No problems Khan, it was my pleasure.

Just for the record, those pics do the car no justice, it looks 1000x better in the flesh, it's a very clean / straight example. If I wasn't such a power junkie I'd seriously be considering that car.

Good luck with it. Glad he came thru with the wheels.

Let us know how you go.

Regards, Maurice.

Hey guys, just to give an update, took the car at S&L cars for inspection. It was all good except one issue. They said the Airbag warning lights was not working (it should light up at start for 6 sec) and rear shocker leaking slightly. They suspected a possible collision damage at the front may result the air bag issues. but the funny thing, later when i check that the airbag lights, all was ok ( it was lighting up for 6 sec). the rest is pretty good. No other issues. real confused now. Should i get someone else to check and confirm if there was any accident? I am not sure how correct the S&L cars were!

Cheers

Thanks guys, had another independent inspection by StateRoads. According to the written report, they have classified the body, chassis and paintwork in "original" and "Excellent" condition and there is no problem with airbag. I am convinced to get the car at last :-)

Khan, I actually purchased my TT off them at the beginning of the year. The car has had no mechanical problems since the purchase. The only thing I should warn you about is the fact that they tend to over-buff the car. My car has quite a lot of swirls due to excessive buffing but then again, my car is black so they do tend to stand out more. I may be wrong though, and the buffing could've been done in Japan prior to their purchase. Doesn't mind me much since I'm planning on doing a respray soon anyway.

Congratulations Khan .

I'd wait until the car is in your possesion, so you don't end up ordering the wrong one.

And for the original Timber for the dash (as opposed to the console) you'll need to source some 2nd. hand, preferably from the same car to ensure continuity of grain effect in the timber.

ps: They are available NEW, but I'd hate to think what the price would be
