She's here

pienchips · 03-23-2016, 08:34 AM

At precisely 9:25 this morning, the Ontime transporter turned up and unveiled his precious cargo.

Disgorged and parked on the drive, I spent the next 1/2 hour familiarising myself with the i whatsit and cursing the lack of an internal door lock/unlock button...

Then a quick spin to see if everything was OK, the sat nav thought it was still in Southhampton until I drive a few meters and then sorted itself out.

MMmmm I think i'm going to enjoy this car.

Got home and the mods commenced

Front grills

Rear diffuser

I can't believe how much this has transformed the rear, proper purposeful now

New speakers and E-mods i'll have a play with over the weekend.
I'll see how much the ride height settles but I can see a set of Eibachs winging there way on soon.

One very happy easter bunny

Nice!

Rukka · 03-23-2016, 08:41 AM

That's lovely

Internal door lock/unlock button is in-between the front center air vents - below the Hazard switch

Is that dropped for LCI then? On my car it's below the hazard light switch.

mikeoz · 03-23-2016, 09:16 AM

Nice looking car.
Ride height does look high...did it have transport blocks on in the first pics?

creepy coupe · 03-23-2016, 09:20 AM

Very nice.

Atlas12v · 03-23-2016, 09:34 AM

Must be awesome seeing the transporter arriving!

225 · 03-23-2016, 09:52 AM

Fantastic! Very nice. I opted to and get mine so I could put a couple of hundred miles on it and shorten the run in period!

SDH · 03-23-2016, 10:44 AM

Very nice, congratulations on her birth you must be proud.

SDH · 03-23-2016, 10:46 AM

Also could you post a square on close up of rear diffuser please?

pienchips · 03-23-2016, 11:03 AM

Thanks for the complements guys, just got back in from a quick blast up the cat n fiddle, its quite nimble considering the pig iron under the bonnet, managed to get the TC light flashing already with a bit of mid corner hop

Ahem, I found the unlock button

The ride height is a tad higher than i'd like, but I expected that with it being an x-drive, easily sorted though.

I'll get some rear shots up when the lights a bit better, its a tad grey at the minute, so getting the diffuser exposed is a tad tricky.

philiper1 · 03-23-2016, 11:18 AM

Lovely

jnismith · 03-23-2016, 11:22 AM

Looks great - wish mine was that clean!
