    I don't recognize the Reg... it has been kicking about on eBay a good while though?
    Arguing is pointless....she may not be right but she's never wrong

    Tell her a remap is just having your satnav updated.....

    It used to be si850r car before that it was giles, it has no history so god knows where he got the full history from,the front wing used to be like crocodile skin (bad paint) reaction after an accident repair, it runs well but it has a lot of hidden faults.
    Be cautious if buying!!!
    Just my opinion

    Wrong wheels, auto, overpriced, history has been rightly queried too, IMHO - suggest £1300-1500 and that would be pushing it.
    KISS Rs

    850R manual, Rica 310, IKEA fitted bathroom, H&C running water, Jetex 2.5", pipe rack, cap stand, Forge BOV, circular wheels with full 360 degree rotation, 302mm discs, IPD front and rear anti-roll bars, numerous shiny features, sub-atomic particle accelerator, VTOL capability ...Volvo With Attitude!!!
    Also to be seen in a gold Honda CR-V these days...

    Don't know if anyone's interested but there's a nice looking Green T5R just gone on Ebay, guy says it's just been repainted and he's wanting about £1500 for it.

    Yeah that did make me giggle, however it's a clean looking car and he doesnt want that much for it, tbh if I had the money I'd go have a look at it (even if it is green...blaa)

    my apologise, after speaking to Giles it had 126k miles on when he sold it so the mileage is more than likely correct
