Nice Nice NICE!  :D

So Steve, did you do away with the self levelling kit then? I thought your car may have the later elite alloys being an '02 plate  :-? Does it have leather or Sat Nav? Looks the biz  :y

Thanks fo the comments guys,

The self levelling is still active and works fine even when fully loaded.

It does have heated leather front and back but apart from the LSD it is pretty much standard.

As for the later alloys I am sorry to say that I think that they totally wasted the look of the car using the later alloys and much prefer the ones fitted.

Paul.c,

I've had no problems at all with speed bumps so far and have been over just about all the types available I think.

Steve

Was lucky in that whoever bought the car originally must have added the LSD option as traction control was not available, not much else to tell really.

As you will have gathered from my posts the car is not totally standard either as it is chipped, K&N'd and the exhaust is a stainless system. All in all pretty nippy for an oil burner and now handles brilliantly.
