JCW 210 or BBR 220. I'm still

Superb drive !
Superb car !
just need to run in for 1250 miles now. Picked the car up new, so parted with £23k, not just £3k !!!

Worth every penny - watch out Honda Type R's !!!!!

Got the car - superb machine. Just can't put it to its full potential for another 900 miles yet. It is great cruising in a 210bhp Works S though. Especially with the private.

Just waiting for the West Tuning wheels now.

I'll post pictures as soon as the weather brightens up.

Will do. Your signature picture is really teasing me towards getting the strut brace.
Do you know how much it is to fit this ?

Not sure how much the strut brace costs, but I'd be wary of fitting one.

A friend of mine had one and was involved in a minor front end shunt. Because the brace makes the front end so rigid, instead of spreading out the shock that was absorbed, it just remained stiff and twisted his chassis

If it wasn't for this I'd go for one
