Thanks guys. I am chuffed with it! After giving it a good clean and a damn good inspection it is very very tidy, a few stonechips here and there. The rear bumper is horrific- I tried to avoid photographing it.lol.

The wheels are filthy. I didnt bother cleaning them.lol I'm used to cleaning the Borbets which is nice and easy 8)

This one I am keeping :D The other one is a great car but it needs too much paintwork to get it looking as neat as the new one does.

I'd love to keep them both but I dont think I can afford it :( and even if I could its arguably idiotic :D

Very nice Dude. :thumb: Looks like it was well worth the long journey. winkeye
I prefer the understated look of the MTech1 to the in-ya-face bulbous look of the MTech2. :)

The same thing that most tech 1's suffer from RUST.

hurry up and get the Borbets on. :twisted:

Correct 1an! Fukin rust! Apparently it was dripped on in storage. I checked the rear valance and its absolutely solid so nothing to worry about. Its only the centre section so nice easy fix that I can do myself. He bought a new bumper from spadge which he is going to post to me. I'll try and at least get a solid one on their even if it is black as it looks nasty.

You will learn to love it, It's one of those colours that looks so right when properly maintained.


I'm not biased much! :P

Glad to hear your keeping the cloth, from the pics the cloth looks mint and when mint, hounds tooth trim looks good.
