Well... thought I'd better post a picture up while it's still in all it's naked glory  Picked up from jax at AC-Glasgow this morning... 30mile drive home & it's filthy already. Anyway... :-      Just had to call ACE & break the news that I sourced a car elsewhere... received a call back from the Sales Manager, not too happy, as expected... but what can you do? I did ask them last week if they could source a 'similar' car quicker than mid-June, and they said no... so they had the 1st opportunity to sort something out for me. They plainly couldn't be bothered, as there were some only 40miles away at their sister dealership if they'd only checked... Ah well. I got the guilt trip "but we've ordered this in specially for you so we will be left with it"... which is complete nonsense because I was told originally that they had one already on order to the spec I was looking for which they could put my name against ?!??! Initial impressions of it are good. Bit noisy on motorway, but that's probably new tyre syndrome... may calm down a bit (I just put the radio up a bit more). Steering wheel seems slightly mis-aligned to the left... probably more noticeable due to the flat bottomed steering wheel. Will go check tyre pressures when I'm filling her up, in case they are to blame... failing that, I'll live with it for a week or so to see if it 'beds-in'.. lol Enough of my waffle... Away out to get some Tesco 99... and then may have a bash at doing some stickers. Andy |

Took the scenic way back from Tesco's .. hehe.  Started on the stickers... but now need to go pickup the kids from school. Maybe try the side stripes later.  |

Why not just forget the stripes and get a few more scorpians on there? Have fun! |

Yeah.. I'm thinking the one on the spoiler will be getting removed. Think it will be overkill by the time I get the stripes on. Did think about slapping it on the roof, which, I think may have looked better. Wife will be home in 5mins... so she will tell me what to do anyway  |

I wouldn't put it on the roof either. But it is personal taste.
