Been trying to get pictures of this since I got it on christmas eve but the weather has been shocking.
Was 1 or 2 above 0 so went out a quick drive to get a couple of dirty pics.
Quite liking it so far although not had much chance to drive it yet.

 did you not like the Saab?
I've not had that for the past year.
Also, that crap front plate isn't staying, was one I found in the garage and I put it on to try and help decide if I want a pressed one, normal size or cut down.

Good choice. 5 door with XP looks the bollocks. Get it on some eibachs then boxed or mapped.
Same colour as mine was too.

Got the box through for it before I got the car
I want it mapped but I got the box for £120 so I couldn't pass up on it, it'll do until I decide what way I want it mapped.
I like the idea of the Regal IPF but I don't like the £600 price tag or Regal.

These actually look as good in 5 door as they do in 3 door. Nice choice of engine too! Get a DTUK box on there!
Edit: You replied as I did That'll have a bit of pace!

I've not had much chance to boot it yet, there's only one stretch of road where I get to half test it out (where it's quicker than my 172 was btw) but it's too icy everywhere to chance stacking it.

I want some proper xenons for it, can be done for about 500 quid, a lot for some fancy bulbs though.
Box on it just now but will be looking into a remap.
First thing I'll be doing is giving it a good clean as soon as it stays above freezing for more than 5 minutes.

Fuck yeah same with my car mate!
I'd just get some nice HID's? Surely the cost of the Zenons is a bit much? Mind you i did love them on my 182.HID's can look a bit chavvy

I'll see how I feel in the new year, I'm swaying towards the cheap option, I'll keep my eye out on ebay for a rear ended one with xenons.

Looks good, I wanted a star silver one but couldnt get one with decent mileage. Have a play about with your box on it, you can get it nice and smokey..
Mine just had an air con compressor under warranty which they had in stock which I found strange. Maybe a common fault so keep an ear open for a rattle from that area.
