Normal 200 does but the cup is really stripped out, no a/c, no electric mirrors, key start rather than card, all in the name of saving weight
Lovely car. I also want to do something about my 197's fading diffuser. Would a plasti-dip be sensible given the proximity to the exhaust?
It sounds like a there a few of us on here from the Manchester area. Are there ever meets in the Peak district? I need an excuse to go exploring the area.

Not got any of my own pics yet, but heres a couple off the cars advert:
VERY NICE.....Would look great in my car!!!
Thanks mate, I will see if I can make it. Trafford Centre is only 10 mins from me.
Yeah maybe plastidip might not be the best idea thinking further. I only liked the idea of it because you can just spray it in situ and peel off any overspray.
Although i've looked into it now and the diffuser looks easy to remove, so think i'll paint it gloss black eventually. Only thing is with it being textured plastic you'll never get anything more than satin black look to it so options would be to either sand down the rough texture of the plastic or use multiple coats of filler primer to smooth it before painting.
It does seem like theres a bunch of us from around Manchester! If your looking for a good road for a blast, the A537 out of Macclesfield is a great drive
