Hello from Sussex

Post by Sparco05 »

Afternoon all,

I thought I'd take a minute to sign up, I'm 90% decided on buying a gen 3.5 2.0 coupe in silver!

Going to have a good read through and see what I need to look for on Monday when I plan on parting with my cash (can probably guess I might have already made the decision lol)

Any early pointers welcome haha!!

I had a gen 3 on a 52 plate a few years back and loved it so hoping I'm not suffering rose tinted glasses haha!

Anyways! Hello!

Shaun

Well I'm officially a coupe owner, just picked it up! Only one minor gremlin I have found is that the electric mirrors only go up.. Guessing it's a loose connection on the switch as they both do it! Will investigate at the weekend! Thanks for such a warm welcome [emoji4]

Thanks again!

It's a 55 plate 2.0 gen 3.5 in silver, love it, reminds me of the gen 3 I had years ago :)

It is a little tatty wiyh a few scratches on the bumper etc! But with a bit of tlc it'll be all good again!

Full service history etc. Only two little problems ive noticed so far,

Electric mirrors mentioned above and its had a new exhaust recently (middle section and the two back boxes) but they seem to knock a little over bumps so will need to adjust :P

Looking forward to getting more involved here soon

Cheers
