Mike M Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Sold the wife's WRX SL wagon!! However, it's being replaced with this...... 58 plate STi Type UK in Obsidian Black It's our first brand new car and I just thought, sod it, you only live once!! Getting 18's with it, mesh front grill, fogs and a load of interior accessories, so it'll look a lot better once it's sorted. Supposedly the black UK car's are very rare, (they're not even an option in the brochure), but knowing my luck they'll be loading a ship with 1000 of the buggers as I type this!! TBH the car looks loads better in the flesh than in the photos and I'll be sorting the rear lights asap!!! So if anyone wants a mint WRX wagon, give S&S in Ayr a ring Mike

Mike M Posted July 31, 2008 Author Posted July 31, 2008 tell me about it!! But it's the Mrs's car so I've got to be really sneeky when it comes to mods!!
scoobyit Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 nice car I would be telling the dealer to take the big sign off the roof cause it may mark the paint esp it being black Hope you enjoy
emoe Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Well done mate. As far as im concerned i couldnt afford to buy a new car (even though id love one) because of the way this country is headed! BUT, you are right, you only live once, and if you want it then go for it. its a lovely car you have there, Well done!
oobster Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Very nice Mike Looking forward to seeing some pics of it out the showroom.
s25yme Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 You only live once is totally right, I walked into showroom pointed and said, "I want one of those in BLACK, How long before you get one?" He replied I said "thanks" gave him my number and left. Sweated for days until phone call came and week later I sitting in brand new car 6 miles on the clock and huge grin, Would I rather have the money or the car!!!! Cash not put smile on ma face like the car does...19 months later STILL SMILING
dram300 Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Jammy sod, drooled over that very one on tuesday. I've nipping at the wife ever since. I'd never seen the 2008 in black, has a lot of presence about it. Did you get the five spoke 18's? Apparently, 9 out 10 new buyers get the 18s over the standard 17s. My 05 WRX is 3 years old in 6 weeks ... help me, tell me I don't actually need a new one !!!
strapper Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Saw both these cars in at s&s today, look very nice indeed!
Mike M Posted July 31, 2008 Author Posted July 31, 2008 Thanks guys, yeah getting the Lusteric 5 spokes, was gonna get the prodrives, but cleaning the 14 spokes was gonna do my head in!!! I'd agreed the deal before it even went in the showroom, the dealer was cheeky putting it in there in the first place!! Then the salesman let someone sit in and I politely told the salesman to get them out MY car and lock it and I wanted it out the showroom that night!! If anyone's passing S&S and see it still in the showroom, can you let me know, as there'll be one almighty opportunity ass kicking if it is Mike
colzo Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Nice one Mike. I would agree that seeing them in the metal is totally different from pictures. I don't care what anyone says there is no better feeling than owning a brand new car (3 out of 4 of my Scoobs have been brand new), and I'm sure you and the good lady will keep it mint. I've never saw a black one but the dark grey demo I test drove looked great. Enjoy the experience, I'm not jealous at all!
