What's wrong with NA's?!?!?! So much predjudice against them on here!

unless you plan on tracking or dragging it then surely they are more than adequate - mine is!

So, is that one of the supposedly non existant bronze UK cars, or is it a respray? ;)

Bronze wasn't ever offered as a paint choice in the UK but there do seem to be a few knocking around, allegedly special order only or somesuch.

Nothing wrong with them per se, until you've got used to a much more powerful (and different power delivery etc) variant of the same car. Because the interiors the same, the feel is the same, etc, there's a psychological expectation that they should go the same, and it's disappointing when they don't!

This is an original UK car and it is the original paint job from the factory. Its stamped with the correct colour code on the VIN plate and I also have the original service book that is stamped with the colour code and date of registration :thumleft:
