Fluke Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 (edited) After searching for the right car in the right colour and spec, I managed to finally get the one I wanted, and I bought it fairly cheap with 49k low mileage, Berk de-cats, Miltek Exhaust, JWT pop charger, Gia Cuzzo Colour matched spoiler, front splitter and with a full service history. I only insured it for a day whilst I drove it home and its been sat on my drive while I sell my MX5. It also gives me the chance to make all the little changes I want to it, to personalise it a little. Here she is. So far I have replace the Bose radio with an all singing all dancing Appradio 2, installed a review camera and swapped over the standard boot struts with uprated ones, so that my boot lid stays up. By far the biggest change has been getting my seats reconditioned by Midlandmars, it cost me £225, but was worth every penny. The drivers seat was the worst, check out my before and after pictures. As you can see Tony at MidlandMars has done an absolutely stunning job and to be honest I was close to getting rid of them and buying a decent secondhand set, which would have no doubt set me back more than I spent getting these done, and it only took them 2 days. I have a set of Rays that I got for a bargain £300 delivered, that I plan on getting refurbed in shadow chrome. There's a new set of genuine Nissan mats on the way, along with new leather gaters to match the interior.

S1 HNK Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Looking good. I'd be seriously dubious that those seats have only done 49k though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovie Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 So is it not insured at the mo? looks great but what if it gets stolen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluke Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 It's insured, I'm just not using it until my 5 has been sold. - it provides motivation and gives mr time to make the changes I want to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
