Guys

Got my new iS this weekend and it rocks, had a few problems, viscous fan and weeping rocker cover gasket but its all sorted now.

120K full history, wicked sound system all though the rear speakers need wiring up.

Going for the black and white effect, chip and throttle body to come at the end of september.

I'm so chuffed :D :cool:

Great purchase there. I've had my iS for a few months now and I love it as much as the day I bought it.

No Probs Mate

Just leave the chrome arches and 3 spokes off it :o)

Anyway - i think Wilson's alloys would look good if they are still available!

So true.

Since I sorted the wheels/tyres on mine it's taken on a whole new level of satisfaction. Even driving it slowly it feels fun. I think that's the clever thing about the iS - it can be manic when you want, and thanks to a smooth engine it doesn't mind being revved to the limit. Then, when you want to be more relaxed it's a nice solid car. A lot of this applies to all E30s of course. Just the consistant 30mpg plus makes the iS a clever idea.
