My New Car

This is my new motor. Traded in my 197 2 weeks ago now. Ive finally got this one in the condition I want it. Really pleased with it, and thought I'd add a couple of pics. I painted the centre of the bumper and wingmirrors gloss black (cupra style)

Any comments or ideas of improvement welcome (unless they are telling me to sell it lol!)
 
Its a different car all together. You sit very low, and the dash wraps you in nicely. Fit and finish is top class. Power delivery is instant due to the turbo, handling seems up to yet to be very confidence inspiring. Loads quicker than the 197, but its only the colour that gives it anything to make it stand out. Bit more of a grown up car, to me an overlooked gem, to others a big barge. I would hope one day that I will find an R27 for my missus as she loved the 197, but too much money tied up in a depriciating baked bean tin.
