Haha red sport badge was on the car when purchased so not a personal choice!
I know number plate should be spaced A13 XBB but even MOT testers don't seem to be bothered about the spacing as plate has been on previous cars and all letters and spaces between letters are legal.
The two black dots are just a temporary thing as when I removed the old plates someone has drilled two fixing holes in the boot I'm sure double sided tap has been around for years
The wheels can't stay silver sadly! Never been a fan of silver wheels, prefer ones with even just a small hint of gunmetal!
Phantom squeezing was the ARB bushes which are being replaced tomorrow!

Great looking car and again would leave the wheels as they are , just a question mate , are those genuine overfinch wheels as i can`t see the stamp and if not is there any problems with load rating on replica wheels ? . regards langley43

Well after about 2 months of ownership I'm loving RRS ownership! Don't do massive millage so the SC was the choice for me!

On the day of purchase:

Has quite a nice spec with rear entertainment and sunroof!

Only real change so far is the 2012 spec rear lights and also fitted LED's to all the interior and exterior lights! Oh and finally got my private plate off retention

Possibly going to have the wheels powder coated anthracite/black but still undecided!
Booked in for a phantom squeek and a replacement key@LRR in Charlton who have been helpful so far! Anyone on here used them?

Alex

Hi alex, hope you dont mind me asking. where did you get your rear lights and interior lights from? have your upgrade rear lights got built in resistors?
Thanks
Mark

Right not too much to report got the squeek sorted which turned out to be ARB bushes! Had them replaced by a independent RR garage but apparently it was a bit of a nightmare and ended in a 7 hour labour bill!?!? After a search on here appears it should be a 2 hour job so not too sure on that one!
Removed the red sport and chrome supercharged badge and replaced it with a black and chrome one, have also got a set of black RR letters to go on and that's about it!
Still enjoying ownership and the sound does put a smile on my face! Averaging just over 13MPG Although i did see nearly 18 on a long run the other day
Next on the list is a wheel colour change and hopefully sparky8181's headlight LED mod!

Replaced the side vents with the powerfuluk gloss black supercharged ones!

Done by wicked wheels kent for £45 +VAT a wheel

Next plan is colour code the headlight internals and fit sparkys DRL's which I've had for ages

Then possibly a trip to Meduza 8)

Liked the wheels before a little better to be honest. It has cheapened the look, I think.

7 hours to do arb! I did mine on the drive in about a hour, that's just on a trolley jack.

I like the wheels black! I like the private number plate too! But only your opinion counts.

I have a dislike to silver wheels for some reason so they had to go!
Can't please everyone and wouldn't do anything to my car for that reason, if everyone on forums followed the usual suggested "mods" it would be a bit boring!
I had a mk1 TT before and you were cast out if you didn't have wheel spacers!

Received my Hawke smoked repeaters in the post today to replace the clear ones

Finally got round to fitting Sparky's DRL kit after having it for well over a year!

Completely stripped out the headlight internals as i wanted the all black look!

All painted gloss black thanks to my friend at Barkaway Ferrari

Nearly back together..

Thought we better test them before sticking the lens back on!

The final look

I'm so happy with them and the DRL controller works really well coming on when the car is started and a delay of about 10 seconds when switched off!
