Unlucky about the first car but glad you got your money back and bought this beauty. Is the Seapang a special colour on these? And what's your plans for her/him.
Thanks mate ,yes first time i was glad to get a policeman pull me over lol! funny how things work out this is what i had in mind originaly full spec inside other car had little inside, special colour yes apparently nearly 2k extra when new,after xmas defo going for stage 1 remap and miltech,was going to get wheels powdercoated black but think ill stick with original alloy colour looks better in this blue i think.
Beautiful car! That colour is just amazing and SO glad to hear you got this after the stress of the first one.

LOL ill try and keep it short mate bought car garage in Northwood London 2009 plate S3, hpi checked came back ok,2 weeks later whilst out driving police car gets the lights on and pulls me over,he asked if i just bought car which i had he informed the car had a police marker on it from an incident it had been invovled in and the car had been damaged in someway but couldnt say what until Luton police spoke to me,i called garage and asked for money back no excuses which he said ok, he knew nothing of the car had been in smash he bought from a main dealer??? before this the car had been remapped with a decat exhaust on which i asked him to change which he had agreed,phoned bedfordshire police they said car had been invovled in an alleged incident which they where still looking for driver and they records stated the car was A RIGHT OFF! took car back next day 2 miles from garage police pulled me again! anyway got money back the garage dealer mailed me a couple of days later saying the marker was off the previous dealer insisted it had no accident and was putting back up for sale ive checked since and car is off his web site so i assume hes sold it i would like to print garage name but fear i may get into trouble but the car was 2009 sprint blue with black alloys and remapped in the London area so hope no one on here has it now there are ways around getting a car marked as an official right off if it hasnt went through inuserers as a cat BCD etc.That really does look stunning

Ah ok, was wondering.
Well the new one looks a beaut and luckily got your refund on other.
Regarding posting the garage name, it's a public forum so it's your call but this forum does come up aggressively in google search results, so maybe best not to.
If it was me I would just to give others others the heads up but your call and I guess you just want to put it behind you anyway
