Well just picked up the car,
well done to the few who guessed,
also a big thanks to those who kept stum!
I know some people thought it was pointless/waste of money, however im really glad i bought it,
I got a VERY VERY good deal, and the car is 100% mint, not a single mark on it. 1 owner, 4000 miles from new.
Heres some pics,






I have alot planned for the car,
keepting it subtle and sporty, The style i like.
sorry for the crap pics but when i got home it was dark! + its not really clean yet,
Well not the way i like it!

Gonna get quite a few bits done straight away mind,
Need to :-
Buy, get sprayed and fitted new bumper strips,
Buy, get aprayed and fitted rear boot lock,
Its getting tinted on the 2nd of oct,
Fit the coilovers onto it, from the SXi,
Then it will be basically the same,
After that i have the next BIG thing planned

All the bits from the SRi are now on the SXi,
So the SXi is like and SRi,
SRi alloys,
SRi front and rear bumpers,
SRi mirrors
SRi roof spoiler
1.8 SRi exhaust,
The SXi is now up for sale,

would it not of been easier and more cost effective to just swap the engine and any other bits over to the sxi ?

No i didnt get it new,
however if you didnt know the milage on the car you would defently think it is new..
There is not a single mark on it,
not a single stone chip, stain on the seat or mark on the dash board.
It smells new, drives like new, and has been serviced 2 times since new.
Its only done 4000 miles in 1 year.
