Good on yer. You'll love it. Especially with the full leather and the pegasus alloys really suit the silver car. After you've got it try driving it changing gear at different revs. If you start to change up at around 2.5k rpm you just get a smooth non-stop surge until you top out in 6th. it brings a grin to my face every time i get it right

Forgot to say, what an awesome stereo, thats the best OME set up ive ever heard in a car for that money. Its a massive improvement over the octy 1 system.
