Back in the fold

Put down a deposit on an 04 plate facelift this weekend so I'm back with you guys.
It's not a 4.6 but I have been very impressed with the performance for an oil burner.
The diesel seems difficult to find with a good spec but this one comes with:
1). Full comms pack
2). Heated front seats
3). BMW tow bar--unused
4). Brushed ally interior trim
Insp 2 just done, new front discs and pads, new tyres on each corner (Bridgestones) new injectors, new CV Boots, new MOT. Guy is a BMW indy so will also be doing a grearbox oil and filter change before I collect it next week. In essence, nothing to do except tax it and drive.
Almost forgot, it's Toledo Blue with light grey leather.
Nice to be back.

Very nice combination of colour you have there.
It looks really nice & i always prefer lighter colour interiors instead of predictable black! even though mine is black!
Hope you have lots of fun in it.

Thanks chaps.
I do like the colour. It wasn't really by choice. More a case of finding the best spec and history/mechanics and as long as the colour wasn't totally gross I would go with it. Nice to have a colour that you don't see on many although I think Estoril is the best.
A light colour interior was a must as the car will spend it's summers in Greece. Might have the air con re-gassed before we drive down in April.
I must admit I am tempted to get it mapped. I guess I'm looking at around 250bhp and better fuel consumption?
Not sure I'm happy with it yet Sanj as I don't pick it up till next Friday. I'm sure it will be fine.

Welcome to the oil burners club!
I like that interior, it seems a lot brighter and less gloomy than my black one!
