WoW!!!

[Danny]

about time you got some pics up Mark, looks very nice. Hyundai have come along way from 10 years ago eh.

As for the BHP, the missus' 2.0L Megane only has 136bhp, still a bit of oomph mind :)

[scuderia91]

now thats a very nice car mate, gonna be modding this at all?

[MRHBLUE2]

Danny - it is pokey, yep, and Hyundai have made great headway on their design work - this is one really nice drive....

Scuderia - not for the next 5yrs buddy - warranty reasons ;)

[Danny]

I dont think it needs any messing with personally, the wheels look good which saves buying new ones :)

[davec2furio]

My mate at work has the 1.6 version of this which is pretty gutless. The spec and interior are awesome though. Plus the bonus of a 5 year warranty! He has had all 3 versions of these cars and never had to do anything to them apart from the usual service.
They seem great value for money :) yours being the 2.0 should be much better.

[MRHBLUE2]

...5yr warranty swung it really !!!!

I can imagine the 1.6 is a little lacking power wise - especially for the styling of the car !

As for modding - eventually I would like a paint scheme like the Aston that James May drove on the search for the ultimate driving road lol

[gregwVTS]

Looks the dogs bollocks, looks fantastic mate. Shame it hasn't got as much power but it's still quick enough and will keep insurance costs down. 5 yr warranty is a great deal and good luck with it mate, I look forward to seeing it!

[MRHBLUE2]

Yeah buddy deffo

Insurance was 3 quid a month more than my Furio !!!!!!

Go figure that !!!

[MRHBLUE2]

Hmmmm what ya think to this ?

Lowered and painted alloys....

i think it looks mint with the oramge alloys, you should do it with red alloys so it matches your interior and also do some red detailing on the mirrors and fron bumper

[gregwVTS]

hmmmm....... if you go orange I would suggest something else needs to be orange to tie it in, mirrors perhaps? Red could be an idea as Nath suggests. Does the car have a spoiler? I cant really tell on the top pictures too well, because the spoiler on your sig suits the car perfectly.

[MRHBLUE2]

Hmmmm maybe some red detailing - will try those ideas later....

Greg - it does have a spoiler - just not the "Wild" spoiler in my sig....

[elniniol999]

dont go orange on the alloys!!!!

realllllllllllly think it would spoil it all

[MRHBLUE2]

I aint doing the orange - bad idea - just the chav side coming out lol

But check out this kit....

Stunning car Mark! Always loved these, especially the S111 version! :)
Can look like really top notch cars too with a few mods, there's a gorgeous one near me in yellow with black roof and bonnet, little chavy but nice! :)

As for power I'm sure when ur ready too there's plenty more to get from that engine! :)

[MRHBLUE2]

Yes mate - plenty to do powerwise - turbo and supercharging kits readily available

[jnc90]

haha, would be immense then! :)

[MRHBLUE2]

...update some new pics on first post !

[C2raig]

Really nice, I rate these highly. I've not driven an SIII but I've driven and sold several late model ones and couldn't fault them.

I'd have an automagic V6 tomorrow, if my fuel allowance covered it.

[MRHBLUE2]

Little update - kinda - I have a chance for some RX8 rims - a set of 5 for only £75 !!!!

No tyres and need a refurb - ideal for what I wanted to do....

See below, and tell me what ya think, if you don't mind peeps....

Standard....

[Scottyb]

anthracite and red calipers looks really nice!!

[MRHBLUE2]

Hmmmm - I was more drawn towards the white alloys and the red calipers !

....but this is also what I am considering....
