    It’s the Nitrous Blue, this one here

    Hopefully I don’t now find out something really bad about it, lol!

    On the test drive (too short and busy town roads) it seemed a bit lacking around 2500-3000 rpm after my Cupra, once you hit 5000 rpm it was a different animal though, probably need to adapt my driving style to suit.

    Still undecided about the wheels, but they are probably the easiest thing to change, might just get them resprayed but they are fine for now.

    @Gary,  once you’ve got used to driving it you’ll find 2500/3000 rpm, really punchy especially in sport mode when pressing on. The pop and bangs are at there best ha ha ha ????. You’ll not be disappointed go for it have fun.

    Well one very sedate drive home in rush hour traffic, plus a trip to Halfords before they closed for a Disklok and a faraday pouch, won’t be able to get behind the wheel again until Sunday afternoon, can’t wait!
