Hi all
I've recently became the owner of an 09 AGP thanks to my wife.
It's in red with black mirrors, alternative alloys (in need of a refurb), leather interior, climate control too.
Love it. Just need to get a few bits sorted to my standard and then let the fun begin.
I've done a few little bits already, most important was a good wash and clay, and then some protection. Need to get someone with a da on it for maximum niceness.
I'm really enjoying it, just a fun car to drive.
Heres a quick pic but I'll get some more up when it's sunny and the wheels/little bits are done.

Just updated the B&m to 5.6, can't immediately see any differences but I'm sure there must be some....

Welcome to the exclusive club!

have the same spec car as you...only a handful around i think. I've been contemplating getting black wing mirror covers and needed to see them on the car, you've solved my issue....will invest.

Happy driving

Welcome! Great looking motor (y)

When I updated to blue&me 5.6 I didnt notice any difference at all.

In fact when i updated it had a warning saying something like "If you dont have any issues playing music with 5.5 then DONT update to 5.6" :D

Hi and thank you. Yes loving it so far, it's great. Although finding speed bumps by me a scraping issue, although the others I go over without an issue!
Yeah I haven't seen another on the road, and haven't seen another one anywhere with black mirrors.
Sorry Im going to cost you money! ?

Thank you! Yeah I read that after I updated it. I did read most of it first, honest. ?
It works fine, in fact I think it's a little quicker to play media music.

Would love the Matt black super sport stripes over the bonnet and roof but not sure it would look ok. (Want rid of the side stripes)

Gave the girl a little clean and polish.
I know it's not up to most people's standards but it was better than dirty.

Going in on Wednesday for a middle silencer delete. Very excited!! Just hope it makes some difference
 
Well this morning was spent fitting the powerflex bush into the gearbox mount. Surprisingly easy to do and although a bit of a squeeze to get back in, no major headaches.
As for improvements, I'll keep you posted. Did take it for a brief spin but as the engine was cold didn't push it to see if it had made any noises go away. I will post over the next few days in case anyone is interested...
 
Update - the powerflex bush appears to have added some vibration which isn't a shock to be honest, it's not bad, it's just a bit annoying. Luckily it's not an old car so I don't fear it falling apart. ?
It's definitely improved the gear change and also the way it puts the power down in my mind, so all in very worth while.
