Dealers Buying a Type S GT 2.2 through DriveTheDeal - Page 2

OK - purchase made. Argued the value of the Supaguard right down, happy with that.

Car coming end of this month! Marvellous.

Nice one! What options did you get,if any?? Looks like we'll be getting ours around the same time and for same price....

Rizlam · 10th March 2007, 21:05

Only HFT, the Supaguard, Image pack, and carpets (!).

I'm going to get 18" inch weels elsewhere because after reading on here about the lottery of what rubber you get, I've decided to go get my own 3rd party rims so I can specify my own rubber.

I'm also possibly getting a personalized plate (hmm - still undecided about that) and after running it in, get an ECU reflash for the power upgrade.

ALSO - and this will be interesting - I have found a fascia adaptor for allowing you to put a double DIN head unit in (meaning my HFT will have a short life!) so I will be getting something like the new pioneer unit along with reversing sensors too.

It arrives in 45 minutes on a transporter.

Woohoo!

How exciting - hope you have fun

czechplastik · 2nd April 2007, 10:02

Nice one!

Rizlam · 2nd April 2007, 10:52

OK - here it is. It's quite grubby

from the journey but it's ace!

However - I have an issue. I don't think they've given me the full image pack. I thought the image pack included painted skirts inserts; I don't have that. Can anyone confirm?

Lozza · 2nd April 2007, 12:32

Sorry mate but that IS the full image pack you've got, same as what I have. Colured skirts only come with the Type R unfortrunately...still, enjoy the car!! Is it diesel? Had mine 5 days now and I just can't stop driving it! Just fed it for the first time on BP Ultimate and it is really starting to motor!

Rizlam · 2nd April 2007, 12:42

Yep, dead same as yours. 2.2 Type S GT NHB Diesel.

I've definitely seen other people's Type-S's here though with coloured inserts on the skirts. Surely I'm not imagining that?

Gonna go get it cleaned in a bit! See what it looks like without a thin layer of crud on it.

Great looking car

.

Have fun.

Lozza · 2nd April 2007, 12:46

Enjoy the car! I know other people have coloured theirs themselves or got bodyshop specialists to do it for them, but its deffo not part of the image pack...so don't worry, you haven't been ripped off!! It is shame about them not doing it or offering it as an option. Might get mine done in a few months...after I've had it chipped!!

Rizlam · 2nd April 2007, 13:04

We're really going down the same path here

But I won't chip mine until the engine has loosened up considerably, with a good 1500 miles under its belt. The characteristics of the engine are dictated by how it beds in and I don't want to stress that outside of the norm before going down the ECU reflash route. But it's definitely something I'm going to do

Lozza · 2nd April 2007, 13:46

Yeah, about 6 months time for me. Even the dealer suggested I get it chipped when I went to collect it last week!! I've just requested a brochure from Superchips,looks gooooooodddd!!
