although spent a fortune rectifying the previous owners gash mods. Going to get a fmic, primary cat delete and we should be fit for 350 bhp, unless a subaru comes along for a deal against it

Looks decent. Cousin had one which was a good going thing. How does it manage with the scottish hill climbing and dog(s) ?

Boots big enough for the pup we kept even once he grows, they are pretty massive inside to be fair. Most of the places we go walking the dog are forestry commission tracks so have car parks etc, joys of the Highlands they cater for tourists who can't drive
