So we bought a R53 in electric blue,
Negative points, it had a ridiculous exhaust on it, Hornet/Malian which was hugely offensive on test driving and on the 200 mile journey back, gave us a headache from the drone. The brakes didn’t feel like you were going to stop, but there was no fade so I knew it was only the pads and discs.
Loads of minor cosmetic niggles that weren’t evident in the pictures, but after the journey and deal to trade in our R55, it was a gamble worth taking. The LED spot lamps came off as soon as we got home…
The positives were the colour, really decent bodywork, low mileage for age at 87000 and extensive service history. It also had a remap, large intercooler and a Kav reduced pulley which gave a dyno reading of 199.9bhp!
Also fitted were a set of black 17” Wolfrace along with a full aero kit and some dechroming.
